Samson Rose
has partnered with a cutting-edge advanced manufacturing and robotics company to find a
Director of Materials & Processes
to lead their Materials Engineering team. This is a
high-impact leadership role
driving the innovation, qualification, and implementation of next-generation materials and processes across aerospace and automotive programs. You’ll define the materials roadmap, collaborate with engineering and government partners, and guide a team that’s transforming how complex hardware is designed and built. A little about them:
They’ve developed a fully integrated, AI-driven manufacturing system reshaping how vehicles and aerospace components are produced.
Their technology enables faster, more flexible, and more sustainable production at scale.
They are an established Tier 1 supplier for global OEMs and expanding into defense applications.
They operate a large, state-of-the-art facility in Torrance, CA.
The team is mission-driven, innovative, and highly collaborative.
The person they are looking for should have:
Bachelor’s degree in Materials Science or a related discipline.
7+ years of experience in a leadership role within materials engineering or a similar field.
Proven background applying material requirements and performing material qualification for aerospace or automotive designs.
Ability to lead and mentor a multidisciplinary team while setting priorities and achieving key milestones.
Experience managing materials specifications, requirements, and root cause investigations.
Knowledge of fracture control and nondestructive inspection methods for metal additive manufacturing.
Big pluses for:
PhD in Materials Science or a related field.
Deep expertise in mechanical behavior of materials, metallurgy, polymers, additive manufacturing, or nondestructive evaluation.
Experience with materials characterization techniques such as metallography, microscopy, and mechanical testing.
Experience introducing new materials, coatings, or adhesives into production environments.
Strong first-principles approach to root cause analysis and failure prevention.
Compensation & Benefits:
Competitive salary, equity plan, and results-based bonuses.
Comprehensive health, wellness, and disability coverage (HMO and PPO options).
Paid vacation, holidays, and year-end shutdown.
Paid parental leave and family-friendly programs.
