THE ROLE
We are on the lookout for a Senior Scientist to spearhead the design, characterization, and optimization of aerosolizable particle systems. This pivotal role involves developing a comprehensive understanding of engineered particles during their generation, dispersion, and transport in air, and translating that knowledge into robust and scalable material and system designs.
The Senior Scientist will operate at the intersection of materials science, aerosol physics, and experimental engineering. You will lead the development of aerosol testing capabilities, shape experimental strategies, and connect particle design with airborne performance. This individual will play a vital role in establishing core methodologies and driving projects from concept to validation.
In this highly collaborative position, you will work closely with formulation, process development, and hardware teams to ensure seamless integration between particle design, production processes, and real-world deployment challenges.
