About the role

3M seeks a Polymer Mechanics & Characterization Specialist at the Maplewood, MN site to generate high‑quality experimental data and calibrated material models for predictive simulations of adhesives and tapes. You will operate rheometers, DMAs, DSC, TGA, and DIC systems, and collaborate across teams to ensure strategies meet application needs while maintaining rigorous safety and documentation standards.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
