| Aspect | Entry Level Material Science Engineering | Entry Level Metallurgical Engineering |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Bachelor's in Materials Science, Engineering, or related field | Bachelor's in Metallurgical Engineering or Materials Science |
| Work Environment | Research labs, manufacturing plants, R&D departments | Mining sites, metal production facilities, manufacturing plants |
| Industry Usage | Automotive, aerospace, electronics, consumer products | Mining, metal extraction, alloy development, manufacturing |
Entry Level Material Science Engineering and Entry Level Metallurgical Engineering share foundational knowledge and often overlap in industries like manufacturing and R&D. However, Material Science focuses more on the properties and applications of materials, while Metallurgical Engineering emphasizes metal extraction and processing. Both roles typically require a bachelor's degree and involve work in labs or industrial settings, but their specific industry applications differ slightly.

From Concept to Production, Innovation Begins with a Porex Partnership
When products need to manage the flow of liquids, air, and particles, the stakes are high. Performance, safety, and reliability all depend on getting it right. Porex partners with companies across industries––including manufacturers of medical devices, diagnostics, consumer goods, electronics, automotive parts, and more––to solve those challenges. We co-create precision-engineered components from early concept through full-scale production. With decades of material science expertise, ISO-certified facilities worldwide, and support reaching more than 65 countries, we help customers bring breakthrough innovations to market consistently and confidently.
This position, located at our Fairburn, GA facility, will support the Materials Innovation team in the development and characterization of advanced porous materials for healthcare, diagnostics, life sciences, consumer, and industrial applications. The role provides hands-on experience in research and development through laboratory testing, analytical characterization, biological evaluation, and product development activities.
Students will work alongside experienced scientists and engineers on customer-focused innovation projects while gaining exposure to advanced laboratory instrumentation and experimental methods.
Responsibilities
Job functions include, but are not limited to:
• Perform hands-on laboratory testing in materials characterization and application development laboratories.
• Prepare samples and conduct physical, analytical, and biological testing on porous materials and prototype products.
• Assist engineers in designing experiments and developing test methods using Design of Experiments (DOE) principles.
• Operate laboratory equipment following established procedures and safety protocols.
• Analyze experimental results using statistical and data analysis tools.
• Prepare technical reports, presentations, and documentation to communicate findings.
• Collaborate with engineers and scientists to support customer development projects and new technology initiatives.
• Maintain laboratory organization, equipment, and documentation following Good Laboratory Practices (GLP).
Preferred fields of study
• Materials Science & Engineering
• Chemical Engineering
• Biomedical Engineering
• Biological Sciences
• Other related Engineering or Science disciplines
Preferred Qualifications:
• Sophomore or Junior standing in an undergraduate program
• Ability to commit to a minimum of 3 Co-op rotations
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Interest in research, product development, laboratory experimentation, and data analysis
• Experience with laboratory equipment or scientific software is beneficial but not required
