PKR. 1,000,001+/Month

We are seeking a highly skilled and innovative Conductive Elastomer Polymer Engineer/Material Scientist to join our team in developing next-generation wearable technology. This role involves designing, formulating, and testing flexible, biocompatible, and conductive materials for use in cutting-edge consumer electronics. You will work closely with engineers, product designers, and external manufacturers to bring our proprietary solutions to market. This is a virtual/remote job that requires hands-on work based in your location.

Responsibilities

Material Development:

Develop and optimize conductive elastomers with a focus on balancing electrical conductivity, flexibility, and biocompatibility.
Incorporate conductive fillers (e.g., silver-coated copper, carbon black, MWCNTs) into elastomeric bases while ensuring consistent material properties.

Testing and Characterization:

Perform electrical, mechanical, and thermal testing of materials to ensure compliance with product specifications (e.g., resistance, hardness, and durability).
Analyze and improve the stability of material conductivity under variable pressure and environmental conditions.

Collaboration:

Work with product teams to integrate materials into functional prototypes and ensure compatibility with design and manufacturing requirements.
Support scale-up processes with manufacturing partners to transition materials from R&D to production.

Compliance and Documentation:

Ensure all materials meet regulatory standards (e.g., ISO 10993 for biocompatibility).
Maintain detailed records of formulations, test results, and design iterations.

Qualifications

Education:
Suggested but not required: Master’s or Ph.D. in Polymer Science, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or related fields.
Extensive industry experience may substitute for advanced degrees.

Technical Expertise:

Deep understanding of elastomeric materials (e.g., silicone rubber, TPEs) and their chemical/physical properties.
Proven experience with conductive fillers (e.g., silver flakes, carbon nanotubes, graphene) in elastomer formulations.
Hands-on experience in electrical conductivity testing, rheology, and material characterization (e.g., SEM, FTIR, DSC, or TGA).
Familiarity with Shore A hardness measurements and optimizing biocompatible materials.

Experience:

3–5 years of relevant experience in developing conductive polymers, preferably for wearable or medical devices.
Experience in collaborating with cross-functional teams on product development.

Language and Communication:

Proficient in English (written and spoken), with the ability to prepare technical documentation and communicate complex ideas clearly.

Other Skills:

Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to innovate within constrained requirements.
Experience working within ISO or regulatory-compliant frameworks is highly desirable.
Project management and vendor collaboration experience is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications

Familiarity with biocompatible coatings (e.g., PEDOT:PSS) and surface engineering.
Experience in scaling formulations for mass production.
Knowledge of EEG electrode applications or wearable technology is a significant advantage.

What We Offer

Opportunity to work on breakthrough technologies at the intersection of material science and wearable electronics.
A collaborative and innovative team environment.
Competitive compensation package.
