Dymax is globally recognized as a pioneer in the development of light-curable adhesives and curing equipment. Today, our expansive portfolio of innovative adhesives, coatings, and maskants are supported by dispense solutions and cutting-edge UV and LED light-curing equipment. Unlike our competitors who supplying standard products, Dymax focuses on the customer experience by tailoring solutions that help customers lower costs, reduce their carbon footprint, improve efficiency, and drive profitability. Our focus on being a customer intimate organization has led us to where we are today: a rapidly expanding force within our industry, an innovative product portfolio, extraordinary employees, and a bright future based on creating quality offerings with a dedication to business growth.About YouWe're seeking a results-focused, innovative, self-driven, and well-qualified individual to join our talented team as our Sr. Process Engineer. In this role, you will develop and implement manufacturing processes, procedures, and equipment through Scale-up, Root Cause Analysis, Process Flow, SOPs, and Work Instructions, while focusing on cost reductions involving labor, materials, and overhead. Also, by creating new product innovation and prototype design, and developing functional testing protocols under common concepts, practices, and procedures within chemical manufacturing Why This Role MattersStrong manufacturing processes are the foundation of consistent quality, efficient production, and successful product launches. In this role, you will help shape how Dymax brings adhesive products from development into reliable, scalable manufacturing.You will work across Production, R&D, and Quality to improve existing processes, scale up new products, solve complex manufacturing challenges, and strengthen the systems and documentation that support our operations. This is an opportunity to combine hands-on chemical manufacturing expertise with process improvement, technical leadership, and cross-functional collaboration.What You Will Get to DoImprove How We ManufactureAssess product specifications, documentation, and quality standards to improve the quality, stability, consistency, and efficiency of new and existing adhesive manufacturing processesIdentify opportunities to reduce labor, material, and overhead costs while maintaining product quality and manufacturing performanceOptimize production process parameters and controls and execute process validation protocolsPlan workspace requirements and apply manufacturing-cell design strategies that support flexibility for high-mix, low-volume demand and new productsScale and Launch New ProductsDevelop and scale up new products and adhesive manufacturing processes from development into productionLead the coordination of manufacturing launches with Production, R&D, and Quality for new and revised productsSupport product innovation and prototype design and develop functional testing protocols within a chemical manufacturing environmentApply liquid and solid mixing and dispersion science to improve manufacturing viability and make effective use of modern mixing systemsStrengthen Quality and Process ControlImprove manufacturing consistency and first-pass yield by strengthening work instructions, SOPs, process-change documentation, and in-process adjustmentsCharacterize and manage manufacturing quality risk through process validations, Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEAs), process flows, and control plansWork within ISO policies and Dymax's Quality Management System to support disciplined, compliant manufacturing processesResolve customer complaints using effective root-cause analysis tools and implement the associated improvements to processes, documentation, and systemsLead Through Technical ExpertiseBuild subject-matter expertise through research, workshops, and hands-on manufacturing experience, and translate that knowledge into practical best practicesTrain and mentor colleagues and operators on processes, work instructions, SOPs, and manufacturing practicesLead projects and influence cross-functional teams to drive continuous improvement and successful executionWork hands-on in the manufacturing environment while also using data, documentation, and enterprise systems to support process decisionsWhat Success Looks LikeManufacturing processes are stable, consistent, efficient, and capable of meeting product and quality requirementsNew and revised products transition into manufacturing with clear ownership, documentation, controls, and cross-functional alignmentProcess risks are identified early and addressed through validation, PFMEAs, control plans, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvementOperators and colleagues have clear, practical work instructions and SOPs that support safe, repeatable executionProcess improvements contribute to stronger first-pass yield, better manufacturing viability, and reduced labor, material, or overhead costs.Why This Role MattersStrong manufacturing processes are the foundation of consistent quality, efficient production, and successful product launches.
