Bucha Bio, Inc. is hiring Chemistry/Materials Science Interns in
Houston, Texas to lead in the formulation, production design,
outsourced polymer extrusion partners, and management of our
current animal & plastic-free biotextile. Bucha Bio currently
produces various biocomposites with different properties by
combining bacterial nanocellulose with plant-based biopolymers &
ingredients.
This position could be filled with a driven university student or
recent graduate majoring or minoring in Chemistry, Materials
Science, Textiles, Polymer Science, Chemical Engineering, or
another related field who would be interested in and versatile

third-party plastics extrusion companies and internal pilot
production capabilities. We believe that learning the technology of
our processes as a starting point, allows the intern to understand
enough to execute the formulation and production of materials. The
intern will also have the ability to lead their own special
projects. Changes to the biotextile or production method must
contribute to one of Bucha Bio, Inc.'s established material science
goals: Consistency, Tensile Strength, Hydrophobicity, Durability /
Longevity, or another novelty feature that differentiates Bucha
Bio, Inc.'s biomaterial from other leather alternatives on the
market.
You will execute production tasks, determine the quickest and most
scalable path to improve material characteristics, foresee
potential points of failure to design, derisk, and execute
laboratory experiments, maintain detailed and accurate records,
analyze quantitative data, and communicate strategy, progress, and
results to Bucha Bio, Inc.'s management & investors through
presentations and meetings. Work is to be completed by the
candidate themselves as benchtop work under the direction of Senior
