The Materials Engineer will support a major Packaging and Handling (P&H) assessment effort for Northeast facilities. This role will focus initially on evaluating materials, reviewing documentation, and developing packaging/handling requirements for incoming parts. Following the completion of this project, the role will transition into steady‑state responsibilities involving maintaining P&H requirements, incoming material testing, review of Certificates of Analysis, and verification of compliance to specifications.

The position requires strong analytical skills, collaboration with subject matter experts, and hands‑on laboratory experience.

• Evaluate drawings and specifications of incoming parts to determine appropriate packaging and handling requirements based on material characteristics.
• Engage with subject matter experts to understand material usage, environmental sensitivities, and manufacturing considerations.
• Review material documentation, specifications, and technical data sheets; develop recommendations based on engineering judgment.
• Clearly document findings and support integration of packaging/handling requirements into formal coding and standards.
• Follow established protocols and contribute to the development of new test plans, fixtures, and custom test setups.

As the project transitions to steady‑state responsibilities, you will also:

• Conduct hands‑on material testing using standard laboratory techniques and equipment to verify compliance with required specifications.
• Review Certificates of Analysis (COAs) and confirm adherence to material, chemical, and performance requirements.
• Investigate and resolve discrepancies between COAs and specifications in collaboration with suppliers, quality, and engineering teams.
• Maintain accurate documentation of incoming inspections, validation activities, and material test results.

• Bachelor's Degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 2 years of prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel for data analysis, evaluating plots and experimental data sets, performing statistical analysis, and generating technical summaries
• Hands‑on experience performing general wet laboratory procedures, such as sample preparation, dilutions, and safe handling of chemicals within a laboratory environment
• Ability to troubleshoot analytical instrument problems, perform analysis, and interpret data
• The ability to obtain and maintain a US security clearance. U.S. citizenship is required as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance

• Background in metallurgy, materials science, chemistry, or a related discipline.
• Experience working with material specifications, coatings,…
