TIR&D Chemist
BS-level Formulation / Compounding roles on Crosslinked list a median of $90k (41 that show pay).
Develop and optimize powder coating, paint and sublimation material formulations and source raw materials.
Worth knowing
Why it is interesting. Own formulation end-to-end, from raw-material sourcing through new product development, in a small hands-on lab.
Might not be for you. Pay tops out near $60K and the scope leans formulation plus sourcing rather than deep polymer science.
