This is an exciting, unusual and varied position for the right applicant who will need a solid background in flexographic printing.
Ironwood Digital is a small technology company based in Cambridge, who create printed iPad-like touch controllers by combining conductive ink & traditional print technology with low-cost electronic micro-controllers for scalable, volume applications. The company have won many awards by pushing the boundaries in interactive print. We’re at an exciting stage of our development and are now looking to hire an experienced print specialist to join our dynamic team.
We’re looking for someone hands-on, passionate & curious about innovative technology applications & prepared to get their sleeves rolled up. This is a broad role requiring knowledge of flexo, screen printing and converting processes. It’d suit someone who is technically strong right across design, pre-press, plates, ink & substrates.
We do need your print expertise, but in addition you’ll need good practical skills as the role will also involve working on sophisticated R&D projects surrounding the integration of our printed sensors with complex electronics. For this you’ll have the full support of our creative and engineering teams. The role will involve benchmarking new materials & developing new testing & QA systems. Attention to detail and a methodical approach to process control will stand you in very good stead. Supporting the activities of the Chief Operating Officer, who also comes from a print background, you’ll be responsible for working closely with both internal & external teams and will need to be a solid team player; have excellent communication skills to ensure any testing programmes, production trials/runs are all set up & ready to go when required.
