- Responsibilities, authorities and accountabilities

Coating Process Engineering:
- Develop, optimize, and standardize coating processes including aluminum-platinum deposition, diffusion heat treatment.
- Define and control process parameters to ensure coating quality, adhesion, thickness uniformity, and compliance with specifications.
- Prepare and maintain detailed process documentation (e.g., work instructions, control plans, technical specifications).

Thermal Spray Operations (HVOF & APS):
- Manage setup and operation of HVOF and APS coating systems.
- Monitor and troubleshoot spray parameters, equipment performance, and powder feed systems to maintain process integrity.
- Ensure safety compliance and equipment calibration in accordance with industry standards.

Quality & Metallurgical Support:
- Work closely with the quality and materials engineering teams to analyze coating defects, microstructures, and process-related anomalies.
- Coordinate root cause analysis (RCA) and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).





New Process Introduction & Continuous Improvement:
- Lead the industrialization of new coating technologies or upgrades, from development to full-scale production.
- Drive process improvements in terms of cycle time, yield, repeatability, and environmental compliance.
- Collaborate with R&D;, design engineering, and external suppliers as needed.
- Master’s degree in Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Chemical Engineering or equivalent demonstrated hands-on experience
- Solid experience in coating processes for aerospace or energy sector, particularly gas turbines.
- Technical expertise in: Aluminum-platinum deposition and diffusion, Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) and Atmospheric Plasma Spray (APS) spraying techniques
- Strong understanding of coating microstructures, thermal protection, oxidation/corrosion resistance, and adhesion mechanisms.
- Familiarity with metrology, NDT, and metallurg
