• Create and refine process simulation tools using methods such as finite element, finite difference, cellular automata, and phase-field modeling to predict thermal and mechanical behavior.
• Integrate modeling results with experimental characterization techniques (including SEM, EBSD, XRD, DSC) and plant data to validate predictions and continually improve model accuracy.
• Build thermodynamic and kinetic models using tools like Thermo-Calc, DICTRA, TC-Prisma, and Pandat to support alloy design and process optimization.
• Lead end-to-end modeling projects, from scoping and model development through validation and deployment, with the goal of improving or innovating aluminum sheet products and processes across beverage packaging, automotive, specialties, and aerospace markets.
• Automate workflows for predicting microstructure-property relationships and incorporate feedback from plant trials to enhance model robustness.
• Collaborate with plant engineers and R&D teams to apply models for troubleshooting and improving productivity, recovery, and quality.
• Document methodologies and results in technical reports and contribute to intellectual property through invention disclosures and patents.

Minimum qualifications

• Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, with more than ten years of experience in computational modeling.
• Expertise in metallurgy and materials science, as well as process and microstructure modeling for metallic systems, especially aluminum alloys. Flat rolled aluminum products experience is largely preferred
