Alloyed is a young venture-funded company of around 100 world-class metallurgists, mechanical engineers, technicians, and software developers working across three offices in the UK and one in the US, building the future of advanced metal components. We use proprietary software packages which combine advanced machine learning and physical modelling, as well as extensive experimental facilities, to 3D print metal components better and faster than anyone else.
At our premises in Yarnton and Abingdon, near Oxford, we are aiming to build the world’s fastest, smartest, and best-equipped facility for the rapid development of additively manufactured parts for the electronics, aerospace and industrial sectors, and novel metal alloys for better performance.
Responsibilities
- Rapid, iterative, application-driven development of novel alloys, and application of pre-existing alloys to novel commercial use-cases.
- Development and validation of materials models for Alloyed’s computational Alloys-by-Design® software platform.
- Application of materials understanding to additive manufacture of new alloys and systems, to build Alloyed’s world-leading portfolio of processable materials.
- Communication with customers and suppliers to ensure timely delivery of services and products, including reporting and presentation of complex technical content in a digestible manner.
Essential skills
- Strong technical background with a degree in Materials Science, Metallurgy (or similar) (2:1 minimum)
- Strong intuition for metallurgical mechanisms, applicable across a range of alloy systems.
- Excellent problem-solving ability and capable of converting complex data into actions with practical solutions.
- Adaptable, organised, and able to prioritise multiple workstreams
- Motivation to undertake practical work when required to ensure timely delivery of results.
Desired skills
- Knowledge or experience of one or more of the following industries: aerospace, automotive, orthopaedics or consumer electronics
- Good familiarity with one or more engineering alloy systems, such as aluminium, magnesium, iron, nickel, titanium, copper, platinum, or lightweight high entropy alloys
- Experience with high-level programming languages such as Python and MATLAB
- Knowledge of a wide variety of manufacturing methods (casting, forging, etc.)
- Knowledge and understanding of metal AM processes
- Experience in materials modelling e.g. CALPHAD, DFT, atomistic
