Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world. Opportunity to work in Materials Engineering Laboratory in Tucson AZ. This position will offer a qualified candidate the opportunity to solve engineering problems by performing chemical analysis on various materials (adhesives, polymers, tapes, composites, metals, and various other production materials). The primary responsibilities require assessing materials based on conformance to specifications or conducting root cause failure analysis leveraging knowledge of instrumental analysis, including spectroscopy, chromatography and thermal analysis. Tasks will require quick turn of analysis working with a multi-discipline team, requiring careful attention to detail and can be repetitive at times. This is not a research position, but instead requires solving engineering problems and providing engineering solutions within a short period of time (days or weeks). Due to the physical nature of the work, qualified candidates must also be able to lift 22 lbs. Collaboration with engineers, subject matter experts, and suppliers is required. Candidate must be able to manage and coordinate a wide variety of simultaneous tasks within set schedule requirements, while spending much of their time in the laboratory.
