The Role

We’re looking for a Staff Scientist who can spearhead our R&D; efforts across material science, binder chemistry, and performance optimization of natural fiber composites. You’ll work closely with the founding team to drive innovation from lab to market — and help define the scientific DNA of the company.

This is not just a job. It’s an invitation to help build a science-first materials company from the ground up.

What You’ll Do

- Lead R&D; on biobased composites, with a focus on straw-based panel products

- Develop, test, and optimize binders/resins (formaldehyde-free, bio-based alternatives)

- Run experiments, design testing protocols, and analyze mechanical, thermal, acoustic properties

- Own partnerships with labs, research institutes, and testing facilities (BIS, NABL, etc.)

- Translate research into scalable pilot-line production processes





- Collaborate with operations and product teams to bring innovations to market

- Build and lead the science team over time

Requirements

Have 3–7 years experience in material science / chemical engineering / polymer science, ideally with a PhD or master’s degree

Have worked on natural fiber composites, bio-based binders/resins, or panel products

Are comfortable in lab + factory environments — you think in experiments, but build for the real world

Want to work in a mission-driven startup, with autonomy, responsibility, and impact

Are a problem-solver, a quick learner, and love getting your hands dirty (literally)

Have published research or patents — bonus
