About this role
Until is a moonshot company building a pause button for biology. This will unlock medical hibernation, deep space exploration, and fundamentally change humanity's relationship with the future. We’re building an elite team of applied physicists, engineers, and materials scientists.
Projects require a high degree of autonomy and breadth of skill across electrical, mechanical, and materials design. Emphasis is placed on first principles thinking for true full stack engineering from electrons to operating systems. Role involves polymer synthesis and phase change materials expertise.
Join an elite team excited to build the future with strong scientific fundamentals in physics, chemistry, biology, or materials. Demonstrate exceptional ability and autonomy in past work. Collaborate on innovative projects blending multiple disciplines.
Early team members gain outsized impact creating the future. Enjoy generous benefits including medical, dental, vision coverage, flexible time off, and subsidized lunch. Competitive compensation includes salary and equity for high performers.
Requirements
- Strong fundamentals in a scientific discipline (physics, chemistry, biology, materials)
- Experience with phase change materials and/or polymer synthesis
- Demonstrations of exceptional ability and autonomy in past work
- 3+ years experience or graduate level in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or equivalent
- Experience with fluorinated fluids and polymers
- Excited to build the future through innovative materials science
Responsibilities
- Develop phase change materials for biological pause applications
- Synthesize and optimize polymers for advanced engineering systems
- Design materials integrating electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties
