Voxel8 is pioneering the field of multi-material additive manufacturing. In the past, additive manufacturing has been limited by the types of materials that can be used to create objects, and most platforms have focused on the printing of single material parts. Voxel8’s technologies enable the fabrication of composite engineering-grade functional parts.

Voxel8 was spun-out of Jennifer Lewis’ labs at Harvard University in 2014, raised a $12m series A in 2015, and launched the world’s first 3D electronics printed in 2016. The company is now aggressively expanding its technology portfolio to enable the co-printing of a broad array of materials for production-quality parts.

We are looking for passionate, truth-seeking individuals who are audacious in their vision of what can be accomplished by technology start-ups. We are driven by the desire to have impact, and value the ability to “get it done” and a sense of urgency.

Job Title: Senior Nanomaterials Development Scientist, 3D Printing of Electronics

Location: Somerville, MA

The Job:

• Leading a materials development project focused on developing and manufacturing new functional electronic nanomaterials for use with our printer

• Working with our interdisciplinary team to insure compatibility with our new structural insulators in both cure profile and interfacial chemistry

• Formulating the baseline ink into an ideal 3D printing material by characterizing and tuning the rheological properties

• Scaling up fabrication and validating the shelf life and properties

Preferred Skills:

• An experienced engineer with at least 6 years of industry experience and at least an M.S. (preferably PhD) related to nanoparticle fabrication, stabilization, and scale-up

• Capable of independently managing your own project while being part of a team

• Extensive experience and knowledge in the fabricating extremely concentrated suspensions of custom nanoparticles. (Especially silver and copper)

• Knowledge of rheological characterization and how to tune rheological properties such as viscosity, yield stress, and recovery time

• Extensive experience with stabilizing nanoparticle suspensions and characterizing stability

• Experience with scale-up, shelf life testing, and quality control

• In depth understanding of surface interactions and interfacial chemistry to trouble shoot problems with inter-material compatibility and sintering

• Has formulated a sinter-able conductive ink in the past
