Lead Material Engineer (Healthcare)

The Teams and Role: The CMF Lead Engineer owns colour, material and finish (CMF) development for Logitech PWS products from concept to mass production, with a special focus on Healthcare products. The role is split evenly between two missions: Your contribution: A · Materials Innovation (~50%) ● Lead materials development for Healthcare products: chemical and disinfectant resistance (e.g. alcohol, quaternary ammonium, hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide wipes), cleanability, antimicrobial options and skin-contact suitability. ● Define test methods and run material characterisation and reliability testing (abrasion, chemical / wipe durability, sweat and sunscreen, UV / QUV, adhesion, colour stability); analyse failures and drive root cause. ● Work with material and finishing suppliers on formulation, process windows and cost, from lab sample to production-ready recipe. ● Build fast prototypes and sample kits so Design, Marketing and project teams can see, touch and decide early. ● Write findings into CMF standards, design guidelines and the CMF library. B · NPI CMF Execution (~50%) ● Translate ID / CMF design intent and marketing concepts into feasible CMF specifications, drawings and CMF documents. ● Own CMF engineering through the NPI phases (EVT, DVT, PVT, MP): process selection, DFM review, supplier trials, first-article and golden-sample approval, cosmetic specs and yield ramp. ● Develop and control decorative processes: spray painting (incl. soft-touch and UV coatings), pad /screen printing, IMD / IML, laser marking and etching, mould texturing (chemical and laser), anodizing, PVD / NCVM and plating. ● Manage colour from target to production: colour standards, spectrophotometer and light-booth. evaluation, ΔE and gloss tolerances, metamerism control and colour matching across materials and suppliers. ● Resolve CMF issues on the line with suppliers and factory teams (China, Vietnam and partner sites) and protect launch schedules. ● Balance appearance, durability, compliance and cost, and propose design-for-cost alternatives when needed. C · Technical Leadership ● Act as the go-to CMF expert for Healthcare products and contribute to the CMF SME program (e.g. Paint, Ink & Coating, Hard Plastic, Texture & Tooling benches). ● Partner with ID, ME, Quality, Regulatory, Sourcing and Product Management across Asia and EMEA. Key

• Bachelor's degree or above in Materials Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Polymer Engineering or a related field. ● 7+ years of CMF engineering or materials development experience in consumer electronics (3C) or electronic products, including several full NPI cycles to mass production. ● Colour theory: solid knowledge of colour science, colour measurement (CIELAB, ΔE, gloss), light sources and metamerism, and colour standard management. ● CMF processes: hands-on experience with most of: painting, printing, laser marking, texturing, IMD / IML, anodizing, PVD / plating. ● Materials: strong understanding of engineering plastics (PC, ABS, PC/ABS, PA), elastomers (TPU, TPE, silicone), coatings and inks, and common metals (aluminium, stainless steel). ● Experience with CMF reliability and durability testing and failure analysis. ● Proficient written and spoken English; able to work with global teams and suppliers. Preferred Qualifications: ● Healthcare industry: experience with healthcare or medical electrical products is strongly preferred. ● Familiarity with healthcare material requirements: disinfectant / cleaning-agent compatibility, biocompatibility for skin contact (ISO 10993 awareness) and the medical electrical equipment environment (IEC 60601-1 awareness). ● Knowledge of material compliance: RoHS, REACH, PFAS restrictions, UL 94 flammability. ● Experience with sustainable materials (PCR / bio-based resins, low-VOC or waterborne coatings). ● Supplier development experience with paint, ink, resin or texturing suppliers in Greater China. Key Competencies: ● Technical depth with judgement: knows when to push innovation and when to pick the proven process to protect the launch. ● Structured problem solving: data-driven root cause analysis, clear test plans. ● Influence without authority: aligns Design, Engineering and suppliers on one CMF decision. ● Ownership and pace: drives multiple NPIs and innovation topics in parallel. #LI-AL2/104
