About the role

The role spans office, lab, and potential shipboard work, with travel to Key West, FL and Washington, DC as needed, and work governed by security requirements. Applicants should have advanced degrees in polymer/plastics engineering or materials science, plus 3 years' experience in materials research and environmental effects, plus MATLAB and FEA skills for data analysis and modeling.

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.
