Job Type : Full-Time

Key Responsibilities

Carry out experimental analysis of instruments such as DSC, TGA, AFM, XRD, SEM, FTIR, DVS, DMA, Rheometer & Viscometer, Particle size analysis, Dynamic light scattering and Tensile Tester, Coefficient of Friction, Surface tension, Contact angle measurement, other mechanical & Packaging instrumental analysers with the support of head of department.

• Ability to choose appropriate polymers is crucial for achieving desired properties like flexibility, barrier resistance, and durability in packaging and sustainability applications.

Demonstrate ability to handled different types of polymer processing techniques like casting, coating, injection, blow moulding, extrusion, film extrusion and co-extrusion are employed to produce multi-layer films that offer enhanced protection and functionality in packaging.

Conduct reaction kinetic studies aids in understanding the rates of chemical reactions, which is essential for optimizing process parameters and improving efficiency.

Ability to implementing lean principles can streamline laboratory operations by reducing waste, minimizing lead times, and enhancing throughput.

• Participate in technology transfer activities involves transferring processes from the laboratory to pilot or production scales, requiring collaboration and effective communication across teams , and safety protocols to ensure successful scale-up.

Able to integrating automated systems and digital tools can improve data accuracy, reduce human error, and accelerate testing processes. Improve Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) and automated analytical instruments.

Utilize simulation tools allows for modelling and analysing processes to predict outcomes, identify bottlenecks, and optimize operations.

Adhere to good manufacturing practices ensures that laboratory operations meet quality standards, maintain consistency, and comply with regulatory requirements.

• Implement safety protocols and training programs helps in mitigating risks associated with laboratory operations, ensuring a safe working environment for personnel.
