Job Description
As our Materials & Process Engineer, you'll be the materials generalist those teams rely on: the person who owns how metals are selected, characterized, and qualified across our hardware, and who bridges our chemistry and materials-science work with the engineers designing, building, and testing real components.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in materials engineering, metallurgical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related engineering discipline
- Evidence of exceptional ability (prior projects, portfolio of work, completed products, etc.)
- 5+ years of professional materials and/or process engineering experience
- Hands-on experience taking materials and processes from selection through characterization, qualification, and into production
- Working breadth across metallic material
- Ability to obtain and maintain any required security clearance and access authorization
- Master's degree or Ph.D. in materials engineering or a related field
- Genuine generalist depth across metals (heat treatment, welding, forming, casting/forging, coatings).
- Experience with failure analysis and characterization techniques, including fractography, metallography, SEM, FTIR, and mechanical testing
- Experience serving as the interface between a chemistry or materials-science function and mechanical / hardware design and manufacturing teams
- Familiarity with material qualification, design allowables, and relevant industry specifications (ASTM, ASME, AWS, NACE, etc.)
- Experience in a fast-paced, resource-constrained startup or Skunkworks-style environment
Benefits & Perks
- The base salary range for this role is $140,000-$190,000 annually.
- Compensation bands are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual level and base pay is determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related skills, education, experience, technical capabilities and internal equity. Please note that the stated salary range is an estimate and may be adjusted based on market conditions, business needs, or other factors. In addition to base salary, for full-time hires, you may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of stock options, and access to medical, vision & dental coverage as well as access to a 401(k) retirement plan.
