Web handling/Film converting Expert
WindBorne Systems, Redwood City, CA
The role
WindBorne is looking for a Web Handling/Film Converting Expert who knows exactly what those terms mean and why they matter. We need to scale our balloon manufacturing process to meet demand, and we believe your expertise in handling thin films at industrial scales is exactly what we need. If you've spent years wrestling with web tension control systems, designing nip rollers, or optimizing film handling processes, we want your expertise.
This isn't your typical manufacturing role. We're building systems that need to reliably produce ultra-lightweight balloons at scale - combining proven industrial processes with novel challenges unique to our application. You'll be working directly with our CTO and R&D team to not just scale our production 100x, but to fundamentally rethink how we build our balloons. We need someone who can bridge the gap between traditional manufacturing expertise and startup innovation.
The role combines the best aspects of industrial manufacturing (proven processes, rigorous engineering) with the excitement of a cutting-edge startup. You'll have the chance to design entirely new manufacturing systems while drawing on your years of experience in web handling and film converting. Whether you're coming from the packaging industry, plastics manufacturing, or another related field, if you're excited about applying your expertise to new challenges, we'd love to talk.
