New York, New York, United States Oxman Full time
OXMAN is a Design and R&D company that fuses design, technology, and biology to invent multi-scale products and environments. The fusion of disciplines within our work opens previously impossible opportunities within each domain—allowing design to inspire science and science to inspire design. At OXMAN, we question dominant modes of design that have divorced us from Nature by prioritizing humanity above all else (human-centric design). Although it is design that has caused this rift, we believe that design also offers the greatest opportunity to heal it. We propose a Nature-centric approach that delivers design solutions by, for, and with the natural world, while advancing humanity. In this pursuit, we reject all forms of segregation and instead call for a radical synergy between human-made and Nature-grown environments. This approach demands that we design across scales for systems-level impact. We consider every designed construct a whole system of heterogeneous and complex interrelations—not isolated objects—that are intrinsically connected to their environments. In doing so, we open ourselves up to moving beyond mere maintenance toward the advancement of Nature.
OXMAN is seeking a Materials Engineer to join an all-star interdisciplinary team of deep thinkers and brilliant makers. This Materials Engineer will play a central role in refining performance, materiality, and functionality at the intersection of design, biology, and technology. This role demands a hands-on maker comfortable in uncharted territories — someone thrilled to integrate material science and additive manufacturing into their creative process. Working in close collaboration with engineers, scientists, and designers, the Material Engineer will help develop products that act as an extension of life itself — designed to be used, to evolve, and ultimately to return to nature.
This is a temporary position with the possibility to become permanent. Core Responsibilities
  • Optimization of extrusion protocols for biothermoplastics used in 3D printing, including PHA.
  • Work with external material compounders and conduct in-house compounding of various materials, additives and pigments.

  • Conduct quality control through implementation of materials and finished products according to ISO standards.
  • Work with the wider Oxman team to produce the required materials to achieve broader project goals.
  • Keep detailed records of all processing conditions.
  • Remain informed of recent biomaterial innovations in both commercial and academic spheres.
Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience in thermoplastic processing.
  • Extensive experience in a wide range of polymer processing techniques.
  • Experience with a range of biomaterials, including bioplastics such as PHA.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment.
  • Excellent project management skills, independence, self-motivation, organizational skills, and attention to detail.
  • Strong commitment to the team; maintains positive working relationships with diverse people, including internal team and external partners.
  • Embodies ethics and integrity in all work, respecting both company and broader community policies in all conduct.
