About Us

At Kunin Technologies, we are at the forefront of transforming the critical mineral supply chain by employing cutting-edge separation technologies to extract value from underutilized resources.

With metals integral to everyday technologies—such as solar panels, smartphones, and electric vehicles—the decline in global ore grades poses a significant challenge. Traditional extraction methods are increasingly inadequate, while countries like China lead the way with innovative solutions that capitalize on materials often dismissed as waste by American mines.

Our revolutionary mass-manufacturable nano-separation systems enable us to derive substantially greater value from each resource, minimizing waste and promoting domestic critical mineral production.

Your Role

As a member of our R&D team, you will play a pivotal role in advancing our mission. You will execute polymer and functionalization chemistry experiments designed to enhance our ion-exchange media. Your meticulous lab work will directly impact experimental outcomes, as you prepare polymer solutions, conduct chemical reactions, and produce samples essential for technological advancement.

Expectations by 2026

  • Reliable execution of polymer and chemistry experiments as per instructions from chemists and engineers.

  • Comprehensive, audit-ready lab notebooks documenting all experimental procedures, observations, and results.

  • A well-organized, fully stocked, and EHS-compliant laboratory environment.

  • Consistent sample preparation that supports scale-up trials and analytical testing campaigns.

  • Adept operation and maintenance of core analytical sample preparation equipment.

Your Responsibilities

  • Prepare polymer solutions, dopes, and reagent mixtures in line with established protocols for experiments.

  • Set up and carry out reactions under the guidance of chemists and engineers.

  • Prepare samples for analytical testing, including DSC/TGA thermal analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, SEM, and ICP-OES.

  • Conduct basic wet chemistry measurements—titrations, pH, conductivity—and swelling/mass uptake studies on polymer samples.
