What are the responsibilities and job description for the Materials Engineer I position at Analytical Mechanics Associates?
Job Description
AMA is seeking motivated and detail-oriented Materials Testing Engineer to support the Research, Science, and Engineering Services (RSES) contract at NASA Langley Research Center.
About The Project
Specific tasks will include assisting in the operation of a micro-x-ray computed tomography (CT) machine, performing CT reconstructions, porosity analysis, digital volume correlation, and mechanical testing. This work aims to develop a faster and more comprehensive characterization of ceramic matrix composites (CMC) materials so that safe and reusable supersonic and hypersonic flight vehicles can be developed. A strong preference will be given to candidates with skills in artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML). The objective is to assemble new material property databases based on AI/ML and data collected through digital volume correlation.
Pay for this position is $60,000 to $75,000 per year, depending on experience, education, and location.
