About The Position
Primary Talent Partners is hiring a Materials Engineer II for a medical device client in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This is a 7-month W2 contract with potential for extension. The role analyzes, researches, designs, and develops materials and related fabrication and application processes to optimize materials for engineering designs and their use in structures, systems, and subsystems. It applies principles of chemistry, physics, and material behavior to develop specifications for metallic, non-metallic, and composite materials, as well as processing, fabrication, and assembly processes. The position also develops, analyzes, and applies material properties, design allowables, processing processes, and quality engineering specifications. Material analyses may include component, system, and subsystem failure analysis, life predictions, and definition and requirement specifications. The engineer may review and approve subcontractor material-processing procedures. Day-to-day work includes participating in project-team meetings related to materials research, new product development, and released products; conducting laboratory work in materials characterization, accelerated testing, and surface analysis; and writing technical reports. Pay is $35.00–$45.00 per hour. The contract provides no PTO or benefits; an ACA-compliant supplemental package is available for enrollment.
