Original job description

Hiring for a Principal Materials Engineer in East Hartford! Job DescriptionThis Principal Materials Engineer role focuses on corrosion, metallic coatings, high-temperature oxidation, and advanced coating technologies for critical aerospace engine programs. You will step into a highly technical, high-visibility position with significant ownership over materials and coating projects that directly impact engine durability, reliability, safety, and production. The role offers a contract-to-hire path with strong long-term career potential, flexible scheduling, and paid time off and holidays during the contract period.Responsibilities

Lead complex materials and coating-related projects for aerospace engine programs, including ownership from experimental design through implementation.
Serve as a technical subject matter expert in corrosion, metallic materials, coatings, and high-temperature oxidation for engine components and systems.
Design and execute experiments to investigate materials performance, corrosion behavior, cracking, stress effects, and high-temperature oxidation in metallic systems.
Perform hands-on technical testing, materials characterization, and data analysis to understand failure mechanisms and performance limitations.
Determine root causes of complex field and production issues related to corrosion, coatings, oxidation, and high-temperature materials.
Develop and validate material and process solutions, including coating technologies and design controls, to improve engine durability, reliability, safety, and manufacturability.
Support major engine programs, including geared turbofan (GTF) and PW135, with materials engineering expertise across design, manufacturing, and repair activities.
Collaborate closely with engineering, manufacturing, laboratory, and program teams to integrate materials solutions into production and repair processes.
Manage technical projects independently, including planning, prioritizing tasks, coordinating stakeholders, and delivering results within program requirements.
Provide technical mentorship and guidance to less-experienced engineers, fostering knowledge sharing and development of the materials engineering team.
Contribute to testing validation strategies and design control processes to ensure materials and coatings meet aerospace performance and quality standards.
Communicate technical findings, project status, and recommendations clearly to cross-functional teams and leadership.

Essential Skills

Bachelor's degree in Materials Science or Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Applied Physics, Metallurgy, or a related technical discipline.
Approximately 10+ years of relevant materials engineering experience, preferably working with metals in high-temperature, corrosion, oxidation, cracking, and stress environments.
Strong experience with corrosion and metallic materials, including metallic coatings and high-temperature oxidation behavior.
Experience working with high-temperature materials and coatings in aerospace or similarly demanding applications.
Knowledge of aerospace coating application methods and associated manufacturing processes.
Hands-on experience with experimental design, technical testing, and validation of materials and coatings.
Proficiency in data analysis and problem solving to determine root causes and develop effective materials solutions.
Ability to independently own and execute complex technical projects from concept through implementation.
Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, manufacturing, laboratory, and program organizations.
Engineering or STEM degree background with a solid foundation in metallurgy and coating technologies.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

PhD in Materials Science, Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Applied Physics, Metallurgy, or a related STEM discipline is preferred.
Experience with design control processes for materials and coatings in regulated or high-reliability environments.
background in testing validation methodologies for metallic materials and coatings.
Demonstrated ability to act as a technical subject matter expert and mentor within an engineering organization.
Track record of influencing engine or system durability, reliability, safety, and production through materials engineering decisions.
Comfort working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift based on program and customer needs.
