Permanent Magnet Scientist

What To Expect:

As a Permanent Magnet Scientist in our team, you will focus on the R&D of both low and high-performance permanent magnets. Your work will span the full magnet lifecycle, from alloy design and powder production through compaction, sintering, heat treatment, and magnetic characterization.

This role requires deep understanding of metallurgy, rare-earth magnet processing, and structure-property performance relationships, with an emphasis on translating laboratory development into robust, scalable manufacturing processes.

What You'll Do:

Document the current state-of-the-art technologies.Couple magnet technologies with their corresponding magnetic properties.Develop R&D roadmaps for next-generation materials.Document the available development methods of permanent magnets, from alloy selection and powder production to compaction, sintering, and post-sinter heat treatments. Perform root cause analysis of magnetic, mechanical, or processing failures using data-driven and metallurgical approaches. Author and maintain standard operating procedures, manufacturing instructions, and training documentation for material processes.

What You'll Bring:

Bachelor’s degree in Materials Science, Metallurgy, Ceramics, Physics, or a related field. Experience in rare-earth magnet processing, powder metallurgy, or closely related materials systems. Hands-on experience on: Rare -earth alloy processing, Powder preparation and milling, Magnetic field alignment and compaction, Sintering and post-sinter heat treatments Strong understanding of microstructure–magnetic property relationships in magnetic materials. Familiarity with thermal processing systems (vacuum furnaces, sintering furnaces), inert-atmosphere powder handling, and magnet fabrication equipment. Experience with magnetic characterization techniques (e.g., hysteresis loops, flux measurements) is highly desirable. Demonstrated ability to solve complex material and process challenges using structured, data-driven methods. Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience working with engineering, quality, and production teams.
