We’re looking for an Additive Materials and Process Engineer who is energized by innovation, motivated by complex technical challenges, and excited to help shape the future of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L PBF) across Emerson’s global businesses.
As part of this global team, you’ll lead the development of new material and process capabilities, as well as provide technical guidance in the field of metallurgical engineering, and input into equipment selection and processing changes as the program matures and increases in scale.

In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:

Develop roadmap for taking new materials into production.
Lead parameter development for new or existing materials to ensure required mechanical properties, microstructure, composition, and density.
Develop and maintain internal standards related to material property requirements.
Participate in and represent Emerson on codes & standards committees such as ASTM, ASME, API, and NACE as they relate to additive manufacturing.
Develop and test prototypes, working hands‑on in the Additive Technology Lab.
Support production with material non-conformance analysis and disposition.
Collaborate on printer efficiency, including gas flow effectiveness, machine settings and variables, and scanning strategies.
Support the global organization with failure analysis and supplier qualification.
Constant review for Additive Technology breakthroughs within the broad industry to ensure that the program is current on capabilities.
