We are looking for an exceptional theoretical materials scientist to join ExoMatter as a Research Scientist. In this role you will be researching methods for the calculation of materials properties and modelling of inorganic systems to further develop our Materials R&D platform.
Become part of a young deep tech and software startup based in Munich and revolutionize materials development with us. ExoMatter is a spinoff of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and part of the UnternehmerTUM family of startups. We have a first product on the market with paying customers like Airbus and BSH and a strong upward trajectory.
Why are we doing this
Our mission is to challenge the status quo of materials development to reduce the worldwide ecological footprint and increase the innovation speed.
We need you to succeed!
Do you think along these lines
- If you are equally convinced that only with more efficient materials can we tackle the climate crisis
- You are a maker and want to turn visions into reality. See your impact directly!
You love working in a dynamic team : trusting exchanging feedback and taking responsibility is most crucial.
