Position descriptions for our Concord, NH facility:

For all positions US
citizenship is an absolute must.

Electrical Engineer.
The candidate must have either a B.S. or M.S. in
Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of experience. The applicant is
expected to become a key team member in the development of innovative
electrical products for government, military and commercial markets
working in Nanocomp's fast-paced R&D environment. Primary
responsibilities will be identifying, constructing, and testing new
applications utilizing Nanocomp’s carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets and yarns
conductors as well as lab and project management. Knowledge of
aircraft wiring standards will be helpful. This is a hands-on position.
Project management responsibilities will include direction
of a project team, coordination of external resources, ensuring that
project goals are achieved on schedule, and reporting and documentation
are complete.

Excellent organization skills, attention to
detail and both written and oral communication skills are required. Some
proposal writing experience is desired but not mandatory. The applicant
will report directly to the CTO. U. S.
Citizenship is mandatory.

Composites Scientist.
The candidate must have a M.S. or Ph.D.
in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or
related field. Significant experience in the fabrication and property
measurements of advanced composite materials is required. This is an
R&D position. We expect the candidate to lead a team dealing with
the basic science of CNT composites utilizing Nanocomp sheet material,
be familiar with industrial prepregging technologies, have deep
understand of structural property relations in composite materials, and
have experience with a wide variety of resins including toughened
epoxies, polyurethanes, cyanate esters, PEEK and others. Excellent
organizational skills, with an attention to detail, and written and oral
communication skills are vital. Proposal writing experience is also
essential. The applicant will report directly to the CTO. U. S. Citizenship is mandatory.  

Thermoelectric Scientist.

The candidate must have a degree in
Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering or a related
field and have at least 5 years experience in the area of

position that is very hands-on. The candidate will help develop CNT
thermoelectric materials and devices as part of an existing
thermoelectric effort. The successful candidate will work in a
laboratory setting, primarily engaged in: material characterization,
particularly of thermal and electrical properties, chemical treatment of
materials, assembly of materials into a multistage device, and
performance evaluations of the thermoelectric properties of these
devices. This individual reports to the project leader who in turn
reports to the CTO. Excellent organizational skills, with an attention
to detail, and written and oral communication skills are vital. U. S. Citizenship is mandatory.

Application Engineer.

The candidate must have a technical
