About the role

The Metallurgist is responsible for providing technical expertise in materials science and metallurgical processes to support UNION's manufacturing operations, quality assurance, and product development.
As UNION scales its Factories-as-a-Stockpile™ model for defense and industrial production, this role plays a critical part in ensuring material integrity, qualifying new processes, and resolving metallurgical issues across a facility built for continuous readiness and rapid retooling.

Lead first-article inspections and metallurgical evaluations to ensure compliance with military, aerospace, and customer-specific standards.
Implement statistical process control (SPC) and statistical analyses (CpK/PpK) using tools such as Minitab or JMP to monitor and drive improvement of metallurgical processes.
Establish and maintain welding and joining procedures (WPS/PQR) for ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.
drive corrective actions through 5-Why and other structured problem-solving methods.
Serve as the primary metallurgical resource for design, production, and supplier quality teams
support supplier audits, source inspections, and customer technical reviews.
Support new product development and process qualification activities from a materials perspective.
Conduct material failure investigations using standard laboratory and analytical techniques; drive corrective actions through 5-Why and other structured problem-solving methods.
Serve as the primary metallurgical resource for design, production, and supplier quality teams; support supplier audits, source inspections, and customer technical reviews.

Bachelor's degree in Metallurgical Engineering, Materials Science, or a closely related field
Minimum 5 years of applied metallurgy experience in defense, aerospace, or high-reliability manufacturing.
Proficiency in metallographic preparation and analysis
Working knowledge of welding metallurgy and residual-stress considerations.
Experience with statistical process control and data analysis tools (Minitab, JMP, or equivalent).
Strong cross-functional communicator with the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.

Familiarity with MIL-STD, AMS, and ITAR requirements.
Experience with non-destructive testing methods (UT, PT, RT).
Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt, ASQ CQE, or equivalent certification.
Exposure to additive manufacturing metallurgy.
Experience in forging, casting, or precision machining environments.
Experience with PFMEA and quality management systems (ISO 9001 / AS9100/NADCAP).
Work is performed in both laboratory and manufacturing floor environments.
Exposure to heat treating equipment, industrial furnaces, chemical reagents, and noise is expected.
