• Support Additive Manufacturing experiments, developing and validating post-processing techniques
• Collaborate with engineering teams to design, execute, and document material processing trials
• Perform thermal processing of aerospace alloys (stainless steel, copper, nickel, cobalt, titanium, castings, and additive parts)
• Conduct pre- and post-process material testing (e.g., hardness, microstructure evaluation)
• Assist in the design and checkout of specialized thermal processing fixtures and equipment
• Perform preventative maintenance on heat-treat and HIP equipment
• Troubleshoot equipment and processes, recommending and implementing corrective actions
• Maintain process control compliance with AMS 2750 and AMS 2769 standards
• Safely operate cranes, rigging, and other material handling equipment in support of furnace operations
• Primary shift is A: 4 × 10 hours Mon–Thu; flexible to support all shifts/OT as required

• Minimum 3 years of aerospace thermal processing experience with High‑Pressure Heat Treat and/or HIP
• 2 years of technical college or 5+ years of on-the-job training working with industrial heat-treating furnaces
• Understanding of high‑pressure furnace fundamentals and operation
• Experience processing aerospace materials (stainless steel, copper, nickel, cobalt alloys, titanium, castings, additive manufacturing)
• Familiarity with pre- and post-process testing (hardness, microstructure analysis)
• Proficiency with preventative maintenance practices for thermal processing equipment
• Strong written communication and computer skills
• Commitment to safety and process discipline
• Familiarity with calibration and pyrometry standards (AMS 2750, AMS 2769)
• Physically able to climb ladders and stairs, and lift/carry 50 lb for limited durations
• Overhead crane and rigging experience

• 5+ years of aerospace thermal processing experience in high‑pressure and HIP applications
• Experience with post-process testing (hardness, alpha case, mechanical testing) and prior work with Quintus Furnace experiments and additive‑manufacturing post‑processing development
• Experience collaborating with materials engineers on process development, testing, and documentation
• Familiarity with braze joint design, alloy selection (nickel and precious‑metal based), and process optimization for aerospace hardware
