Dr. Raphael Heeb

Joining forces with fellow ETH material scientists to commercialize their recently developed 3D printing technology for high-performance polymers.

- Overall responsibility from technical feasibility over sampling/prototyping to series production implementation and continuous production support - Coordination of process transfers between production sites - Ensuring continuous technical improvement

- Operational and technical responsibility for a pilot production line for optical assemblies - Technical process development and stabilization, cost reduction projects - Technical lead customer projects and prototyping

- Transferring a novel high-volume manufacturing concept for advanced optical assemblies from R&D into production - Establishing a new production line - Hiring and training of engineering and production personnel

- Plan and conduct R&D projects in the field of materials and surface science to expand technical capabilities - Support product management and business development in the acquisition of new customer projects

- Temporary research position at Unilever Corporate Research, Colworth, UK - Field of research: food and HPC tribology.
