Senior Materials Scientist

Vulcan Elements is manufacturing American rare-earth permanent magnets for a secure, resilient future. With a focus on national security and economic resiliency, we serve critical industries such as defense, aerospace, and automotive powering a high-technology future. Vulcan Elements is building a team of ambitious professionals committed to Mission Focus, Technical Excellence and Transparency. 

As the Senior Material Scientist you will own the science connecting the metallic coatings that protect them from corrosion and the characterization work that proves it. This is an R&D role based at our Research Triangle Park lab, working in direct support of our Benson, NC manufacturing facility: you'll develop and qualify processes in the lab and on pilot-scale equipment, interface with external suppliers then hand off specifications the Benson production team runs at scale. You'll own key external coating supplier relationships. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role with real influence over how a brand-new production facility is built and qualified.
