Job Description
Roles and Responsibilities
Leverages expertise in one or more coatings and surface engineering areas, such as thermal spray (HVOF, plasma, cold spray), electron beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD), diffusion/aluminide coatings, slurry and sol-gel coatings, thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), environmental barrier coatings (EBCs), plating, and other surface treatments.
Develops coating process methods, masking/tooling and fixtures, programming, and production coating operations. Applies surface engineering techniques that improve hardware producibility and durability at the design phase and process development at the production phase.
Leads efforts with Design Engineering to implement "Design for Producibility" for coated components, fabrications, tooling, and assemblies. This includes assessing coatability/producibility, evaluating drawings and coating callouts, contributing to MRL projects for new coating hardware/technologies, creating/reviewing coating process schedules and routers, estimating should-costs, estimating lead times, and developing quality plans.
Assists Edison Works Supply Chain in program reviews to ensure coatings and surface treatment manufacturing considerations are addressed.

Manages integrated schedules, aligns cross-functional teams, and ensures on-time, at-cost execution of commitments.
Acts as a key interface with DoD customers, managing contractual obligations and fostering clear communication across stakeholders.
