    Design the Future of Performance Materials With ATI R&D

     

    At ATI, we push the boundaries of whats possible in metal performance. From jet engines that burn hotter to medical implants that heal faster, our materials serve mission-critical industries where failure is not an option.

     

    As an R&D Engineer, youll sit at the intersection of metallurgy, manufacturing, and innovationdesigning new alloys, refining advanced processes, and building the technical foundation for ATIs next generation of products. Your curiosity will fuel performance breakthroughs. Your rigor will shape high-stakes applications in aerospace, defense, and energy. Your work will matter.

     

    What Youll Do

     

    + Lead alloy and process development projects, focusing on Ni-, Ti-, Co-, or Fe-based systems, powder metallurgy, or additive manufacturing (AM).

    + 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 ATIs metallurgical leadership.

    + Contribute to patent filings, IP development, and competitive technical benchmarking.

     

    Who You Are

     

    + 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.
