ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
Not often in one’s career do we get the chance to—

Get close to the mission. Getting a real sense of what the business does and how our work directly affects the outcome. Where everyone is involved with the company’s success. No layers, no silos, no bureaucracy. Just the opportunity to make the greatest impact with the most responsibility.
 
Move faster. Adapting to changes in the market at record speed. No multi-layer signoffs and approvals. Instead, the latitude needed to get a new idea, product, or process off the ground quickly. Where we can experiment and test new ideas— and are encouraged to do so. We create solutions to problems that our customers truly care about, and we understand that customers won’t wait for us to figure them out.
 
Branch beyond the role. We’re not defined by past experiences or confined by our current job description. Every day offers opportunities to have influence and be challenged with new projects and tasks. Working shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the top talent in the industry, we’re able to showcase our talents, expand our knowledge, develop new skills, and take ownership and act. All while contributing to the overall success of the organization.
 
Create critical solutions. Join us to solve the most critical challenges facing the Advanced Semiconductor, AI Infrastructure, and Advanced Materials industries.
 
Opportunity knocks at Boston Materials. Will you answer the call?

Purpose of this Role 

Boston Materials’ New Product Introduction (NPI) team is looking for an experienced process engineer who can turn cutting-edge R&D into reliable, production-ready manufacturing. In this role, you’ll work closely with Engineering and Operations to translate new processes into clear, repeatable procedures that support our next generation of thermal interface materials. 

You’ll own the details of process control and data analysis, implementing rigorous monitoring to spot patterns, uncover root causes, and push systems to meet high safety, capacity, and yield targets. This work isn’t just about maintaining stability, it’s solving hard problems, removing bottlenecks, and unlocking the keys to scaling production processes to high-volume operations. If you’re driven by troubleshooting complex systems, validating bold ideas, and building processes that stand up to real-world production, this is the place to do it. 

Boston Materials is an EOE and at the forefront of materials innovation, the key to which is diverse teams with unique backgrounds and experiences. We are committed to employing a diverse workforce with equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, veteran status, or disability.

Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the US on a full-time basis.
