Role details
Job description
Purpose
Not every exceptional hire fits neatly into a job req.
Sometimes the person we need is the one who looks at an impossible problem, finds the hidden power source, and starts solving before anyone has written the plan. If you have a little Dr. Rodney McKay energy, deep technical range, high output, and enough humility to work well on a small team, we’d love to hear from you. Just don’t blow up 3/4 of a solar system (well, 5/6, it’s not an exact science).
Arcturus is building a first-of-its-kind materials company at the intersection of carbon nanomaterials, metals, advanced manufacturing, and electrification. We’re always on the lookout for exceptional people who can help us move faster, think deeper, build better systems, or solve problems we haven’t even written down yet.
If none of our open roles quite describe you, tell us what does. Tell us what you would build, own, improve, or invent here, and why you’d be excited to do it at Arcturus.
We make exceptions for exceptional people.
Why work at Arcturus
- Hands‑on, garage‑style engineering culture focused on solving one of the hardest problems in materials science.
- Hybrid work model (combination of remote and on‑site) with offices in Los Angeles and additional locations per Built In.
- Opportunity to be a founding‑stage engineer in a company that has already demonstrated proof of concept and is now scaling toward production.
- Strong emphasis on autonomy and impact: “If you’re an engineer reading this and that didn’t slow you down, we want to meet you.”
