Role & responsibilities :

- Product Development: Under the guidance of Manager R&D; you will formulate security inks and functional coatings, for various printing methods like Gravure, Flexo etc.

- Testing & Analysis: Conduct rigorous chemical, physical, and optical testing to ensure inks meet strict durability, adhesion, lightfastness, and chemical-resistance standards.

- Scale-Up & Production: Transfer lab-scale formulations to manufacturing, troubleshooting production anomalies and optimizing processing parameters. Also, to ensure each batch of Ink is made to yield same results.

- Quality Assurance: Establish raw material specifications and quality control protocols to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency.

Preferred candidate profile

- Education: Bachelors, Master’s in chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Polymer Science, or a closely related field.

- 5 - 7 years of hands-on experience in formulation chemistry,



with at least 2 years specifically within security printing, functional coatings, or specialty ink industries.

- Deep understanding of pigments, dyes, resins, solvents, photo initiators, and taggant technologies (e.g., luminescent, magnetic)

- Proficiency with lab synthesis tools, analytical instruments (FTIR, UV-Vis, HPLC, microscopy), and printability testers (e.g., Prufbau) to ensure colour matching, waste reduction and quality controls.

- Robust knowledge of UV-curable, water-based, and solvent-based chemistry.

- Experience with intellectual property, patent landscapes, and documenting technical reports.

- Sharp analytical problem-solving skills with meticulous attention to detail.
