We are a team of forward-thinkers, scientists, and problem-solvers rewriting the rules of food preservation. Join us and help make a measurable impact on the planet every single day.

Role Overview

We are looking for a highly capable and hands-on Principal Product Development Engineer with significant industrial experience in polymers, materials, packaging, manufacturing, and product development.

Simultaneously manage technical workstreams across multiple development projects.

2. Experimental Design & Technical Validation

Design and execute structured trials; analyse test data to drive product and manufacturing decisions.
Develop product specifications, validation criteria, and robust technical documentation backed by scientific data.

3. Manufacturing Scale-Up & Industrialisation

Partner with manufacturing team to transition laboratory products to commercial scale, optimising compounding, extrusion, coating, converting, and assembly.
Identify scale-up risks and troubleshoot plastic/polymer issues during manufacturing trials.
Establish robust manufacturing specifications, process parameters, and technology transfer protocols in collaboration with manufacturing team.

4. Cross-Functional & Commercial Support

Provide subject matter expertise to Regulatory, Operations, Commercial, and IP teams (including supporting IP generation).
Participate in customer meetings and translate complex technical data into actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders.

Experience & Qualifications

Essential

Education: Degree in Polymer Engineering, Materials Engineering, Polymer Science, Chemistry, or a related discipline.
Industrial Experience: 7+ years in product development, polymers, packaging, or manufacturing industries.
Commercialisation: Track record of leading technical projects from initial concept through to commercial launch.
Manufacturing & Supply Chain: Experience working within manufacturing environments and collaborating with external suppliers.
Technical Expertise: Deep understanding of polymer processing, material performance, and robust analytical/troubleshooting skills.
Communication: Strong technical reporting skills with the ability to convey complex data to diverse stakeholders.

Preferred Technical Expertise

Experience with one or more of the following:

Polyolefins (PE, PP), Polyester (PET), compounding, masterbatch technology, adhesives, laminates, and functional/active packaging.
Film extrusion, coatings, surface treatments, product industrialisation, and manufacturing process optimisation.
Food-contact materials, recyclability, and sustainable packaging solutions.

Personal Attributes

Practical, hands-on problem solver who takes total ownership of projects and drives them to completion.
Comfortable operating in a fast-paced startup environment while balancing technical excellence with business priorities.
Highly organised, self-motivated, and driven by strong technical curiosity.
An excellent communicator capable of bridging the gap between technical and non-technical teams.

What We Offer

Competitive Compensation: A highly competitive base salary paired with performance-based bonuses and equity options, ensuring you share in our long-term success.
Green Benefits: Access to our Salary Sacrifice Electric Car scheme, helping you lower your carbon footprint outside of work, too.
Growth & Innovation: Work in state-of-the-art laboratory facilities with dedicated funding for your continued professional development.
Real Global Impact: The unique opportunity to be an early, influential part of a high-growth scale-up actively disrupting a multi-billion-dollar sector and fixing the global food system.
