Engineer II (conversion Process Engineer)

Process Engineer

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're hiring high performers as proven as our products. Join us. We're seeking a Process Engineer in a pivotal role within our Technology department based in Monroe, NC. You'll be primarily responsible for leading and optimizing hot working processes across various stages of production for Nickel, Titanium, and Specialty Steel alloy 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 and existing products and processes.

Other Responsibilities:

• Technical lead for various post-melt processes including open-die press forging, GFM radial forging, and hot rolling of Nickel, Titanium, and Specialty Steel alloy products.
• Develop and maintain metallurgical and operational expertise in thermo-mechanical processing of Nickel, Titanium, and Specialty Steel alloys, and impact on material properties.
• Lead and support programs to continuously improve process yields, cost, cycle time, as well as resolve process-related non-conformances.
• Collaborate with Operations, Maintenance, and Quality personnel to develop improvements to manufacturing processes and standards (KCCs) that enhance safety in the workplace, equipment performance, and product quality.
• Lead and support team-based continuous improvement activities including risk assessments, 5-why problem solving, CEDAC, process mapping, process audits, and standard work.
• Support internal/external customers by analyzing thermo-mechanical processing data to associate process parameters and material quality.
• Support Product Engineering and R&D in the development, evaluation and standardization of new products and processes.
• Apply thermal/deformation modeling to evaluate and improve products and processes.
• Provide technical support during customer audits.
