Job Summary

Title: Materials Technology Engineer

Location: Hagerstown MD (Onsite)

Job Type: Full Time / Contract

Mandate skill set: Hands-on proficiency with SEM EDS optical microscopy tensile testing.

Description:

A Metallurgy Failure Analysis job involves investigating why metal parts break or perform poorly using tools like SEM EDS Hardness tester and microscopy to find the root cause (fracture corrosion design flaw) and recommending solutions to prevent recurrence requiring strong materials science metallurgical principles and technical report writing skills

Key Responsibilities

Root Cause Analysis: Examine failed components (fracture surfaces corrosion microstructures) using advanced techniques to determine failure origins and mechanisms (fatigue creep stress corrosion cracking).
Testing & Validation: Develop and perform destructive (tensile hardness) and non-destructive (NDT) tests to replicate failures and validate material performance.
Data Interpretation: Analyze test results and microscopic images (fractography) to understand material behavior and failure modes.
Reporting & Communication: Prepare detailed technical reports and present findings to engineering quality and management teams.
Collaboration: Work with cross-functional teams (design manufacturing quality) to implement corrective actions and improve product reliability.

Essential Skills & Qualifications

Education: Masters or PhD in Metallurgy Materials Science or related field (or equivalent experience).
Metallurgical Knowledge: Deep understanding of phase transformations alloy behavior fracture mechanics corrosion and high-temperature properties.
Analytical Tools: Hands-on proficiency with SEM EDS optical microscopy tensile testing.
Problem-Solving: Strong analytical mindset attention to detail and ability to solve complex material issues.
Technical Writing: Excellent ability to document and present complex technical data clearly.
