Shop Floor & Lab Position! 

You will be preparing and analyzing metal samples to evaluate their microstructure, hardness, grain size, and mechanical properties. This role involves using metallographic equipment, interpreting test results, and maintaining accurate records in compliance with industry standards such as ASTM E112, E18, E8, and others.

 DESCRIPTION:

• Prepare metal samples using cutting, mounting, grinding, polishing, and etching techniques for microscopic examination.
• Perform metallographic evaluations including grain size analysis (ASTM E112), tensile testing (ASTM E8), and eddy current testing (ASTM E243).
• Conduct mechanical testing (hardness testing using Rockwell, Vickers, and Brinell methods) and document results.
• Operate and maintain optical microscopes, hardness testers, and other lab equipment.
• Record test results accurately in lab reports, databases, and quality records.
• Assist with failure analysis and material investigations under the supervision of engineers. 
• Support internal and external audits by maintaining traceable and compliant documentation.
• Document inspection results by completing reports and logs; summarizing re-work and waste; inputting data into quality database.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Experience with Material Hardness Testing.
• Must be able to understand and interpret technical specifications.
• Familiarity with ASTM standards, especially E112 (Grain Size), E3 (Preparation), and E18 (Hardness)
• Knowledge of hardness testing equipment (Rockwell, Vickers, Brinell)
• Ability to interpret metallurgical microstructures and perform grain size counts
• Experience with lab software or image analysis tools is a plus
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to data accuracy
•  Time management and organizational skills
• Ability to stand for extended periods and handle light-to-moderate lifting
