Job Description

Lead Metallurgical Process Engineer – Metallurgy, Heavy Forging

Westinghouse Electric Company

• Define the process flow for ultra-large forging operations: melting, casting, ingot conditioning, forging sequences, and heat treatment. • Study existing world-class facilities to understand current best practice, and then systematically challenge assumptions about why each process step exists and how it should be executed. • Understand the process steps, parameters, and physical/chemical phenomena that drive homogenization and impurity removal during large ingot casting. • Develop forging process models from first principles: deformation mechanics, thermal profiles, microstructural evolution, and die design for components including reactor pressure vessel shells, steam generator forgings, turbine rotor shafts, and defense applications. • Identify opportunities to fundamentally improve quality, energy consumption, and capital equipment requirements relative to existing global benchmarks. • Collaborate with the project team to produce equipment cost and construction schedule estimates to drive project stage gate deliverables. • Develop the preliminary process design basis document that will feed into detailed engineering for the melting, forging, and heat treatment shops. • Interface with Japanese and allied technical partners to absorb operational knowledge while maintaining an independent, critical perspective on process design.

Job Requirements

  • Deep understanding of the process steps, parameters, and physical/chemical phenomena that drive homogenization and purity during from stock materials through large ingot casting.
  • Deep understanding of grain structure formation as a function of heat treatment parameters
  • Deep understanding of the thermomechanics of open-die forging, including deformation behavior of low-alloy and stainless steels at forging temperatures, grain refinement mechanisms, and the relationship between forging parameters and final mechanical properties.
  • Experience with large-scale metal forming, heat treatment, or steelmaking processes—ideally in an environment that valued process optimization and cost discipline, not just process execution.
  • A demonstrated track record of challenging conventional approaches and developing novel process solutions based on fundamental understanding rather than precedent.
  • Comfort operating as the domain expert on a team of sharp generalists who will constantly ask “why?”—and the intellectual humility to say “I don’t know yet, let’s figure it out.”
  • 7–15 years of experience. We are specifically looking for someone who has enough depth to be authoritative but has not spent so long in a single paradigm that they cannot see outside it.
  • Experience in downstream precision machining is a bonus.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation packages
  • 401k with company match
  • Medical, dental, vision plans
  • Generous vacation policy, plus holidays

The ideal candidate will combine deep systems knowledge with strong programming skills, a measurement-driven mindset, and the discipline to design, automate, and operate complex services so that reliability becomes a first-class engineering deliverable rather than a reactive concern. Key Responsibilities - Define, instrument, and continually refine service-level objectives (SLOs), service-level indicators (SLIs), and error budgets for critical services, and use those measures to drive concrete engineering and prioritization decisions. - Lead incident response and resolution for production issues, acting as a calm and effective incident commander when needed, and ensuring high-quality post-incident reviews that drive lasting improvements. - Design and implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and tracing strategies using Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK/EFK, Datadog, or similar tooling so that operators have rich, actionable visibility into system behavior. - Build and maintain robust on-call processes, runbooks, and escalation paths that reduce mean time to detect and mean time to resolve while protecting the well-being of the engineers on rotation. - Automate operational toil aggressively by writing production-grade tooling in Python, Go, Bash, or similar languages, replacing manual workflows with reliable, auditable automation. - Architect and operate large-scale Kubernetes clusters and container-based workloads, including autoscaling, capacity planning, network policy, and integration with service meshes. - Design CI/CD pipelines that promote safe, frequent, and observable releases, supported by automated testing, canary deployments, feature flags, and progressive rollout strategies. - Lead capacity planning and performance engineering activities, building models that predict growth and stress, and validating those models through load testing and chaos experiments. - Partner closely with application development teams to embed reliability practices early in design — including failure-mode analyses, graceful degradation patterns, and dependency hardening. - Strengthen the platform’s resiliency through chaos engineering, fault injection, dependency isolation, retries, timeouts, circuit breakers, and well-tested failover paths. - Drive continuous improvement of security posture in collaboration with security teams, including patch management, vulnerability remediation, and secure-by-default platform defaults. - Contribute to the technical roadmap for reliability tooling, observability platforms, and developer-experience improvements that reduce friction and improve outcomes for engineering teams. - Mentor engineers across the organization on SRE practices and foster a strong, blameless culture of operational excellence. Required Qualifications - Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline. - Five or more years of SRE, DevOps, or production engineering experience supporting large-scale distributed systems. - Strong programming skills in at least one of Python, Go, or Java, with the ability to build robust automation and tooling. - Deep, hands-on experience operating Linux at scale, including networking, performance tuning, and systems-level troubleshooting. - Production experience operating Kubernetes and container-based workloads. - Strong working knowledge of observability tooling such as Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK/EFK, or commercial equivalents. - Hands-on experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines for both infrastructure and applications. - Solid understanding of distributed system design, including consistency models, partitioning, and failure semantics. - Demonstrated experience leading incident response and conducting effective post-incident reviews. - Excellent communication and documentation skills. Preferred Qualifications - Experience defining and operationalizing SLOs and error budgets in real production environments. - Exposure to chaos engineering practices and tools such as Chaos Monkey, Gremlin, or Litmus. - Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP). - Background in capacity planning, performance engineering, or large-scale load testing. - Familiarity with service mesh technologies such as Istio, Linkerd, or Consul.
