A Graphene job typically refers to roles related to the research, development, and application of graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms with exceptional electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties. Jobs in this field can be found in industries such as electronics, energy, aerospace, and materials science. Common positions include graphene researchers, material scientists, process engineers, and product developers. These professionals work on enhancing graphene production methods, integrating it into new technologies, and exploring its commercial applications.
Professionals in graphene research often encounter challenges related to the reproducibility and scalability of graphene production, as well as the integration of graphene into practical applications. Maintaining high-quality standards in the synthesis and characterization process can be demanding, given the material’s sensitivity to environmental factors. Additionally, collaborating across interdisciplinary teams and staying updated with rapid advancements in the field requires ongoing learning. However, overcoming these challenges can lead to significant scientific breakthroughs and career advancement opportunities in both academic and commercial settings.
To thrive in a Graphene Research Scientist role, you need a solid background in materials science, physics, or chemistry, often supported by a graduate degree and hands-on laboratory experience. Familiarity with advanced characterization techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and fabrication equipment is crucial, as well as proficiency in data analysis software. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective collaboration are highly valued soft skills in this field. These competencies are essential for advancing research, ensuring experimental accuracy, and driving innovation in graphene technology development.

Lead Nanomaterials Engineer
Los Angeles, CA (in-person)
About Arcturus
Arcturus is creating a new wire technology stack that uses carbon nanomaterials to overcome the materials limitations of metals where performance breaks down, at real operating temperatures. Our technology is designed to significantly improve the performance of electric motors for drones and robotics, heat sinks, and ultimately the entire energy grid. At its core, Arcturus is developing a new class of carbon nanomaterial-infused metal matrix composites for high-performance conductor applications.
Why you should join us
This is a ground-floor opportunity to help build something that has never been done before.
You would join as a founding engineer and become Arcturus’ first nanomaterials engineer, with the chance to define the company’s carbon nanomaterials strategy from the beginning. As the founding nanomaterials engineer, you will work directly with the founder and CEO to shape the technical direction of the company, translate scientific insight into real product performance, and help build a category-defining materials platform from scratch.
Purpose
We are seeking a lead nanomaterials engineer who can set the technical direction for our carbon nanomaterials strategy and translate fundamental science into measurable, scalable improvements in conductor performance. This person will help define how carbon nanomaterials are integrated into metal matrix composites, including approaches related to covetics and other carbon-metal interface architectures, to unlock meaningful improvements in electrical, thermal, and mechanical performance.
The role
This role reports directly to the CEOMaterials strategy and integration
Own the nanomaterials roadmap R&D, including carbon nanomaterial selection, orientation morphology, purity, infusion percentages, functionalizations, etc.
Define integration approaches into aluminum and copper that improve electrical performance through process technology
Lead dispersion and interface engineering strategy, including verification methods and technical decision gates
Characterization and scientific rigor
Build the characterization stack that links structure to performance, including Raman, SEM/EDS, and other methods as needed
Define metrics for dispersion quality, interface integrity, and degradation, then standardize how those measurements are made
Partner with engineering to translate scientific results into material specs, process windows, and acceptance criteria
Reliability and durability
Own hypotheses and experiments for long-term stability, including thermal cycling, corrosion, oxidation, environmental exposure, and processing effects
Define accelerated aging and failure mode discovery plans aligned with real-world use cases
Leadership and driving IP disclosures. Help shape patent strategy
Help build and lead a small but world-class scientific team over time
Basic qualifications
PhD or MS in materials science, chemistry, chemical engineering, physics, or a related field
8+ years of applied research leadership with demonstrated impact on products, processes, or commercialization
Deep expertise in carbon nanomaterials and strong intuition for process-structure-property relationships
Strong scientific writing skills, including clear technical documentation, experimental plans, and invention disclosures
Preferred qualifications
Experience with carbon nanomaterial-metal composites, metal matrix composites, covetics, or carbon/metal interface chemistry
Familiarity with graphene, carbon nanotubes, graphene growth methods, including localized or laser-inducted graphene
Startup experience
What we offer
Competitive cash compensation and meaningful equity
Scientific ownership with direct product impact
The chance to define the playbook for nanomaterial-enhanced conductors
Relocation support for candidates moving from outside the Los Angeles area
