About the Job The HS Material Application Technology Team is part of the HS Applied Technology Lab, which conducts R&D; on next-generation high-functional materials for LG's product lineup.

The R&D; lab under the HS Company is responsible for bridging advanced material research to commercial product application.

We are seeking a skilled materials engineer who will evaluate and develop advanced material application solutions, validate performance in real-world product environments,



and bridge the gap between material discovery and commercial product integration.

Responsibilities

- Material Evaluation & Characterization
- Evaluate mechanical properties (tensile strength, elongation, hardness, fatigue, impact resistance) of high-strength polymers, composites, and ferrous / non-ferrous alloys.
- Conduct accelerated life testing and environmental stress screening to validate material durability.
- Perform finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate material behavior under load and optimize part design.

- Application Development

- Develop and validate material specification sheets for LG components.
- Prototype parts using injection molding, CNC machining, additive manufacturing, or other fabrication methods.
- Support DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and PFMEA (Process FMEA) for material-related risks.

- Cross-Functional Collaboration

- Work closely with material suppliers and internal research teams on material qualification and sourcing.
- Provide material application expertise to design, quality, and manufacturing teams throughout product development cycles.
- Translate material test results and design feedback into actionable engineering recommendations.

- Documentation & Compliance

- Maintain Material Master Data and Bill of Materials documentation in PLM systems.
- Ensure all developed materials and processes meet regulatory requirements (KC, UL, RoHS, REACH) and internal LG standards.

- Continuous Improvement





- Monitor emerging high-strength material technologies (advanced thermoplastics, nanocomposites, fiber-reinforced materials) and assess their commercial viability.
- Contribute to processing innovation proposals and patent filings related to material applications.

Technical Requirements

- M.Tech (Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related field) ideally from reputed institutes (NITs / IITs).
- 1+ years of relevant experience in materials evaluation, application engineering.
- Practical experience with high-performance engineering plastics (e.g., PEEK, ULTEM, CFRP, metal alloys).
- Familiarity with automotive-grade or consumer electronics material standards (e.g., IATF 16949, IEC 62368).
- Project lead or subject matter expert experience in new material introduction programs.
- Patent writing or IP management experience.
- Experience in CAE/FEA tools (e.g., Ansys, Abaqus, or LS-DYNA); hands-on experience with material testing per ASTM/ISO standards; working knowledge of PLM systems (Teamcenter).
- GD&T; (ASME Y14.5), Six Sigma Green Belt or equivalent preferred.
- Fluent in Business-level English; Korean language skills are a plus.

Core Competencies and Working Attitude

- Technical Aptitude: Deep understanding of material behavior and mechanical engineering principles.
- Problem Solving: Analytical approach to determine root cause and drive corrective action.
- Communication: Clear documentation and presentation of technical findings to cross-functional audiences.
- Ownership: Self-motivated with ability to manage multiple projects from concept to deployment under deadline pressure.
- Collaboration: Comfort working in a matrixed R&D; environment with engineers from diverse domains.
