Company info. Build big; build fast. Directly fabricating large components on-site minimizes transport and assembly labor, forever simplifying construction and supply chains. But realizing that future requires new materials that are strong, low-cost, and can be manufactured with unprecedented speed and reliability.
Fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRPs) have untapped potential for building big because unlike metals, their properties and processing are independent of each other. FRP processing can be hacked by innovations in resin chemistry.
Perseus, established 2022, is a start-up out of Stanford University that uses proprietary resin chemistry for on-site manufacturing of oversize high-performance FRPs for buildings, bridges, wind turbines, and other applications in infrastructure and energy. We work closely with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and have support from the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and ARPA-E.
You’ll play a key role in understanding and optimizing the behavior of advanced reactive resin systems. This includes modeling polymerization kinetics, supporting process development, and running hands-on trials to validate hypotheses and improve performance.
Responsibilities:
Analyze and model resin behavior using analytical and computational tools
Support the development and scale-up of novel thermosetting resin systems
Decide key performance indicators for process control and efficiency
Design and execute lab-scale and pilot-scale process trials; interpret experimental data to inform process improvements and material performance
Collaborate with materials scientists and mechanical engineers to integrate chemistry with manufacturing
Contribute to documentation, safety protocols, and process standardization
What We’re Looking For - Must-Haves:
Degree in Chemical Engineering or related field (B.S. required; M.S. or Ph.D. a plus)
Strong understanding of heat and mass transfer, fluids, and reactor design
Experience with modeling tools (e.g., MATLAB, Python, Aspen, or similar) for chemical processes
Hands-on experience in a lab or pilot-scale chemical processing environment
Nice-to-Haves:
Experience in a startup or R&D environment
Experience in chemical hazards and process safety
Familiarity with thermoset resin systems or composite manufacturing
Experience with calorimetry, rheology, or spectroscopy for polymer analysis
