The role will primarily focus on supporting efforts to identify

 appropriate materials of construction for new chemical manufacturing

 processes.  This includes assisting with literature searches on existing

 material applications, setting up corrosion coupons and analyzing

 results in the lab, and making materials of construction recommendations

 based on testing results and available economic data. Materials tested

 include metallics, thermoplastics and elastomers, with particular

 emphasis on ferrous materials and nickel alloys.  Conducting failure

 analysis in the lab is another key part of this role, along with helping

 to develop Mechanical Integrity programs for existing manufacturing

 processes. In doing so it is essential to work together across teams and

 manufacturing sites. Travel activities in the context of field

 investigations cannot be excluded.

 Responsibilities may include:

 • Materials literature search and analysis

 • Corrosion lab coupon setup and analysis

 • Materials of Construction recommendations

 • Performing Failure Analysis testing, analysis and report

 generation

 • Mechanical Integrity program development

  Required Skills/Experiences:

 • Sophomore or Junior pursing a Bachelors degree in Materials

 Science, Metallurgical Engineering, or related Engineering Discipline

 • Strong written and oral communication skills

 • Good problem solving skills

 • High degree of personal initiative

 • Excellent organization and planning skills

 • Ability to work well in a team environment and a diverse culture

 Desired Skills/Experiences:

 • Minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale

 • Knowledge of manufacturing processes

 • Experience in corrosion testing or failure analysis
