Position Summary: The Materials Process Technician is responsible for producing nanoporous materials by executing pre-approved Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in a wet-chemistry lab/production environment. This role focuses on consistent, repeatable processing; careful handling of materials and reagents, and maintaining high-quality documentation to support traceability, quality control, and continuous improvement. The ideal candidate will also support routine materials testing/characterization (per SOP), maintain a clean and safe work area, and follow Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) best practices at all times.

What you'll be doing

• Follow SOPs to produce nanoporous materials with high levels of precision.
• Utilize a variety of analytical techniques and instruments to carry out simple characterization techniques, following quality control (QC) procedures.
• Continuous SOP review to aid material production efficiency and accuracy.
• Maintain inventory of produced materials, and keep documentation & quality control reports organized for internal/external use.
• Report results and timeline adherence to relevant stakeholders as production occurs.
• Maintain detailed design documents, process specifications, and test reports.

What Experience You'll Need

Desirable:

• CNC and manual fabrication skills (fixture and sample prep or tooling support).
• Familiarity with scripting/data tools such as Python, MATLAB, or similar.
