Full Job Description
A Snapshot of Your Day

Join us at the cutting edge of gas turbine innovation, where advanced ceramic materials meet real-world performance. In this hands-on role, you'll develop and optimize high-temperature ceramics, fine-tuning processes like injection molding, slip casting, and sintering to push the limits of durability and precision. You'll lead experiments, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and tackle scale-up challenges head-on helping transform breakthrough materials into production-ready solutions.

From pilot runs to full industrialization, you'll play a key role in ensuring quality, solving complex problems, and driving next-generation manufacturing forward!

How You'll Make an Impact
  • Develop and refine advanced ceramic materials and feedstocks for high-performance gas turbine components
  • Optimize core manufacturing processes including injection molding, slip casting, debinding, and sintering
  • Plan and execute experimental trials to analyze material behavior and improve process outcomes
  • Collaborate with design and manufacturing teams to enhance critical-to-work features and overall product performance
  • Support pilot builds and small-series production to ensure process stability, dimensional accuracy, and quality compliance
  • Drive scale-up and industrialization efforts, solving production challenges while implementing effective root-cause and corrective actions
What You Bring
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Ceramics, Materials Science, Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related discipline
  • 5-8+ years hands-on experience with ceramic manufacturing processes like injection molding, casting, forming, and sintering. More years of experience can be considered at a higher level.
  • Expertise in material characterization techniques like microscopy (optical/SEM), thermal analysis (DSC, TGA, DTA), and mechanical testing
  • Familiarity with porosity, density measurement, and advanced dimensional inspection methods (e.g., CT or 3D scanning)
  • Technology development, pilot production, or scaling processes into industrial manufacturing environments is a plus
  • Analytical, detail-oriented problem solver with strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across engineering, production, and quality teams
  • Applicants must be legally authorized for employment in the United States without need for current or future employer-sponsored work authorization. Siemens Energy employees with current visa sponsorship may be eligible for internal transfers.
Export Control Requirement:Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
