About The Position

Proven to Perform.
From the edges of space to the bottoms of ocean, our materials are proven to
perform -- and so is our team. We're hiring high performers as proven as our
products. Join us.

We are currently looking to hire a Modeling Engineer - FEA to support ATI's
Technical Research and Development Teams. As a Modeling Engineer you will
contribute to and expand ATI Specialty Material’s capabilities in computational
materials science by developing and utilizing process models to address issues
relating to the manufacture of specialty alloys and make predictions of relevant
properties at various stages through the manufacturing process. This is an
onsite position based at our Monroe, NC facility.

A successful Modeling Engineer is also a thought-leader, and problem solver who
enthusiastically tackle challenges and achieves results while dealing with
ambiguity and change that accompanies working in a research environment. To add
to your knowledge, you will also need to periodically visit relevant
manufacturing facilities in order to gain insight into the issues to be
addressed.

We thrive when the expectations are great, and the barriers are high. We're
solving the world's most difficult challenges through materials science. Our
advanced, integrated process technologies and proven performers give us a
tremendous competitive advantage. When customers systems need to fly higher, dig
deeper, stand stronger, and last longer -- anywhere on, above or below the earth
-- ATI is proven to perform.
