Job Description

Scientist I-III/Senior/Lead - Polymer Formulation & Materials Characterization

About Thintronics

More Data. Faster.

Global data volume traffic has been growing exponentially. The onset of AI applications is expected to make this worse. New insulator technology that enables higher frequency data transmission at lower power consumption is required to scale AI infrastructure, starting with the data center fabric. By synthesizing expertise in bottom-up Molecular Design, Computational Mechanics, and Electrical Engineering, Thintronics is unifying and optimizing the high-speed interconnect insulator, from silicon-to-system, enabling the highest data rates at the lowest power.

Thintronics is a start-up company located in Alameda, CA. We are a team of chemists, materials scientists, and engineers shaping the future of data and devices. We offer an exciting start-up environment at the interface of R&D, machine learning-aided product design, manufacturing, and rapid market implementation.

Job Role – Who We Want

A Startup like Thintronics is not for everyone. We want a rare mindset, and someone who is obsessive about solving problems and thinks working long hours to find solutions is normal.

Thintronics is looking for a Scientist to contribute to our new product R&D efforts, including formulation and characterization of dielectric films. This position requires broad working knowledge of polymers/composites, organic chemistry, as well as physical and electrical/dielectric measurements. Roles and responsibilities may evolve based on the needs of our quickly growing company and your skillset/interests.

We are seeking entrepreneurial scientists because here – your impact matters. We want individuals who aren’t afraid of hard work and new challenges; possess a “can-do” attitude; and can work independently as well as collaboratively. If you are interested in developing paradigm-changing materials and working towards breakthrough innovations, then this is the place for you. Expertise in the characterization of polymers, resins, or thermoplastics is a plus. If you excel as both a “maker” and a “measurer,” even better.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Ph.D. in Materials Science, Polymer Science, Organic or Physical Chemistry, or related technical discipline, or M.S. plus 5–6 years of relevant industry experience
  • Must be able to move up to 25 pounds

Preferred Qualifications:

  • 1 or more years of relevant industry/start-up experience
  • Experience with polymer/composite formulation and/or thin film fabrication
  • Familiarity with statistical-based DOE formulation methods
  • Experience planning experiments and analyzing analytical results from methods including TGA, DMA, TMA, DSC, rheometry, viscometry, FTIR, SEM/optical microscopy, Instron/Zwick universal testing systems
  • Ability to lead projects or project work-streams, develop and test hypotheses, and solve complex problems with minimal direction
  • Deep understanding of structure property relationships; Ability to connect polymer/raw material properties/chemical-structure with formulation properties
  • Able to design experiments to assess the material property response of various individual variables that could be part of the formulation in a complex material system
  • Rigorous attention to detail with experimental design, execution, and recordkeeping
  • Strong analytical, organizational, teamwork, and time management skills
  • Able to juggle multiple tasks efficiently
  • Preference will go to local candidates in the Bay Area

Level of Scientist (I, II, III, Senior, Lead etc.) will depend on overall qualifications and years of experience.

Compensation/Benefits

  • Competitive Bay Area salary ($110,000-$160,000)
  • 100% employee coverage for Health/Vision/Dental Insurance
  • Equity/Stock Options

We are willing to support the right candidate for H1B, O1 or another visa if necessary for this role.
