Senior Materials Engineer Billerica, MA
Boston Materials, Billerica, Massachusetts, us, 01821
Boston Materials produces a new class of materials that are conductive and durable like metal, yet light like plastic. The underlying technology revolves around vertically aligning carbon fibers to create materials with highly efficient energy dissipation properties. We use these highly differentiated materials to solve critical challenges relating to thermal management, vehicle weight reduction, and improving resource efficiency across Semiconductor, Electrified Vehicles, and Aerospace industries. Backed by proven manufacturing processes and validation in performance-critical applications across high-growth sectors, industry leaders turn to Boston Materials to go beyond today’s known limitations.OPPORTUNITY KNOCKSNot often in one’s career do we get the chance to—Get close to the mission.
Getting a real sense of what the business does and how our work directly affects the outcome. Where everyone is involved with the company’s success. No layers, no silos, no bureaucracy. Just the opportunity to make the greatest impact with the most responsibility.Innovate faster.
Adapting to changes in the market at record speed. No multi-layer signoffs. Fewer executives and shareholders to gain approval from. Instead, the latitude needed to get a new idea, product, or process off the ground quickly. Where we can experiment and test new ideas— and are encouraged to do so. We create solutions to problems that our audiences truly care about and understand customers won’t wait for us to figure them out.Branch beyond our role.
We’re not defined by past experiences or confined by our current job description. Every day offers opportunities to have influence and be challenged with new projects and tasks. Working shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the top talent in the industry, we’re able to showcase our talents, expand our knowledge, develop new skills, and take ownership and act. All while contributing to the overall success of the organization.Create critical resources.
The transition to a decarbonized economy is already underway and advanced computing is everywhere. Armed with coveted technologies and solutions, we unlock the way to accelerate electrification, increase compute efficiency, and harness cleaner energy— changing entire industries and our planet.Opportunity knocks at Boston Materials. Will you answer the call?Senior Materials EngineerEverything that we want to do in life depends on materials. Consider the Bronze Age, Iron Age, Age of Plastics – our evolution as a society is defined by the materials that we use. Products, from airplanes, electric vehicles, to semiconductor devices, are all enabled and limited by the materials that are available to us. Boston Materials is driven by the vision that creating novel materials will empower industry leaders to make new and better products.We are hiring a well-seasoned Senior Materials Engineer to join our expanding team and play a major role in developing and building new game-changing composite materials!The Purpose of this RoleWe hire people that are eager to make an impact!As a Senior Materials Engineer at Boston Materials, you will design, test, and validate advanced composite components and the associated molding processes. You will have an opportunity to leverage your knowledge and experience of composites and plastics to create innovative, best-in-class products. This is a crucial role with a unique opportunity to bring state-of-the-art composite designs from concept to reality.The Impact You Will Make in this Role:Evaluate technical requirements for designing innovative composite structures and componentsLead material selection, characterization, laminate design and new material development for multiple customer programsConduct materials and process testing, validation, and manufacturing implementationProvide ongoing engineering assistance to Operations during technology transition and scale-up, including troubleshooting process issues, conducting special testing campaigns, and developing detailed project reportsYour Skills and Expertise:Minimum BS in material science, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, or similar5+ yrs. experience working with composites, plastics or in advanced manufacturing environmentsStrong knowledge of polymers / fibers / reinforcements / coatings, cure cycles, bonding of metal and composites, and specifically in the areas of compression/injection molding processes.Strong knowledge of thermoplastic and thermoset materialsStrong knowledge of basics of structural materials including typical microstructures, processing, and propertiesStrong knowledge of mechanical testing of materials (e.g., hardness, tensile, fatigue, fracture toughness, etc.), including data analysis, property calculations, test protocols, etc.General knowledge of standard laboratory characterization methods for materialsGeneral knowledge in Root Cause Analysis / Root Cause Corrective Action (e.g. Fishbone Diagrams, Pareto Analysis, 5-Why Analysis, etc.)Experience with lay-up and multi-layer composite structure designDemonstrated applied knowledge of polymer science, process characterization, process-structure-property relationships and common materials processing techniques is requiredExperience reviewing engineering drawings and providing guidance to product development engineersExperience with materials and processes development for structural parts and assemblies utilizing composite and metal materialsExperience with manufacturing composite parts and assemblies including manufacturing processes, quality buyoff and manufacturing work orders/documentationFamiliar with Lab View, SOLIDWORKS, and general productivity softwareRelentless attention to detailBoston Materials is an EOE and at the forefront of materials innovation, the key to which is diverse teams with unique backgrounds and experiences. We are committed to employing a diverse workforce with equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, veteran status, or disability.Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the US on a full-time basis.
