We are currently looking to hire a Modeling Engineer - FEA to support ATI's Technical Research and Development Teams. As a Modeling Engineer you will contribute to and expand ATI Specialty Material’s capabilities in computational materials science by developing and utilizing process models to address issues relating to the manufacture of specialty alloys and make predictions of relevant properties at various stages through the manufacturing process. This is an onsite position based at our Monroe, NC facility.
A successful Modeling Engineer is also a thought-leader, and problem solver who enthusiastically tackle challenges and achieves results while dealing with ambiguity and change that accompanies working in a research environment. To add to your knowledge, you will also need to periodically visit relevant manufacturing facilities in order to gain insight into the issues to be addressed.
Responsibilities
- Utilize process simulation to support manufacturing process improvements that result in better product quality and lower manufacturing costs.
- Conduct testing and characterization in order to generate data necessary for model development, validation.
- Communicate results to management, colleagues, and customers in the form of written reports and oral presentations.
- Propose, defend and execute project concepts for new products, cost savings, quality improvement, and process innovation. Collaborate with technology and research colleagues across ATI.
- Maintain industry expertise and current knowledge of developments in process modeling by experimentation, attending meetings and conferences conducted by trade associations, by reviewing trade and technical literature and by periodic visit to customer, supplier, and other ATI manufacturing locations.
Basic Qualifications
- M.S. or Ph.D. degree in Mechanical/Materials Science Engineering with experience in one of the following areas: metallurgical process modeling, integrated computational materials engineering, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics and/or numerical methods to solve engineering problems.
- At least 2 years of relevant modeling work experience.
- Experience in modeling fluid flow and or solidification of metals (or) Experience in modeling forging of metals, grain size prediction.
- Experience in one or more relevant commercial FEA programs.
Preferred Qualifications (in addition to Basic Qualifications)
- 3+ years of experience with one or more of the following: Ni-base superalloys, titanium alloys, specialty steels, or metal powders.
- Experienced in DEFORM software suite.
- Experienced in C++/FORTRAN/Python programming. Experience in developing User subroutines experience a big plus.
- Experienced in using Machine learning for solving materials science problems.
- Experience in thermodynamic packages.
