Material Science Engineer
Role Description
We are seeking a highly motivated, part-time Materials Science Engineer located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with a strong background in carbon nanomaterials—including carbon aerogels, nanotubes, graphene, or related systems—to join our R&D team. The ideal candidate will contribute to the design, synthesis, characterization, and integration of nanostructured carbon materials for high-performance applications.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and optimize carbon nanomaterial synthesis processes (e.g., sol-gel, CVD, or templating methods).
Characterize materials using analytical techniques such as SEM, TEM, BET, Raman, XRD, and XPS.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams on the integration of carbon nanostructures into devices and systems.
Model structure–property relationships to guide materials design and scale-up.
Prepare technical reports, documentation, and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.
Contribute to proposal writing and intellectual property development.
Qualifications
B.S. or M.S. in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Nanotechnology, or a related discipline.
Hands-on experience with carbon-based nanomaterials (e.g., CNTs, graphene, carbon aerogels, nanofibers).
Proficiency in materials synthesis, surface modification, and microstructural analysis.
Familiarity with vacuum systems, plasma processes, or thin-film deposition is a plus.
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently in a multidisciplinary environment.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Preferred Experience
Background in electronic, electrochemical, or propulsion applications of nanomaterials.
Experience with scale-up processes or technology transition from lab to production.
Prior involvement in government- or industry-sponsored R&D programs.
