Who does Magma Global hire? 

Magma is driven by innovation, New Product Development and the continual testing required to refine complex, proprietary technologies and bring them to market. It hires degree-to-PhD-level engineers, material specialists for R&D work, data analysts, FEA specialists, test and a number of support and management roles. While PhD candidates are welcome, the focus is on applied rather than academic research.

Candidates for Magma roles may come from aerospace, automotive, renewables or any environment that requires or develops expertise in composite products. Sometimes, Portuguese language skills are an advantage for specific roles, with Brazil a significant market.

Cross-departmental interaction is essential to Magma's success, particularly between the R&D, industrialisation, test, quality, electrical control and manufacturing teams. As such, it's possible for staff to move between teams and the environment is one where enjoyably collaborative working comes naturally.

Innovation is also critical to Magma's success: so innovative are its products that the company had to design its own production equipment and process in order to manufacture them.

Magma's diverse team works within a welcoming, inclusive, respectful culture where continuous professional development is cherished and tailored to the individual. The team has a lot of fun, with group activities that make the most of its harborside location and proximity to the South Downs, such as lunchtime paddleboarding sessions and occasional cycling events.
