Job Description & How to Apply Below
- Application Exploration & Opportunity Identification
- Proactively explore new surface coating applications across industries such as energy, aviation, automotive and general industrial sectors.
- Engage with customers, end users, research partners, and the broader industry ecosystem to discover pain points, unmet needs, and forward-looking opportunities.
- Analyze real operating conditions and failure modes (wear, corrosion, thermal shock, erosion, high‑temperature exposure, etc.).
- Build a structured Application Opportunity Pipeline with clear technical and business rationale.
- Materials & Process Recommendation (Thermal Spray Focus)
- Select suitable thermal spray processes such as HVOF, APS, cold spray, LPPS, etc.
- Evaluate and compare thermal spray vs. overlay welding in terms of performance, feasibility, and application boundaries.
- Provide clear technical justification for material selection, process window, and performance expectations.
- Validation & Sample Testing
- Design coating validation plans covering wear resistance, corrosion behavior, thermal properties, and microstructure analysis
- Coordinate with internal labs or external partners to execute tests.
- Analyze test results and prepare clear technical reports with recommended design improvements.
- Customer Trials & Technical Approval
- Support customer trial runs and field testing.
- Track real‑world performance, gather feedback, and drive iterative improvements.
- Lead technical discussions to achieve customer qualification and approval.
- Support introduction into customer/OEMs’ technical specifications.
- Solution Packaging & Internal Enablement
- Convert successful projects into standardized solution packages including:
- Material & process selection
