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).
