About this role

MT Aerospace

Space. Far away for most - soon very close for you. Become part of an industry of visionaries and pioneers and make a valuable contribution as a Materials Engineer M&P – specialising in metals and surface technology (m/f/d) to help the European launcher Ariane and other international launchers take off.

Your Tasks

  • Selection, development and qualification of new materials (metals, composites and hybrids) and surface treatments for demanding aerospace and defence components
  • Preparation of technical specifications and process documentation, e.g. delivery specifications for forged parts, heat treatment, surface treatment, cleaning, material data sheets and qualification reports
  • Identification, evaluation and implementation of process optimisations in heat treatment and surface treatment processes for series-production components
  • Planning, definition and execution of complex mechanical material tests, in particular fracture toughness tests (e.g. KIc, J-integral method), fatigue tests and LCF
  • Evaluation, interpretation and documentation of test results
  • Ensuring quality standards are met and further developing processes and verification methods
  • Actively contributing to the modernisation, digitalisation and expansion of testing procedures and workflows for internal and external customers
  • Analysing and resolving complex material and process deviations in development and production
  • Active involvement in the modernisation and digitalisation of development and production processes, including data management and process automation
  • Identification, evaluation and implementation of process optimisations in heat treatment and surface treatment processes for series-production components
  • Carrying out and supervising surface analyses on large components, including the use of mobile measurement systems
  • Working closely with design, engineering, quality assurance and external partners
  • Actively networking within the M&P sector (industry, research, suppliers) and driving the adoption of new technologies
  • Contributing to a more efficient organisation through pragmatic and product-oriented solutions

Your Qualifications

  • A degree in Materials Science, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or a comparable discipline
  • In-depth knowledge of surface technology, particularly in the cleaning, pre-treatment and coating of metallic materials, as well as in the evaluation and qualification of relevant processes
  • Experience in the field of Materials & Processes or materials-related product development, ideally in the aerospace, defence or high-performance industries
  • In-depth knowledge of metallic materials and the relevant manufacturing and production processes (e.g. Al, Ti, steels, superalloys)
  • In-depth knowledge of mechanical materials testing, ideally with experience in fracture mechanics and testing under extreme temperature conditions
  • Practical experience with heat treatments, furnace systems and pyrometry
  • Practical experience in operating hydraulic testing machines (e.g. Instron, Zwick/Roell, MTS)
  • Experience with qualification and validation processes in accordance with relevant standards (e.g. ECSS, MIL-STD)
  • A strong affinity for digitalised development processes, data management and workflow automation
  • A pragmatic and efficient approach to work – solution-oriented, hands-on and goal-oriented
  • Innovative thinking and the ability to implement new technologies and processes
  • A product-oriented mindset with an understanding of manufacturing, industrialisation and the supply chain
  • Very good command of German and English
