Job summary:
Conduct basic and applied research on characterization of metallic alloys, semiconductors and organic/polymeric materials; apply knowledge of transmission electron microscopy to understand the structure and microchemistry of materials with an emphasis on metallic systems; develop and implement strategies to maintain advanced leadership in materials characterization; document research results.
Use knowledge of scanning electron microscopy, electron backscattered diffraction, Ni and Fe-based alloys, phase transformations, phase diagrams, and crystallography to immediately assist with a high volume workflow.
Candidate will be expected to develop and maintain good communications and responsiveness to the needs of the team and internal GE Global Research (GRC) researchers.
The ideal candidate will strive to maintain high data quality standards expectations through application of analytical skills, knowledge of materials, and fluency in scanning electron microscopy and electron backscattered diffraction.
As a Materials Scientist in SEM/EBSD, working in large multidisciplinary teams you will:
Conduct research related to the development of new materials systems, engineered materials, microstructures, and processes.
Characterize residual strains in welds and other components.
Use scanning electron microscopes to characterize the structure, composition, and properties of materials.
Prepare proposals to GE businesses and external funding agencies.
Maintain high productivity in a high volume laboratory setting.
Be expected to have knowledge of preparing SEM samples for a wide range of materials.
Have proven expertise in the interpretation of electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) data and operating the software for a wide range of EDS systems.
Be expected to use and possibly develop software to analyze data for, image analysis, EDS, and electron diffraction.
Develop or assist in the development new sample preparation techniques for SEM / EBSD.
Interact with GRC program teams, GE businesses, and other characterization teams to provide total characterization solutions to GE projects.
Stay current on state-of-art characterization equipment and methods and propose and implement new capabilities to provide added value.
Communicate research results to internal and external stakeholders through reports and presentations of your work.
Work with external funding agencies to identify research opportunities in line with GE’s long-term technology needs.
Handle multiple projects and stay on schedule for project deliverables.
Invent, patent, present, and publish when appropriate.
Follow mandatory safety procedures, and practices.
Qualifications/Requirements: Doctorate degree in Materials Science and Engineering or closely related field with at least 3 years working knowledge of advanced scanning electron microscopy, SEM techniques, electron backscattered diffraction analysis and equipment (high resolution imaging, x-ray microanalysis and electron diffraction structural analysis).
Strong background and experience with microstructural elucidation in engineering materials, semiconductors, organics/polymers and especially metals and alloys.
Advanced knowledge in SEM sample preparation using traditional methods.
Experience in sample preparation for high quality electron backscattered diffraction patterns.
General understanding of all engineering materials systems with a specialization in Ni and Fe-base alloys and an ability to contribute materials knowledge to programs.
Must be willing to perform off-shift work as required due to availability of analytical equipment and program demands.
Fluent in all technical terminology aspects of materials characterization.
Legal authorization to work in the U.S. is required. We will not sponsor individuals for employment visas, now or in the future, for this job opening.
Must be willing to work out of an office located in Niskayuna, NY.
Must be willing to take a drug test and submit to a background investigation as part of the selection process.
Must be 18 years or older.
You must submit your application for employment on the careers page at www.gecareers.com to be considered.
Additional Eligibility Qualifications: GE will only employ those who are legally authorized to work in the United States for this opening. Any offer of employment is conditioned upon the successful completion of a background investigation and drug screen.
Desired Characteristics: At least 5 years of experience in high resolution imaging using a scanning electron microscope, sample preparation, characterization using electron backscattered diffraction and microanalysis by electron dispersive x-ray spectroscopy.
