Materials Chemist

About Us:

Feelit Technologies
is a fast-growing startup developing advanced sensing solutions that deliver real-time insights into critical industrial assets. Our unique nanotechnology-based sticker sensor and smart edge device help manufacturers boost uptime, cut operational costs, and prevent failures before they happen. The solution is non-intrusive, easy to install, and built for harsh environments.

About the role
:

We are seeking an experienced Materials Chemist to lead the development of functional inks used in our flexible strain-sensor technology. This is a fully R&D-focused position that includes ink formulation, deposition process development, performance evaluation of sensors, and the transfer of laboratory methods toward pilot and production environments.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and optimize functional/conductive inks and nanoparticle-based dispersions; learn and adapt defined synthesis and formulation routes.
• Adapt inks for digital/additive printing and other deposition methods on flexible substrates; support printing, curing and post-treatments; troubleshoot deposition issues.
• Plan and perform mechanical/electrical testing (sensitivity, drift, stability, repeatability), design simple test setups, and analyze data to generate clear conclusions.
• Write and maintain SOPs, test protocols and documentation; keep accurate lab records and support NPI activities (QC tests, acceptance criteria).

Required qualifications

• MSc or PhD in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering or related field.
• Proven experience with functional/conductive ink or coating formulations (preferably with advanced/nanostructured materials) and relevant printing/thin-film deposition.
• Strong background in dispersions/colloids and hands-on experimental problem-solving.
• Proficient in data analysis with Excel or similar tools; able to work independently and communicate clearly within multidisciplinary teams.

Preferred experience

• Translating lab-scale formulations and tests to pilot or production lines.
• Industrial or pilot-scale printing/coating systems and flexible/printed electronics.
• Mechanical testing of strain- or stress-sensitive materials and devices.
