Role & Responsibilities:

Epogee is looking for a motivated and innovative associate scientist to lead benchtop implementation of our manufacturing innovation.  The role will be responsible for taking ideas from the fuzzy front-end ideation, validating them through a stage gating-process and ultimately making recommendations and learnings that can be translated to process improvements and innovations at scale.  Example projects may include process improvements and optimizations, raw material and SKU validation, value-engineering, or novel process development.

This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives while working in the lab.  You’ll report to the director of R&
