Job Description

Senior Process Engineer - Elastomer Materials & Bonding

Location:

Kulim Hi-Tech Park, Kedah

Salary Range:

RM10,000 - RM12,000

We're Looking for a Senior Process Engineer (Malaysians Only)

Are you passionate about materials engineering and precision bonding processes? Join an innovative team driving advancements in elastomer technology and high-performance manufacturing.

What You'll Do

- Lead the design, development, and validation of elastomer material and bonding processes -- rubber-to-metal and rubber-to-plastic applications.

- Evaluate and select adhesives, primers, and elastomer compounds for optimal compatibility and performance.

- Develop advanced surface preparation protocols (cleaning, roughening, chemical or plasma treatments) to ensure reliable adhesion.

- Conduct mechanical testing and thermal/environmental studies to validate bonded assemblies.

- Support the transition from prototype to production, including documentation, tooling input, and operator training.

- Collaborate closely with R&D, design, and quality teams to deliver robust and repeatable processes.

- Perform root cause analyses for bonding failures and drive effective corrective actions.

- Ensure all processes meet industry standards (ASTM, ISO) and specific customer requirements.

- Stay ahead of the curve by tracking emerging technologies in elastomer materials, adhesives, and bonding innovations.

What You Bring

- A Bachelor's Degree in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related discipline.

- 5-8 years of hands-on experience in elastomer material and bonding, or adhesive technologies -- preferably within automotive, aerospace, medical device, semiconductor, or industrial manufacturing sectors.

- Strong technical foundation in elastomer formulations (EPDM, NBR, FKM, silicone, etc.) and adhesive systems (epoxy, urethane, acrylic, etc.).

- Deep understanding of surface science, adhesion mechanisms, and process optimization tools (DOE, SPC).

- Skilled in mechanical testing, failure analysis, and interpreting complex data.

- Familiar with FMEA, control plans, and PPAP (especially in regulated environments).

- Experience in mold-in bonding, over-molding, or automated adhesive applications is highly desirable.

- Willingness to be based in Kulim Hi-Tech Park (Kedah) and

travel to the US when required.

Why Join Us?

- You'll be part of a forward-thinking engineering team shaping the next generation of elastomer bonding technologies -- where your technical expertise directly drives innovation, quality, and performance.
