Job description

Proven to Perform.
From the edges of space to the bottoms of ocean, our materials are proven to perform -- and so is our team. We thrive when the expectations are great, and the barriers are high. We're solving the world's most difficult challenges through materials science..

We’re seeking a Senior Engineer in a pivotal role within our technology department. You’ll be primarily responsible for leading and optimizing hot working processes for manufacturing Nickel, Titanium, and Specialty Steel products. The successful candidate will leverage their expertise in Metallurgical or Materials Science & Engineering to enhance process efficiency, product quality, and safety while supporting the development and standardization of new products and processes.

Other Responsibilities

• Technical lead for various post-melt processes including open die press forging, radial forging, and hot rolling of Nickel, Titanium, and Specialty Steel products.
• Develop and maintain metallurgical and operational expertise in processing of Nickel, Titanium, and Specialty Steel alloys.
• Lead and support cross-functional programs to improve process right the first time, yield, cost, and cycle time.
• Resolve process-related non-conformances and reduce/eliminate scrap.
• Apply thermal/deformation modeling to evaluate and improve products and processes.
• Collaborate with Operations, Maintenance, and Quality personnel to improve manufacturing processes and standards that enhance safety, equipment performance, and product quality.
• Lead or participate in team-based continuous improvement activities including risk assessments, 5-why problem solving, CEDAC or cause & effect, process mapping, process audits, and standard work.
• Support internal/external customers by collecting and analyzing thermo-mechanical processing data.
