About this role

Many engineers will spend their careers improving existing products.

At Vipo you'll help create the next generation of products.

Vipo develops advanced material technologies that protect critical infrastructure in some of the world's harshest environments. Our solutions are exposed to extreme heat, fire, pressure, corrosion, chemicals, and demanding operating conditions across the global energy and defense industries.

We're looking for a curious engineer who wants to solve real problems, learn fast, and make an impact from day one.

This role is for you if...

- You love understanding why things work.
- You enjoy testing ideas, not just talking about them.
- You get excited by difficult technical challenges.
- You want a career that keeps evolving.
- You'd rather help create new technology than simply maintain old technology.

What You'll Work On

- Advanced polymer and composite materials
- Material, product and technology development
- Laboratory and fire testing
- Material performance analysis
- Real customer challenges
- Global projects

Some days you'll be developing a new material. Some days you'll be testing its limits. Both are equally important.

A Career, Not Just a Job

We're not hiring someone to stay in the same role forever. We hire people with the potential to become specialists, innovators, technical leaders, and future drivers of the company.

At Vipo, you'll work closely with experienced engineers and material specialists while building expertise through real-world projects, testing, customer interaction, and hands-on development work.

Your learning curve should be steep. Your opportunities should be bigger than your job title.

Our Culture

No unnecessary hierarchy. No politics. No waiting years before you're trusted with responsibility.

We're an informal, collaborative team that values curiosity, initiative, knowledge-sharing, and continuous improvement. Good ideas matters the most.

Engineering with Purpose

We believe great engineering should make a difference.

The materials and technologies we develop help protect people, improve safety, extend asset life, and reduce maintenance requirements across critical industrial infrastructure worldwide.

What We're Looking For

- BSc or MSc in Materials Science, Polymer Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or similar
- Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset
- Curiosity and willingness to learn
- Hands-on approach
- Team player with ambition to grow
- Polymer experience

Why Vipo?

Accelerate your career by working alongside experienced specialists and gain real responsibility from day one, without unnecessary hierarchy.

Develop technologies that improve safety, protect assets, and extend service life worldwide of critical infrastructures and assets.

You will build expertise through hands-on projects, testing, customer interaction, and innovation. You will get the chance to follow an idea all the way to a finished product.

One Question Before You Apply

When you look back on your engineering career ten years from now, do you want to say you managed projects... or helped create technologies that didn't exist before?

If it's the second one, we'd like to meet you.
