Job Description

We're hiring a skilled Process Engineer for our polymer and chemical compounding plant in Morristown.

You'll be the technical lead for every compounding line in the plant. You take new products from design review to full production — setting formulations and running conditions, supervising trial runs, and submitting Manufacturing Feedback reports to Commercial and Product Development. Between launches, you attack scrap, transition time, and run rates, monitoring data daily and stepping in when a process drifts out of alignment.

Supervisors and operators will come to you for answers, and you'll train them on new products and procedures.

Why Join Us

  • Family health coverage: 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision for your family.
  • Annual bonus: Bonus eligibility every year on top of your salary.
  • Run your own trials: Lead new products from formulation through startup.

Compensation

  • $80k–$100k per yr
  • Annual bonus eligibility

  • Trend monitoring: Review daily process data; correct out-of-control processes.

About Laborup

Laborup is the #1 AI powered talent platform for America’s industrial workforce. We use AI to create jobs, not take them away. We help HR and plant leaders hire and keep the skilled workers who keep plants running: machinists, welders, maintenance techs, operators, industrial electricians, and engineers. USA Today called us the “LinkedIn for blue collar workers,” and Forbes profiled our work in “How AI Is Solving America’s 1 Trillion Dollar Manufacturing Labor Crisis.”

Today we work with manufacturers from 50 person shops to large public companies with tens of thousands of employees, and the story is the same everywhere. It is hard to find talent, hard to keep good people, and staffing costs keep rising. In a market where filling critical industrial roles can take months and turnover is constant, Laborup helps teams move qualified workers from first contact to on site interview in days instead of weeks and keep them on the floor longer.

Most of the workers our customers need are not on LinkedIn or the usual job boards. Laborup uses AI to find this hidden workforce, call and text them, screen and qualify them, build real profiles, and match them directly to the plants and roles where they can succeed. For workers, that means real, permanent roles at serious manufacturers, not one off gigs. For companies, it is durable infrastructure for hiring and retention at scale in a labor market that will stay tight for years.

We work across nuclear, defense, and advanced manufacturing, as well as sectors like aerospace, automotive, and food production. Teams that use Laborup hire 5 to 10 times faster, see around 3 times better retention, and cut cost per hire by up to 50 to 70 percent. That turns into fewer empty shifts, fewer missed orders, more stable teams, and more capacity without more headache.

We are building the modern talent system for America’s industrial base with a simple long term goal: put a billion industrial workers to work in good jobs that matter.
