Many engineers will spend their careers improving existing products.
At Vipo you'll help create the next generation of products.

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'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

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

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.
Join Vipo. Learn fast. Build what comes next.
