• Semiconductor chip manufacturing   and   a dvanced packaging  

• Next-generation wire, cable, and interconnect solutions   for   h igh-speed, high-frequency communications and data infrastructure ,   and   AI and hyperscale data center technologies  

• U ltra-high-purity   or harsh chemical   fluid handling systems ,   often at extreme   temperature s in   challenging   environments  

• T ransportation,   aerospace, defense,   medical,   and   industr ial   technologies  

Fluoropolymer material   solutions   are essential to support several growing areas of modern advanced electronics technology .    As   semiconductor   device architectures become more   complex   and semiconductor manufacturing demands higher purity, reliability, thermal performance, and chemical resistance, fluoropolymers are   the   materials of choice.   

The revolution in   high speed/high frequency   communication, increase in   connect ed   applications ,   and   Artificial   Intelligence, require next generation   materials that are   durable   and have the best   possible   electrical insulation properties , such as for data center cabling . Fluoropolymers are   that   solution.  

This role offers a unique opportunity to lead the   global   technical team   collaborati ng   with our   customers and   value chain partners to drive   technology development at the forefront of these industry transformations , as well as supporting the existing applications and product portfolio .    

This   highly visible   role   of Global Technology Manager   will lead a   global   team of scientists and engineers around the wor ld ,   who   are   responsible for   solving the challenges that   face   the current incumbent materials.  

The Global Technology Manager   will coordinate program activities and resourcing, guide development   and prioritization,   and have oversight of   the global   R&D,   t echnical   s ervice,   p rototyping , testing, and   application development   laboratories   in   America,   Europe   and China .   The role also interacts with strategic customers and value chain partners   to   identify   and drive adoption of   the new   materials .    The position is a key leadership position in the   technology organization ,   work ing   daily   together with the   global   technology director and VP of technology, as well as the   global   b us iness development team,   strategic growth team members,   and all other functions to develop and commercialize   Chemours new offering s.  

The responsibilities of the position include, but are not limited to, the following:  

• Lead and develop a global team of R&D scientists and application engineers,   establishing   strategic priorities, talent development plans, and technical excellence standards  

• Monitor and evaluate progress and results, and   determine   improvements or changes needed to achieve goals.  

• Work   daily   with   the   global   technology and commercial   team s   to ensure alignment of technical resources with business strategy   for   new product   and application   development .  

• E xpan d   capabilities to support product development , application   prototyping   and   industry relevant performance testing   for   the target   applications.  

• Oversee global laboratory operations and investment strategies, including implementation of new equipment, testing methodologies, and development processes   - f oster ing   a culture of innovation, collaboration, technical rigor, and safe laboratory operations.
