Company Overview:
MP Materials (NYSE: MP) is rebuilding American industrial capability for a new era of autonomy, robotics, and electrification.
We are the only U.S. company with a fully integrated rare earth supply chain—from mining and refining to advanced metal and magnet manufacturing. Our products include both the critical materials used to make permanent magnets and the finished magnets themselves—enabling next-generation technologies in robotics, automation, aerospace, transportation, defense, and energy systems. These materials are the foundation of physical AI—the convergence of computation, movement, and control.
We hire ambitious, mission-driven people who want to tackle complex challenges and shape the future of strategic industries. Our culture is rooted in teamwork, resiliency, and integrity, with a deep commitment to operational excellence and national purpose. MP is rapidly evolving from a materials producer into a leading U.S. manufacturer—and our people are driving that transformation.
Position Overview:
MP Materials is seeking an Engineer to join the Magnet Technology group to support development technologies for advanced manufacturing to produce high-performance rare earth permanent magnets. In this role, the Engineer will conduct hands-on experiments to optimize the materials and processing of magnets, including casting, powder processing, pressing, sintering, recycling, and more. Responsibilities include designing custom experimental setups, running experimental campaigns on pilot-scale equipment, and materials characterization using techniques such as magnetometry, microscopy, and chemical analysis. The Engineer will work with process and product development engineers and technicians to deliver new, scalable technologies for manufacturing rare earth permanent magnets. This is a rare opportunity to play a key role in returning an essential manufacturing capability to the USA.
Position Responsibilities:
- Design and conduct experiments to optimize new materials and processes for rare earth permanent magnets.
- Leverage materials characterization techniques including SEM, XRD, LECO, etc. to fundamentally understand the underlying mechanisms of magnetic properties.
- Collaborate with process and product development teams to leverage pilot equipment and scale new technologies.
- Work closely with EHS to ensure that all work is done to ensure world-class health and safety, and full compliance with relevant environmental regulations.
- Engage external institutions including university researchers, strategic partners, and government laboratories to add value from new technologies and applied research.
- Represent MP Materials within the industry by publishing in technical and trade journals and presenting at conferences.
- Other duties as assigned
Basic Qualifications:
- M.S. or Ph.D. in Materials Science & Engineering, Metallurgy, Physics, or related field.
- Experience with metallurgical manufacturing processes and materials characterization methods.
- Deep understanding of materials, thermodynamics, and kinetics.
- Agile researcher, adept at identifying untested questions about materials and the interactions between processing, structure, and performance.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Desired Qualities:
- Experience with manufacturing of rare earth materials and permanent magnets.
- Ability to prioritize and manage multiple concurrent technical projects.
- Strong skills in analyzing experimental data using tools such as Python, MATLAB, or statistical software to draw actionable insights and guide decision-making.
- Lifelong learner able and enthusiastic to apply existing skills and experiences to new problems.
