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.

Requirements
