The Materials Engineering Department provides materials and process expertise to support manufacturing processes, failure analysis, new process development, and materials selection and design.
This position is within the Materials Engineering Department and will support solderable finish assessments. A solderable finish assessment is an assessment of the risk associated with certain metallic finishes on electronic component terminations, such as tin whisker growth and gold embrittlement. These assessments involve reviewing technical data packages and military or commercial specifications, contacting suppliers, and documenting risk in written reports to support new product designs and product changes. Under some special circumstances laboratory data is required to provide adequate objective evidence to assess risk. These situations may require coordination of laboratory activities with laboratory staff.
This position can be either a salary grade G06 or G07 based upon the applicants qualifications as they relate to the skills, leadership, experience and responsibility requirements of the position.
This position can be located nationwide with ability to work remotely.
