Product Developer (fmx) in Film Extrusion technologies

• Develop scale and optimize film formulations based on traceless materials for blown and/or cast film extrusion (e.g. packaging single-use items etc.).
• Design structured experiment plans document all trials and evaluate data to derive clear development directions.
• Coordinate and perform material and film testing (e.g. tensile puncture tear thickness profile optical properties barrier and sealing tests) together with internal labs and external partners.
• Investigate relationships between material structure processing conditions and film properties and feed results back into formulation and process design.
• Translate application requirements (e.g. mechanical strength barrier sealability) into film structure recipes and process settings.
• Plan execute and evaluate lab- pilot- and production-scale extrusion trials in collaboration with our Application Engineers.
• Create and maintaintechnical documentation for products and processes (specifications test plans trial reports SOPs scale-up reports).
• Prepare and accompany scale-up and validation runs on internal and customer extrusion lines.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with other groups to align on capabilities customer needs compliance and product implementation.
