Vertically integrated rare earth mining, processing, and magnet manufacturing
MP Materials operates the second-largest rare earth mine globally and manufactures permanent magnets domestically, controlling the supply chain from extraction through advanced metallization. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward industrial operations—SCADA, PLC, DCS, Rockwell Automation, and SAP—reflecting a capital-intensive manufacturing business. Engineering and manufacturing hiring dominate (97 of 156 roles), with active projects centered on greenfield facility buildout and process optimization, signaling rapid capacity expansion tied to their partnership with the U.S. Department of War.
MP Materials is a publicly traded rare earth producer and magnet manufacturer headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, founded in 2017. The company operates the Mountain Pass mine in California—one of the world's richest rare earth deposits—and manufactures permanent magnets at its Independence facility in Texas. MP Materials serves aerospace, defense, automotive, and consumer electronics customers, including Apple and General Motors. The company is executing a major scaling initiative: construction of a second magnet facility (10X) alongside a public-private partnership with the U.S. Department of War to build domestic supply chain capacity and reduce reliance on foreign sources.
MP Materials uses industrial control systems (SCADA, PLC, DCS, Rockwell Automation, GE iFIX, Ignition), enterprise resource planning (SAP), lab analytics (LIMS, ICP-OES, ICP-AES, ICP-MS), project management (Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, Smartsheet), and standard productivity tools (Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Workday, ADP, BambooHR).
