Manufacturing Technician

About the Opportunity

Boston Materials produces advanced materials with enhanced energy transfer properties using its patented Z‑axis Carbon Fiber technology. The Company’s products solve critical performance bottlenecks in applications spanning thermal, electrical, and structural use cases. Its breakthrough Liquid Metal ZRT thermal interface material is designed for the most demanding AI infrastructure. Boston Materials is committed to expanding high‑volume manufacturing in the United States.

Getting a real sense of what the business does and how our work directly affects the outcome. Everyone is involved with the company’s success. No layers, no silos, no bureaucracy. Just the opportunity to make the greatest impact with the most responsibility.

Adapting to changes in the market at record speed. No multi‑layer signoffs and approvals. Instead, the latitude needed to get a new idea, product, or process off the ground quickly. We experiment, test, and are encouraged to do so. We create solutions to problems that our customers truly care about, and we understand that customers won’t wait for us to figure them out.

We’re not defined by past experiences or confined by our current job description. Every day offers opportunities to have influence and be challenged with new projects and tasks. Working shoulder‑to‑shoulder with some of the top talent in the industry, we can showcase our talents, expand our knowledge, develop new skills, and take ownership and act. All while contributing to the overall success of the organization.

Join us to solve the most critical challenges facing the Advanced Semiconductor, AI Infrastructure, and Advanced Materials industries.

Opportunity knocks at Boston Materials. Will you answer the call?

We are seeking a diligent and detail‑oriented Lab Technician to play a critical role in our Research and Development (R&D) and Quality Control (QC) operations. You will be responsible for preparing, processing, and testing our proprietary carbon fiber‑based materials, ensuring adherence to strict quality standards, and supporting the rapid development of new product formulations.

• Operate, maintain, and execute varied testing on raw materials and in‑process samples using specialized lab equipment, including but not limited to thermal analysis equipment, mechanical testers (e.g., UTM for tensile, compression, and shear), electrical testing equipment, calendering tools, and die cutting.
• Follow detailed SOPs to prepare samples, including composite layup, cutting, polishing, and mounting.
• Assist scientists and engineers with experimental setups, material mixing, formulation preparation, and small‑scale batch processing related to our Z‑axis Fiber composites; troubleshoot process deviations and material issues under the direction of engineers.
• Monitor and record critical processing parameters (e.g., temperature, pressure, time) during pilot and production runs and promptly report out‑of‑spec or non‑conforming results to the appropriate personnel.
• Accurately record, manage, and analyze experimental and quality control data using laboratory notebooks, Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), and spreadsheets.
• Ensure all testing and calibration logs are maintained in compliance with internal Quality Management System (QMS) standards.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe laboratory environment in accordance with Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) policies.

• Associate Degree or technical certification in Chemistry, Materials Science, Engineering, or a related field; or equivalent experience.
• 1+ years of hands‑on experience working in an R&D, QC, or manufacturing laboratory setting, preferably with advanced materials, polymers, or composites.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a fast‑paced R&D/manufacturing team.
• Proven experience with standard laboratory practices, safety protocols, chemical handling, and familiarity with common material characterization techniques (e.g., mechanical testing, microscopy).
• Proficiency in…
