At Pratt & Whitney, the difference you make is on display every day. Just look up. Are you ready to go beyond?

Department Overview:

The Process Chemistry Group in Pratt & Whitney’s Materials and Processes Engineering Department is seeking a skilled Electrochemistry/Corrosion Scientist to work with chemists and chemical engineers on projects related to corrosion.

It is critical that the candidate has the ability to perform research and analysis to solve a wide range of problems in corrosion science related to aerospace coatings and alloys, such as aluminum, nickel, and titanium.

The candidate will be able to analyze possible solutions and make recommendations for process improvement and extract information from existing databases or literature to perform reviews.

The candidate will be able to perform process/product development and testing and assessing chemical processes related to electrochemistry.

Experience with corrosion prediction and modeling software tools is desirable.

The candidate will interface with the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Energy (DOE) and NASA customers & technical community to seek, secure and execute contracts as related to corrosion engineering.

Candidate should be familiar with working protocols in a chemical laboratory.

Key Responsibilities:

• Electrochemical parameter setup and testing including the use of potentiostats & corrosion chambers.

• Troubleshooting and identifying corrosion related problems.

• Understanding and related experience with electrochemical corrosion protection coatings, such as: electroplating, anodizing, electroless plating, CVD, PVD, paints, and other corrosion resistant coatings.

• Practical laboratory experience in the following: characterization/metallography (sectioning, mounting, polishing, microscopy), wet chemistry, and optical microscopy.

• Must have a deep knowledge of the fundamental physics and chemistry surrounding corrosion & oxidation mechanisms and understand the impact of chemistry, processing and environment on material performance and durability.

• Identify, develop, and validate novel testing protocols as well as modeling capabilities to better predict component durability (i.e., corrosion resistance) in the various field environments that our gas turbine engines operate.

• Experience in testing, characterization, and data analysis of different environmental contaminants at different temperatures as related to corrosion & oxidation on aerospace materials.

• Ability to work independently with minimal management supervision or direction.

• Ability to effectively communicate and team with a wide variety of individuals from technicians to executive level staff.

• Ability to be flexible with organizational workload demands and changing requirements.

• Ability to work on long-term and short-term projects simultaneously, proven multi-tasking ability.

• Strong analytical/problem solving skills

• 10% Travel Required

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Science Degree in chemical engineering, chemistry, materials science or related corrosion field

• 10+ years of practical electrochemistry/corrosion science experience OR 7+ years of practical electrochemistry/corrosion science experience with an Advanced Degree

• US Citizenship or US Person is required due to government contracts

What is my role type?

In addition to transforming the future of flight, we are also transforming how and where we work. We’ve introduced role types to help you understand how you will operate in our blended work environment. This role is:

Hybrid: Employees who are working in Hybrid roles will work regularly both onsite and offsite. This means that responsibilities of the job need to be performed onsite on a regular basis.

Candidates will learn more about role type and current site status throughout the recruiting process. For onsite and hybrid roles, commuting to and from the assigned site is the employee’s personal responsibility.

Raytheon Technologies is An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or veteran status, age or any other federally protected class.
