Optimize rubber extrusion and autoclave curing processes for high-performance elastomer products
Worth knowing
Why it is interesting. Deep elastomer process ownership — extrusion parameters, die design, and curing chemistry — at a 40-year aerospace/defense manufacturer.
Might not be for you. Production-focused troubleshooting and SOP work rather than open-ended R&D; 5+ years hands-on rubber extrusion required.
