CTO - Chief Technical Officer

GAMMA Tech is a just born start-up with a strong initial IP in both specific polymers and unmatched fillers to achieve unique composites. We want to bring new formulations of compounds to the automotive and aerospace industries and to the building sector. We believe our products can be highly attractive due to their lightness, their combined properties as regards mechanical, electric and thermal behavior, but also due to their very competitive price level.

The founders have been part of many successful start-up creations and are experienced people in the field of advanced materials in which GAMMA Tech can be a game changer.   

Your mission consists in managing the R&D department and leading this innovative project, i.e. turning smart components into multifunctional industrial composites. 

For such a purpose, your team will have to:
