* Maintain meticulous records of batch formulations, process parameters, and quality control metrics for aerospace traceability.
Requirements
* Proven hands-on experience formulating structural adhesives, especially epoxy resins and polyesters.
* Direct background operating continuous web/roll-to-roll coating machinery (e.g., slot-die, gravure, or comma bar).
