Job description

**Job Description**

What's it like to work for a company that manufactures the world's greatest combat vehicles? Gratifying! You'll join a company truly devoted to your growth as you enjoy a special camaraderie on a team devoted to protecting what really matters.

BAE Systems is seeking a Materials and Process Engineer. Our ideal candidate is a college graduate in Materials Engineer or Metallurgy with a few years experience, but we would consider a recent college grad or someone without a college degree but with additional years of experience. This position is an on-site role working a 9/80 schedule with every other Friday off. You will work closely with production, use a microscope to inspect parts, and write and present reports to the customer.

As a Materials and Process Engineer, you will:

+ Work in a team environment along with other technical disciplines to identify and specify the appropriate materials, processes and coatings for metallic materials used on Weapon Systems and Combat Vehicles.

+ Located in the production facility, you will primarily work with development of new systems and support of Legacy systems.

+ Work with other engineering disciplines to review design drawings and ensure that appropriate materials, coatings, processes, and corrosion protection coatings are specified.

+ Select the appropriate materials considering cost, availability, producibility, and other factors that may impact the manufacturability of the component or system.

+ Apply principles of chemistry, physics and material behavior to develop metallic materials and coating process specifications, and fabrication and joining processes that will meet the mechanical load and life cycle requirements of the system.

+ Apply material property design allowable and specification requirements to the stress analysis of system components.

+ Work with the metallurgical laboratory technicians to perform failure analyses of parts returned from testing or the field using metallurgical techniques such as macroscopic examination, documentation, metallographic techniques, scanning electron microscopy and mechanical testing determine the root cause of failure.

+ Support our production facilities with root cause investigations, vendor support, and first article inspection.

**Required Education, Experience, & Skills**

+ Bachelor's Degree in Material Science, Metallurgical Engineering, or similar degree with 2 years Metallurgical / Materials Testing Experience. We may consider additional experience in lieu of degree.

+ Knowledge of and demonstrated experience with both ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy.

+ Proficiency with Microsoft Office products.

+ Good oral and written English communication skills as you will be writing and presenting reports internally and to the customer.

+ Ability to develop and maintain effective relationships with customers to solve technical problems.

+ May consider candidates with fewer years for a more junior role or more experience for a more senior role.

**Preferred Education, Experience, & Skills**

+ Bachelor's Degree in Material Science, Metallurgical Engineering, or similar degree with relevant experience.

+ Experience in heavy industry or military hardware, large scale forgings and weldment, Gear materials and processing (heat treatment), and fatigue and fracture toughness.

+ Experience in a materials lab including but not limited to:

+ Metallographic Sample preparation and analysis

+ Fractography/Failure analysis

+ Hardness/Microhardness testing

+ Scanning Electron Microscopy

+ Optical Microscopy

+ Mechanical testing including fatigue, fracture toughness, and tensile/compression testing

+ Materials selection experience in developing complex systems

+ Experience writing material and process specifications

+ Technical report writing and oral presentation skills

+ Heat treatment processes

+ Knowledge of material manufacturing and forming processes including castings, forgings, additive, and subtractive machining

+ Knowledge of corrosion mechanisms and application of corrosion protection\#LI-Onsite #LI-JR1
