The opportunity 

Magic Leap is seeking a Sr. Materials Scientist with a focus on plastics and adhesives to support product development, applied research, and manufacturing. 

Our Materials Scientists work on the development and selection of new adhesives as well as evaluating their behavior and properties using a range of scientific instruments. The results of these tests are used to develop new materials, research the performance of a new material, improve the performance of existing products, eliminate failures with materials already in use, and help with the development of new technologies. We are looking for candidates who are motivated, creative, and dedicated team players who excel in a fast-paced environment. Candidates must have a strong technical background and rigorous approach to problem solving, documentation, and be able to communicate and collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams.

What you’ll do 

  • Material selection and implementation for product and manufacturing process development
  • Conduct research into the structures and properties of polymeric materials, especially thermoset resins and adhesives in order to obtain information that will be used to develop new products or enhance current products. Identify optimal cure and processing conditions and aid implementation in high volume manufacturing)
  • Operating and analysis of results  with a broad range of thermo-mechanical test methods for polymer characterization for product-relevant material properties, especially DSC, TGA, TMA, shear and tensile measurements, Rheometry, microscopy, profilometry, 
  • Devise testing methods to evaluate the effects of various environments (processing, humidity, mechanical stress, etc.) on materials
  • Analyze product failures to identify root causes and design implications, with focus on polymers, composite and adhesives failures
  • Analyze and resolve, or assist technicians in solving work problems
  • Assist in diagnosing issues for test instrumentation to provide accurate test data for engineers
  • Collaborate with engineers and scientists from other disciplines, such as mechanical, electrical or optical engineering

The experience you bring

  • Master’s degree in a Material science, chemical engineering or related field +5 years of related work experience or PhD degree with +2 years of related work experience
  • Deep knowledge of adhesives and plastics and their structure property relationship
  • Expertise in material characterization methodologies such as DMA, TMA, Instron, Rheometer, TGA, FTIR, RAMAN,  Instron, PSA testing and DSC
  • Experience with ASTM and other standard testings for mechanical performance and chemical characterization of plastics and adhesives
  • Analyze and communicate materials data in a clear, organized manner and make recommendations that allow for informed decision making
  • Good foundation in descriptive and inferential statistics with knowledge and experience in experimental design
  • Problem solving and troubleshooting skills
  • Ability to work independently or as part of a team
  • Capable of working on multiple tasks and projects
  • Highly detail oriented and self-motivated
  • Applicants must have good basic laboratory skills related to consistent experiment methodology and safety

It’s exciting if you also have

  • Ability to code in MATLAB
  • Statistical analysis (Six sigma certificate)
  • Familiarity with failure analysis of electronic components. (PCB, BGA chips. Solder and reflow process, different types of electronic packages and their characteristics)

Magic Leap U.S. Demographic Questions

At Magic Leap, one of our three core values is unity. It is important to us that Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging are embedded into the DNA of our organization. 

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter and electing not to self-identify will not subject you to any adverse treatment. Any information that you do provide will be visible only in aggregate and will not be associated with your specific application. 

As set forth in Magic Leap, Inc.’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

 

Veteran Status Description

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

 

Disability Status Description

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past.
