## 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.

## About Arcturus

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Infusing carbon nanomaterials into metals to create a new class of electrical conductors that break past the limits of conductivity and strength at high temperatures.
- **Entity Type**: Private (no public funding rounds disclosed; received a 1517 Flux Capacitor Fellowship in 2024)
- **Headquarters**: Los Angeles, California, USA
- **Founded**: 2005 (per Built In)
- **Founders**: Amir Mashal (Founder & CEO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Advanced materials / manufacturing – specifically electrical conductor technology for energy transmission, electric vehicles, drones, robotics, data centers, and grid infrastructure.
- **Target customers**: B2B / enterprise – utilities, aerospace, automotive, and industrial hardware companies.
- **Mission or purpose**: Reinvent the conductor to modernize the energy grid, lower electrification costs, and enable next‑generation electric motors.

## Products & Services
- **Carbon Nanomaterial‑Infused Metal Conductors**: A proprietary technology stack that embeds carbon nanomaterials into metals to maintain high conductivity at extreme temperatures, enabling lighter, stronger, and more efficient wires for power transmission, motors, and high‑performance electronics.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available
- **Key Metric**: 31 total employees (Built In); 9 open job postings as of June 2026 (JobPin)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: 1517 Fund (awarded the Flux Capacitor Fellowship in June 2024)
- **Growth Signals**: Actively scaling the engineering team (8–9 roles in research, process engineering, operations); hybrid/remote options; expanding from laboratory prototype toward industrial‑level production.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Proprietary carbon nanomaterial‑metal infusion** – a difficult‑to‑replicate materials‑science breakthrough that addresses the fundamental limits of traditional copper and aluminum conductors at high temperatures.
- **Integrated approach** solving materials chemistry, manufacturing scale‑up, and product design simultaneously, creating a moat around both the know‑how and the process.

## Strategic Focus
- **Industrial scale‑up**: Proving the manufacturing process at industrial volume while maintaining material properties.
- **Market entry**: Targeting the most demanding segments first – grid transmission, electric aviation, robotics, and high‑performance data center power delivery.

## Why Work Here
- 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.”
