Job details

Experience: 5+ years of professional experience in polymeric material formulation, chemical synthesis, polymer chemistry or a non-metallic materials engineering role
Posting language: English
Posted: Nov 13, 2026

Original job description

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

SR. MATERIALS ENGINEER, POLYMER DEVELOPMENT

The Polymer Development Materials Engineer will participate in/lead the end-to-end development of advanced polymeric materials. In this role you will develop new material solutions such as adhesives, sealants, paints, coatings, thermal protection materials, and emulsions for use across SpaceX’s hardware programs. You will partner closely with customers to define design criteria and performance requirements, drive formulation and process development, coordinate testing with materials laboratories, collaborate with engineering teams on implementation, and work with production teams to successfully scale materials into manufacturing. This position requires strong technical ownership, cross-functional collaboration, and the ability to deliver high-performance materials that meet demanding programmatic needs.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Partner with engineers to define material requirements, translate design criteria into technical targets, and provide clear progress updates
Own technical decision-making throughout the development process, selecting and refining pathways that deliver materials meeting or exceeding design requirements
Investigate and resolve material failures or unexpected results, turning issues into actionable learnings that accelerate project progress
Act as a technical expert and project owner for polymeric material development efforts
Guide and mentor project specialists and technicians in executing formulation, testing, and process development work
Collaborate closely with engineering and production teams to ensure new materials are successfully integrated into production work centers
Lead the iterative development cycle by designing efficient experiments, analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and defining the next set of actions
Drive materials development projects from initial concept through full qualification and production scale-up
Coordinate with materials laboratories to plan, prioritize, and interpret characterization and performance testing
Work with production and manufacturing teams to support process scale-up, improve manufacturability, and enable reliable high-volume production
Maintain thorough technical documentation of development decisions, test results, and qualification data

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Polymer Science, Materials Science and Engineering
5+ years of professional experience in polymeric material formulation, chemical synthesis, polymer chemistry or a non-metallic materials engineering role

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Master’s degree or PhD in Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Polymer Science, Materials Science and Engineering or a related discipline
Deep understanding of organic and polymer chemistries
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent projects with clear schedules and deliverables
Strong engineering judgment and self-motivation with a track record of driving projects independently
Experience in R&D pertaining to non-metallic materials (adhesives, paints, coatings, seals, emulsions, etc)
Experience designing polymeric materials, manufacturing polymeric materials, and/or translating developed materials to production.
Demonstrated ability to perform root cause analysis on test data, equipment issues, or process deviations
Experience mentoring lab technicians or specialists
Hands-on experience with analytical equipment such as FTIR, TGA, DSC, DMA, TMA, TPS, NMR, UV-Vis, GPC, GC, MS or similar

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

Pay Range:

Level 3: $135,000.00 - $215,000.00

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.

Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package at SpaceX. You may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of company stock or long-term cash awards, as well as potential discretionary bonuses and the ability to purchase additional stock at a discount through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You will also receive access to comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, paid parental leave, and various other discounts and perks. You may also accrue 3 weeks of paid vacation and will be eligible for 10 or more paid holidays per year. Employees accrue paid sick leave pursuant to Company policy which satisfies or exceeds the accrual, carryover, and use requirements of the law.

ITAR REQUIREMENTS:

To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful, permanent resident (aka green card holder), (iii) Refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) Asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
