What role you will play in our team

Help grow our ProxximaTM polyolefin thermoset system business. These resin formulations are based on cyclic C5 monomers and other proprietary monomers and additives. Our catalyst formulations have strong foundations in Nobel Prize‑winning technology developed by Professor Robert Grubbs and his research team. This powerful combination produces polymers that have the capability to outperform today’s thermoset composite solutions across a broad set of everyday applications such as wind turbine blades, electric vehicle parts, construction, and anticorrosion coatings.

Your role is to help prospective customers around the world convert from their existing thermoset products to ProxximaTM polyolefin thermoset systems by demonstrating cycle time, weight, and physical performance advantages on their pultrusion lines operating with injection dies.

Your office is at the Baytown Technology and Engineering Complex located in Baytown, Texas. However, you will spend time collaborating with commercial colleagues located at the ExxonMobil Campus in Spring, Texas, as well as occasionally traveling in North America and internationally to support customer trials.

• Provide technical insights gleaned from the market to help guide new application developments.
• Provide market insights to inform and update business strategy.
• Develop novel technology to strengthen the portfolio of intellectual property.
• Author technical reports and technical publications to share learnings.
• Co‑author promotional brochures and technical data sheets highlighting performance benefits.
• Train and mentor less experienced colleagues.

About you

Minimum Skills and Qualifications:

• 5+ year experience operating or supervising manufacturing of thermoset parts using pultrusion including injection die processing.
• B.S. or higher in Engineering, Material Science, or equivalent.
• Hands‑on and willing / able to set‑up and operate pultrusion lines without technician support.
• Strong interpersonal, analytical and communication skills.
• Proficient in use of computers and possess excellent administrative and organizational skills.
