Materials Engineer (Metals)

About The Role:

What You’ll Do:

• Plan and execute experiments with guidance appropriate to experience to understand processing–structure–property relationships across a range of materials, with a focus on metals and ceramics.
• Own assigned process development tasks and projects, troubleshoot issues, and contribute improvements to procedures and tool capabilities.
• Operate materials processing equipment for applications such as rolling, forming, alloy heat treatment, thin-film deposition, and bonding.
• Apply bulk and surface characterization techniques to evaluate materials and monitor process outputs.
• Help evaluate incoming materials through supplier documentation review and in-house testing, and contribute to refining material specifications.
• Collaborate with engineers, technicians, and operators to develop processes and transfer materials, procedures, and supporting documentation into fabrication workflows.
• Follow established processing and safety protocols, analyze experimental data, document procedures, maintain accurate records, and communicate key findings.

What You’ll Need:

• Bachelor’s degree in Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related field, with 2–3 years of relevant experience, including research or internships.
• Working knowledge of physical metallurgy and processing–structure–property relationships in metals and alloys.
• Hands-on experience processing or characterizing metals, alloys, or coatings.
• Experience with one or more materials characterization techniques (e.g., metallography, SEM, EDS, EBSD, XRF, XRD) or material property tests (e.g., tensile, hardness, fatigue, micro- or nanoindentation).
• Ability to plan systematic experiments, interpret results critically, and communicate findings clearly.
