Senior Product Development and Process Engineer

About The Role

We are seeking a high-caliber Senior Product and Process Development Engineer to lead the lifecycle development of next-generation commercial roofing systems. In this role, you will blend deep polymer science and engineering fundamentals with hands-on manufacturing and customer insights. You will design, model, test, and scale advanced roofing solutions—specifically focusing on TPO, EPDM, and Polyisocyanurate (ISO) materials—while bridging the gap between R&D, plant operations, and field performance.

Responsibilities

• Product Innovation & System-Level Design
  • Lead the conceptualization, design, and development of commercial roofing products and full-assembly systems from inception to commercialization.
  • Apply a systems-engineering approach to ensure components (membranes, insulation, adhesives, and fasteners) perform cohesively under diverse environmental stresses.
  • Translate market trends and customer pain points into concrete, innovative technical solutions.
• Advanced Modeling & Experimental Testing
  • Leverage CAE tools (FEA/CFD) for structural, thermal, impact, and wind-uplift performance simulations, or for process simulations to accelerate product development and plant troubleshooting.
  • Design and execute rigorous physical testing protocols (e.g., tensile, tear, accelerated weathering, thermal efficiency) to validate FEA models and ensure compliance with industry standards (FM, UL, ASTM).
• Material & Process Engineering
  • Leverage deep technical expertise in polymer chemistry, structure-property relationships, formulation design, and compounding.
  • Optimize the processing of single-ply membranes (TPO, EPDM) and rigid foam insulation (ISO), ensuring robust blending, extrusion, and curing/foaming performance.
  • Troubleshoot complex plant processing issues related to polymer rheology, degradation, and raw material variability to eliminate defects and improve yields.
• Voice of Customer & Cross-Functional Leadership
  • Act as a technical bridge to the field, capturing customer feedback to refine product designs and resolve complex field performance issues.
  • Collaborate closely with Product Management, Operations, Quality Assurance, and Procurement to drive projects to completion on time and within budget.
  • Demonstrate a commitment to communicating, improving and adhering to health, safety and environmental policies in all work environments and areas. Promote a culture of safety and exhibit these behaviors.

Requirements

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Polymer Science/Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related discipline. A Master’s degree or Ph.D. is a plus.
• Experience: 10+ years of progressive engineering experience in polymer formulation, material characterization, and process development, specifically within the commercial roofing or building materials industry.
• Technical Mastery:
  • Proven expertise in TPO, EPDM, and Polyisocyanurate (ISO) chemistry, melt processing, characterization, and application.
  • Strong understanding of polymer characterization techniques (e.g., DSC, TGA, DMA, rheology) and their application to product design.
  • Proficiency with standard FEA software (e.g., Hyperworks Suites, ANSYS, Abaqus, or SolidWorks Simulation) applied to non-linear polymer materials or structural assemblies.
  • Strong root-cause analysis and troubleshooting skills in a continuous polymer extrusion or foaming manufacturing environment.
• Mindset: Innovation-driven, highly analytical, and deeply customer-focused with excellent cross-functional communication skills.

Additional Requirements

• Successful candidates must adhere to all safety protocols and proper use of Amrize approved Personal Protection Equipment ("PPE"), including but not limited to respirators.
• Employees that are required to wear respirators must be clean shaven where the respirator seal meets the face in order to pass the qualitative and quantitative fit tests.

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Retirement Savings: Choose from 401(k) pre-tax and/or Roth after-tax savings
• Medical, Dental, Disability and Life Insurance
• Holistic Health & Well-being programs
• Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) & Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) for health and dependent care
• Vision and other Voluntary benefits and discounts
• Paid time off & paid holidays
• Paid Parental Leave (maternity & paternity)
• Educational Assistance Program
