If you want a new challenge and want to make a difference, then WPI can help you get there.

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled and driven individual with expertise in materials science and mechanical engineering to lead a project in materials and structures for extreme environments. This initiative is a collaborative venture between aerospace corporate partners and a multi-disciplinary team of researchers at WPI with the goal of developing novel coating technologies to enhance the durability and reliability of engine blade components.

Practical knowledge of design of experimental setups and standard lab practices is also essential. Experience in experimental mechanics (in particular, mechanical testing, thermal and environmental testing, and basic material characterization) is highly desirable.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design experimental methodology/setups for thermal gradient testing of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) in engine turbine blades under high temperatures and aggressive environments.
  • Conduct spallation life testing of TBCs under a thermal gradient to assess the effect of factors such as temperature, cycle, and loading conditions on the life of TBCs.
  • Serve as a technical and programmatic liaison to engineers and scientists at our corporate partners on the development of testing methods and conducting testing of TBCs.
Requirements:
  • Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Physics, or related fields.
  • Practical knowledge of design of experimental setups and standard lab practices.
  • Experience in experimental mechanics (in particular, mechanical testing, thermal and environmental testing, and basic material characterization).
Benefits:
