Engineer/Sr. Engineer - Heat Treatment

Engineer/Sr. Engineer - Heat Treatment

Roles & Responsibilities:

Furnace Engineer who can take ownership of developing and optimizing heating and heat treatment cycles for titanium alloys used in aerospace applications. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of titanium metallurgy, be well-versed with AMS standards, and have hands-on experience running and maintaining furnaces in a controlled, high-quality environment.
If you enjoy combining deep technical knowledge with practical problem-solving and want to contribute to producing world-class aerospace components, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and establish heating cycles for titanium forging operations, ensuring precise temperature control and consistency across batches.
• Define heat treatment cycles (such as solution treatment, aging, annealing, or stress relieving) for various titanium alloys in line with AMS specifications.
• Ensure each process delivers the required metallurgical results including microstructure, grain size, and mechanical properties.
• Develop furnace programs, monitor process parameters, and fine-tune cycles for better efficiency and repeatability.
• Oversee daily furnace operations, including vacuum, inert gas, and air furnaces, ensuring all run within specification.
• Maintain compliance with AMS 2750 (Pyrometry) for calibration, temperature uniformity, and instrumentation accuracy.
• Troubleshoot furnace or process deviations and implement effective corrective actions.
• Prepare and maintain complete heat treatment documentation, including charts, records, and traceability logs in line with NADCAP and AS9100 requirements.
• Work closely with Quality and Metallurgy teams to validate results and confirm compliance with applicable AMS/ASTM standards.
• Support internal and customer audits, ensuring processes and records are always up to standard

Desired Candidate Profile:

Education and Certifications:

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical/electrical/metallurgy engineering.

Experience:

• 2-7 years of relevant experience in furnace operations, heat treatment, and process control for titanium or aerospace materials.

Technical / Functional Expertise & other competencies:

• Solid understanding of AMS standards (AMS 2750, AMS 4928, AMS 2801) and NADCAP heat treatment requirements.
• Familiarity with pyrometry, thermocouple management, and furnace qualification protocols.
• Experience in aerospace, defense, or precision metallurgical manufacturing environments is a strong advantage.
