Materials Science Jobs

CuspAI · London

Designs and builds agentic frameworks that orchestrate closed-loop scientific workflows, connecting agents to ML models, simulation engines and databases. Applies Bayesian optimization and active learning for experimental design, and builds evaluations for agent planning and decision-making. Works closely with chemists and materials scientists on customer projects.

CuspAI · Cambridge

Owns scientific delivery of partner projects from scoping to results, acting as a key technical contact alongside programme managers. Applies simulation, machine learning, data-driven optimisation or experiments to design and steer discovery campaigns, and translates between experimental, computational and ML teams. Also builds cross-cutting capabilities such as validated workflows, harmonised data pipelines and agentic design campaigns.

PhysicsX · New York, United States · US$150,000 – US$190,000 pa

Builds and deploys machine learning pipelines for industrial physics applications, working directly with customers on-site to embed AI models into practical tools. Involves manipulating 3D point-cloud and mesh data, cloud analytics environments, and translating R&D outputs into reusable libraries and products. Travels to customer sites roughly 3-4 weeks per quarter.

PhysicsX · New York, United States · US$200,000 – US$300,000 pa

Partners with engineering teams to embed security into CI/CD pipelines, lead threat modeling and secure design reviews for web apps, APIs and cloud services, and manage the product vulnerability lifecycle. Requires deep DevSecOps and application security expertise, with hands-on Python and Go development and SAST tooling.

Johnson Matthey · Royston · £45,613 – £55,130 pa

Shift-based mechanical maintenance role on a top-tier COMAH site, covering planned and reactive work on pumps, seals, valves, vessels, agitators and pipework. Involves fault finding, fabrication, installation and commissioning, working with LOTO and permit systems on high-hazard chemical plant.

Johnson Matthey · Stockton-on-Tees

Operate and improve Product Stewardship systems such as WERCS Studio, resolving data integrity and flow issues across source systems and integrations. Apply chemical knowledge to validate regulatory, hazard and product data, working with master data owners and IT teams, and acting as the main interface with the WERCS vendor.

Airbus · Bristol

Performing, interpreting and reporting non-destructive testing inspections (ultrasonic, radiography, magnetic particle, dye penetrant) on manufactured and in-service metallic and composite components, including customer site visits. The role also involves documenting results, acting as customer point of contact, maintaining NDT experience records and acquiring new qualifications, with training provided.

Airbus · Bristol

Operates Electroimpact 5-axis CNC wing drilling equipment at the Airbus Filton plant, executing high-precision drilling, countersinking and temporary bolt insertion on A400M wing boxes. Involves multi-display HMI program control, sensor calibration with Renishaw probes and optical cameras, tool changes, and aerospace quality documentation under strict EHS rules.

PhysicsX · Singapore

Build physical foundation models for industrial engineering, scaling training to large datasets on multi-GPU cloud compute. Turn research prototypes into robust, optimised implementations, own research workstreams, and translate results into reusable libraries and tooling alongside scientists and customers.
