About the role

Cambium in El Segundo, CA is seeking a Synthetic Chemist to join our composite materials engineering team. You’ll work hands-on to synthesize new compounds for high-temperature materials and to optimize processes for manufacturability and performance in extreme environments. You will collaborate with discovery teams to evaluate routes, scale up building blocks, and guide reactor operations, while advancing defense and aerospace applications.

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.
