Ph.D. strongly preferred.
Experience with one or more of the following:
Advanced high-strength steels, third-generation steels, press-hardening steels, dual-phase steels, martensitic steels, bainitic steels, TRIP steels, TWIP steels, or other emerging steel grades.
Thermo-mechanical processing, controlled rolling, recrystallization control, precipitation strengthening, transformation control, or grain-size engineering.
CALPHAD, thermodynamic and kinetic modeling, Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME), finite-element simulation, or process modeling.
Advanced characterization of crystallographic texture, inclusions, precipitates, retained austenite, martensite, bainite, weld zones, or coating interfaces.
Steel forming, stamping, roll forming, forging, welding, joining, coating, galvanizing, or additive manufacturing.
Corrosion, hydrogen effects, fatigue, fracture, crash performance, lightweighting, or durability of steel components.
Scientific programming, data analysis, machine learning, or materials informatics using Python, MATLAB, C/C++, or similar tools.
Experience coupling metallurgical predictions with experimental validation and engineering qualification.
Demonstrated publication record and/or intellectual property generation.
Experience transitioning metallurgical insights into applied engineering, manufacturing, or production solutions.
Knowledge of design-for-manufacturing, steel sustainability, recycled content, critical-materials considerations, or life-cycle performance.
