  • Technical Standards: Drive technical standards for materials and manufacturing technologies, applying chemistry and metallurgy fundamentals to recycling and material recovery.
  • Pilot Support: Support pilot-to-production scale-up for recycling technologies and define qualification standards for recycled critical materials.
  • Technical Expertise: Act as a technical expert on critical materials, supporting Product & Process Qualification (PPQ & R2O), resolving supplier quality issues, and leading project management for circularity initiatives.

  • 5+ years of experience in Engineering, Quality, Manufacturing, or Supply Chain
  • Experience in materials recycling, metallurgy, or supplier development and exposure to critical materials and rare earth supply chains
  • Strong project management and analytical skills and ability to map complex supply chains for critical materials and strong influencing and collaboration skills
  • Hands-on mindset with supplier engagement and willingness to travel
  • 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.
