From Arcturus's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Arcturus is creating a new wire technology stack that uses carbon nanomaterials to overcome the materials limitations of metals where performance breaks down, at real operating temperatures. Our technology is designed to significantly improve the performance of electric motors for drones and robotics, heat sinks, and ultimately the entire energy grid. At its core, Arcturus is developing a new class of carbon nanomaterial-infused metal matrix composites for high-performance conductor applications.
Why you should join us
This is a ground-floor opportunity to help build something that has never been done before.
You would join as a founding engineer/scientist and work closely with Arcturus’ technical leads across nanomaterials, additive manufacturing, and process engineering. This is a hands-on execution role for someone who wants to move quickly, learn across disciplines, and help turn first-of-its-kind materials science into real product performance.
Purpose
We are seeking Senior Scientists / Engineers who can serve as force multipliers for the technical team. This person will help execute experiments, analyze results, troubleshoot failures, document learnings, and translate technical direction into measurable progress.
The ideal candidate has strong fundamentals in one or more of the following areas: carbon nanomaterials, metal additive manufacturing, metallurgy, metal matrix composites, materials science/processing, or advanced manufacturing. You do not need to be an expert in every area, but you should be highly technical, hands-on, and excited to work at the intersection of materials science, manufacturing, and product development.
This role will report directly to the Lead Engineers and the CEO.
Support laser and optical setup for experiments, including basic optical alignment, focal length calculations, working distance, spot size, beam delivery, and resolution considerations for laser-based processing and characterization
Support CVD/LCVD-style growth experiments, including gas flow setup, laminar flow considerations, vacuum system operation, chamber setup, thermal profiles, precursor delivery, and carbon nanomaterial growth dynamics
Strong technical fundamentals in at least one of the following areas: carbon nanomaterials, metal additive manufacturing, metallurgy, metal matrix composites, materials processing, or conductor materials
If this role excites you, even if you do not check every box, we’d love to hear from you. We’d rather work with a fast learner who cares deeply about the work than someone with years of experience but little curiosity.
