Job Description

Job Summary:

Description

  • A Metallurgy Failure Analysis job involves investigating why metal parts break or perform poorly, using tools like SEM, EDS, Hardness tester and microscopy to find the root cause (fracture, corrosion, design flaw) and recommending solutions to prevent recurrence, requiring strong materials science, metallurgical principles, and technical report writing skills

Key Responsibilities

  • Root Cause Analysis: Examine failed components (fracture surfaces, corrosion, microstructures) using advanced techniques to determine failure origins and mechanisms (fatigue, creep, stress corrosion cracking).
  • Testing & Validation: Develop and perform destructive (tensile, hardness) and non-destructive (NDT) tests to replicate failures and validate material performance.
  • Data Interpretation: Analyze test results and microscopic images (fractography) to understand material behavior and failure modes.
  • Reporting & Communication: Prepare detailed technical reports and present findings to engineering, quality, and management teams.
  • Collaboration: Work with cross-functional teams (design, manufacturing, quality) to implement corrective actions and improve product reliability. 

Essential Skills & Qualifications

  • Education: Master's or PhD in Metallurgy, Materials Science, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Metallurgical Knowledge: Deep understanding of phase transformations, alloy behavior, fracture mechanics, corrosion, and high-temperature properties.
  • Analytical Tools: Hands-on proficiency with SEM, EDS, optical microscopy, tensile testing.
  • Problem-Solving: Strong analytical mindset, attention to detail, and ability to solve complex material issues.
  • Technical Writing: Excellent ability to document and present complex technical data clearly.
