What is the difference between Associate Nasa Materials Science vs Materials Engineer?

AspectAssociate Nasa Materials ScienceMaterials Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's degree in materials science, engineering, or related field; some roles may require security clearanceBachelor's or higher in materials science, metallurgical engineering, or related field; professional certification optional
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, aerospace facilities, government agencies like NASAManufacturing plants, research labs, aerospace companies, government agencies
Employer & Industry UsagePrimarily NASA and aerospace research institutionsVarious industries including aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, and research

While both roles involve materials science, an Associate Nasa Materials Science typically focuses on supporting NASA's aerospace projects with research and testing, often at entry to mid-level. A Materials Engineer has broader responsibilities, including designing, developing, and testing materials across multiple industries. The roles differ mainly in scope, responsibilities, and work environment, with the Associate Nasa Materials Science role being more specialized within aerospace research.

Job description

About Formlabs:

Do you want to change how the world creates?

At Formlabs, we're building the tools that make it possible for anyone to bring their ideas to life, from cutting-edge products to life-saving medical devices. Our 3D printing technology powers innovation at more than 50,000 industry leaders worldwide, including Apple, Google, Tesla, New Balance, and NASA. Together, we're helping everyone design, prototype, and manufacture faster than ever before.

We're a team of hands-on builders, engineers, and innovators reinventing how the world makes physical things. If you're ready to shape the future of fabrication, come build it with us.

Your Impact: 

Materials development presents one of the greatest opportunities to innovate in 3D printing, unlocking new applications in different industries such as engineering, consumer, manufacturing, automotive and healthcare. Our materials science team works closely with product management, hardware and software teams to develop new materials that push the boundaries of what can be done with 3D printing.

If you are a scientist or engineer with experience in polymer development who's excited to break new ground in an industry that's moving at lightning speed, we want you as a Materials Scientist - Photopolymer Development!

What You'll Do:

  • Design and optimize complex photopolymer formulations to push the boundaries of additive manufacturing.
  • Lead the end-to-end transition of new materials from lab scale concept to commercial launch, supporting technology transfer and scale-up.
  • Establish structure-process-property relationships through rigorous experimentation and analytical characterization to meet demanding product specifications.
  • Learn about the 3D printing process and underlying hardware, and use that knowledge to inform formulation decisions and provide input to future hardware decisions.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product management, hardware, and software teams to develop products that meet customer needs and work seamlessly on the Form 4 platform.

About You:

  • BS, MS, or PhD in polymer science, chemical engineering, chemistry, materials science or a related field.
  • Results-oriented and motivated by delivering products in a fast-paced R&D environment.
  • Experience developing thermoset materials including epoxies, urethanes, or acrylates.
  • Enjoys working hands-on in the lab conducting experiments and analyzing large data sets to drive decision making.
  • Able to work autonomously and push projects forward with a high level of independence. 
  • Track record of success including publication, IP generation, or product commercialization.
  • Practices good documentation and can organize complex data, create SOPs, and write clear, detailed internal reports.

Bonus Skills:

  • Familiarity with additive manufacturing technologies
  • Programming and digital analysis (Python, JMP, MATLAB, Minitab etc)
  • Experience with high performance polymers, composites, or elastomers

Our Perks:

  • Robust equity program to build future wealth through RSUs
  • Comprehensive healthcare coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)
  • 401K matching and access to financial advisors
  • Generous paid Parental Leave (up to 16 weeks)
  • Tenure-based paid Sabbatical Leave (up to 6 weeks)
  • Flexible Out of Office Plan - Take time when you need it
  • Ample on-site parking & pre-tax commuter benefits
  • Healthy on-site lunches, snacks, beverages, & treats
  • Regular sponsored professional development opportunities
  • Many opt-in culture events across our diverse community
  • And of course... unlimited 3D prints

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

Even if you don't check every box, but see yourself contributing, please apply. Help us build an inclusive community that will change the face of 3D printing.
