Niron Magnetics is a venture-backed start-up developing the only known magnetic material with the potential to displace widely used rare earth permanent magnets. These rare earth permanent magnets are found in electric motors, generators, sensors, actuators, and a variety of everyday machines. Unfortunately, the mining and refining of these materials incur harsh social and environmental costs.
Niron Magnetics has developed a magnetic material that is free of critical materials (including rare earth elements), which eliminates the environmental damage caused by their use. Niron is comprised of a team of engineers and scientists with a desire to make a positive impact in our community.
Niron is seeking a Magnet R&D Engineer for its R&D and Pilot Production facility, located in Minneapolis, MN. This individual will be involved in many aspects of magnetic powder processing and fabricating magnets.
The R&D Engineer will be responsible for advancing the performance of FeN permanent magnets through improving the magnet fabrication processes, coatings and magnet-formulations. You will work closely with the R&D and analytical and engineering teams to design experiments, process materials in our R&D and pilot facilities, and characterize the resulting materials and magnets.
Interpretation of the results will result in a proposal to further improve the magnetic and quality performance. Part of the role will be hands-on processing of materials and experimentation in the laboratory and/or pilot facility. You will be involved in evaluating new processing tools and methods for magnet fabrication, and support the transfer of technology to pilot and production. At Niron we work in a fast-paced a very collaborative approach to work, so team-based mentality and agility is important. We are looking for someone who is passionate about creating new, world changing technology that enables Niron to build permanent magnets while also protecting the environment.
