Job description
Vast is looking for a Senior Polymer Chemist, reporting to the Non-Metallic Materials & Processes Lead, to support the development of the systems that will be required for the design and build of artificial-gravity human-rated space stations.Â
This role supports toxicity and contamination control for Haven-1, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for crew members in orbit.Â
This will be a full-time, exempt position located in our Long Beach location.Â
Responsibilities:Â
- Conduct research on advanced polymer materials-including composites, coatings, and elastomers- with a focus on chemical stability, thermal decomposition, and outgassing/off-gassing behavior under aerospace-relevant conditions
- Operate and maintain analytical instrumentation, including SIFT-MS, TGA, FTIR, and TGA-FTIR
- Calibrate, validate, and optimize performance of analytical instruments; ensure high reliability and data integrity
- Troubleshoot and resolve equipment issues; liaise with vendors, technical support, stakeholders as needed
- Develop, refine, and validate methods for evolved gas analysis (EGA) and real-time volatile detection, including off-gas testing protocols using SIFT-MS
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including materials, thermal, and systems engineers, to integrate findings into broader design and testing efforts
- Ensure compliance with internal quality standards, industry best practices, and regulatory requirements related to materials and chemical analysis
Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Polymer Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, or a related field
- 3+ years of industrial or research experience in polymer characterization and analytical method development
- Hands-on experience operating and maintaining TGA, FTIR, GC-MS, HPLC-MS, and SIFT-MS or CIMS instrumentation
- Strong foundation in thermal analysis and gas-phase chemical detection
Preferred Skills & Experience:
- Masters degree or PhD in Polymer Chemistry or Analytical Chemistry preferredÂ
- Expertise in SIFT-MS, TGA-FTIR, or TGA-MS data acquisition, method development, and result interpretation
- Advanced knowledge of polymer degradation mechanisms and desorption processes
- Experience validating analytical protocols and conducting method development for off-gassing and thermal stability testing
- Familiarity with NASA-STD-6001B for flammability, off-gassing, and material selection of non-metallic materials
- Familiarity with MAPTIS for material screening, evaluation, and compliance
- Strong data analysis skills, including statistical modeling and use of Design of Experiments (DoE)
- Exceptional problem-solving skills and attention to detail
- Proven ability to communicate complex technical findings clearly, both verbally and in writing
- Experience in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment, ideally in aerospace, defense, or other highly regulated industries
- Experience with identifying and investigating chemical ionization mechanisms (e.g., proton/electron transfer, adduct formation, dissociative electron transfer, hydride association) relevant to polymer off-gassing and degradation
Additional Requirements:
- Ability to travel up to 10% of the time
- Willingness to work evenings and/or weekends to support critical mission milestones
- Ability to lift up to 25 lbs unassisted
- Specific certifications, as appropriate
