Researcher, CTO Team

Description

About Magnus Metal

Magnus Metal is modernizing metal casting through its digitally driven, highly automated manufacturing platform — Digital Casting™.

We are transforming conventional foundry processes into a controlled, data-centric, scalable industrial system — connecting digital design directly to production (CAD-to-part). Our technology enables unique metallurgy, high repeatability, AI-driven process control, and a pathway toward distributed production and digital inventory.

We operate at the intersection of materials science, automation, and industrial-scale system engineering — serving heavy industries including automotive tooling, construction equipment, mobility, and defense

Duties and Responsibilities

About the Role

We are looking for a Researcher to join the CTO team, focusing on process study and phenomenon research to drive innovation for Magnus Metal’s current and future products.

This role is centered on deep investigation of process phenomena — connecting materials science, process parameters, and system behavior into insights that shape our technology roadmap. You will serve as a key interface with the Engineering, Process, and Application groups.

We are looking for a curious, detail-oriented person who loves to investigate phenomena deeply, while remaining pragmatic and goal-driven. Someone who believes every challenge has a solution — you just need to know where to look and not be afraid to dig in.
