in the United States without company sponsorship. To apply for the
position, please go to our website at www.hitco.com.

Summary of Job Content: Support the development and processing of new
advanced ceramic materials for use in ballistic, aerospace, and
industrial applications, and develop the specifications needed to
scale up to production. This will include, but is not limited to,
research, characterization, and testing of new materials. Will be
required to assist in technical activities including the transfer of
the advanced ceramics production information and data as allowed by
Export Control regulation. Support engineers working with Operations,
Quality, Procurement and Testing Laboratory to advance materials
development and production.
Dimensions: Complexity (Knowledge / technological) - Knowledge of
materials related to ceramics and composites, testing and
characterization methodologies, high temperature manufacturing/
processing, manufacturing experience, ability to productively interact
with international and domestic colleagues.

Complexity (product diversity) - Focused on development of advanced
ceramic composite materials using a range of precursor materials and
manufacturing technologies. These include C/C, C/SiC, SiC/SiC, SiC/C,
armoring materials, carbon and ceramic fibers, understanding of resin
systems, CVD/CVI, reaction bonding, carbides, and silicates. Requires
ability to support research, attend technical meetings, read
scientific journals and incorporate this knowledge into the
development of materials based on understanding of applications and
customer requirements. Requires knowledge of export control
regulations and ability to function within these constraints.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities includ Principal
Accountabilities:
Provide support in activities with SGL Technology and Innovation
engineers for technology exchange, idea generation, problem solving
and alignment of technical goals and objectives.

Provide manufacturing support including bringing startup and R&D
programs from lab to production.

Interact with customers in developing product performance
requirements, conducting technical presentations, and support final
designs.

Support department activities to fabricate and develop new products
and processes, improve production techniques, develop characterization
and test procedures, define and document process parameters and
product specifications.

Ensure processes and procedures comply with all regulatory
requirements including Export Control Regulations, OSHA and internal
HSEQ requirements.

Shared Accountabilities:
Develop a property database for advanced ceramics by coordinating
testing of materials.

Prepare and provide technical direction in the form of detailed work
instructions and designs to technicians.

Provide technical and engineering support with the startup group and
customers.

Support lean and six sigma efforts for production.

Develop and optimize processing parameters for high temperature
