Special Processes Technical Leader

Experteer Overview

As Manufacturing Advisor, you shape coating processes for gas turbine components, combining materials expertise with hands-on coating operations. You will optimize aluminum-platinum deposition and diffusion, and lead thermal spray work (HVOF and APS) to ensure high-quality, repeatable coatings. You’ll partner with R&D, design, and quality teams to drive process improvements and material integrity in high-performance environments. This role offers impact by industrializing new coatings and sustaining production with safety and compliance at the forefront.

Retribuzione / Benefits

• Develop, optimize, and standardize coating processes (aluminum-platinum deposition, diffusion heat treatment)
• Define/control process parameters to ensure adhesion, thickness uniformity, and spec compliance
• Prepare and maintain detailed process documentation (work instructions, control plans, specifications)
• Set up and operate HVOF and APS coating systems; monitor spray parameters and equipment performance
• Ensure safety compliance and equipment calibration per industry standards
• Collaborate with quality and materials teams to analyze defects and implement CAPA
• Lead industrialization of new coating technologies from development to production
• Drive process improvements in cycle time, yield, repeatability, and environmental compliance
• Coordinate with R&D, design engineering, and suppliers as needed

Responsabilità

• Master's degree in Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Chemical Engineering or equivalent hands-on experience
• Solid experience in coating processes for aerospace or energy sector, particularly gas turbines
• Technical expertise in aluminum-platinum deposition and diffusion, TBCs, HVOF and APS spraying
• Strong understanding of coating microstructures, thermal protection, oxidation/corrosion resistance, and adhesion mechanisms
• Familiarity with metrology, NDT, and metallurgical analysis techniques
• Ability to work in cross-functional teams and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent documentation, communication, and problem-solving skills
• Proficiency in English
