Lead Carbon Nanomaterials Engineer

Purpose

We are seeking a lead nanomaterials engineer who can set the technical direction for our carbon nanomaterials strategy and translate fundamental science into measurable, scalable improvements in conductor performance. This person will help define how carbon nanomaterials are integrated into metal matrix composites, including approaches related to covetics and other carbon-metal interface architectures, to unlock meaningful improvements in electrical, thermal, and mechanical performance.

Basic Qualifications

• PhD or MS in materials science, chemistry, chemical engineering, physics, or a related field
• 8+ years of applied research leadership with demonstrated impact on products, processes, or commercialization
• Deep expertise in carbon nanomaterials and strong intuition for process-structure-property relationships
• Strong scientific writing skills, including clear technical documentation, experimental plans, and invention disclosures

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with carbon nanomaterial-metal composites, metal matrix composites, covetics, or carbon/metal interface chemistry
• Familiarity with graphene, carbon nanotubes, graphene growth methods, including localized or laser-inducted graphene
• Startup experience
