Bachelor's degree in Metallurgy, Metallurgical Engineering, Materials Science.
8-10 years of hands-on work and progressive technical metallurgical experience in High Performance Alloys in a manufacturing environment or equivalent ELLWOOD experience.
Demonstrated technical leadership in nickel-based superalloy development, process optimization, and new product commercialization in a manufacturing environment.
Recognized expertise in aerospace-grade materials and High-Performance Alloy manufacturing.
Comprehensive knowledge of metallurgical principles, standards, methods, practices, and equipment with demonstrated expertise in nickel-based superalloys, and high temp materials for aerospace and other critical applications.
Deep knowledge of physical metallurgy (phase transformations, microstructural evolution, heat-treat response).
Deep knowledge of mechanical metallurgy and deformation behavior, including stress-strain response, work hardening, and fracture mechanisms.
Foundational understanding of deformation processing (forging, rolling, extrusion) and the relationship between processing routes, microstructure and properties.
Understanding of industry standards (i.e. ASTM, NADCAP, AS9100).
High proficiency in data analysis, applied statistics, and process control.
Ability to work outside of normal work hours to meet business needs and tight deadlines, including local, domestic, and international travel and have reliable transportation.
