Senior R&D Metallurgist (Alloy & Process Development)

• →Lead alloy and process development projects, focusing on Ni-, Ti-, Co-, or Fe-based systems.
• →Develop and implement experimental plans for materials testing, process trials, or property optimization.
• →Analyze microstructure, phase transformation, and mechanical behavior using SEM, EBSD, XRD, or thermal analysis techniques.
• →Collaborate with Technology, Product Engineering, and Operations to scale lab-to-plant transitions and support new product introductions.
• →Present findings in internal reviews, customer briefings, and industry conferences.
• →Draft technical reports, white papers, and R&D proposals that demonstrate ATI’s metallurgical leadership.
• →Contribute to patent filings, IP development, and competitive technical benchmarking. 

• A self-driven problem solver with a passion for metallurgy, materials design, and manufacturing.
• Adept at hands-on experimentation, but capable of connecting theory to practice.
• Motivated to deliver science-based innovations that work in the real world, not just the lab.

• M.S. or Ph.D. in Materials Science, Metallurgical Engineering, or related discipline.
• 5+ years of industrial or academic research experience (co-op/internship/postdoc included).
• Demonstrated background in one or more of the following:
• Alloy development (Ni-based superalloys, Ti alloys, steels)
• Advanced remelting (VIM, VAR, ESR, PAM)
• Microstructural characterization and property analysis 

• Experience with thermodynamic modeling (Thermo-Calc, Pandat), finite element analysis, or process simulation tools.
• Knowledge of heat treatment effects, creep/fatigue behavior, or corrosion performance.
• Track record of publishing, presenting, or contributing to technical standards or patents.
• Familiarity with manufacturing scale-up, root cause investigations, or customer-driven development. 

Successful R&D Engineers at ATI have advanced into:

• Senior and Principal R&D roles
• Product Engineering Leadership
• Technical Fellow/Subject Matter Expert tracks
• Innovation Program Management 

• Primarily based in lab or technical office setting; occasional support at manufacturing sites.
• Travel: ~10–15%, including technical conferences and customer site visits. 

We thrive when the expectations are great, and the barriers are high. We're solving the world's most difficult challenges through materials science. Our advanced, integrated process technologies and proven performers give us a tremendous competitive advantage. When customers systems need to fly higher, dig deeper, stand stronger, and last longer -- anywhere on, above or below the earth -- ATI is proven to perform.
