Description

Numerous factors are crucial during the manufacturing of a complex superalloy coating. Various properties and performance of coating systems depend on these factors. The intern scientist is tasked with analyzing existing correlations among the functions and dependencies on the factors. They need to recognize patterns and correlations and propose any additional data collection required. Subsequently, they must use such findings and their knowledge of Design of Experiments (DOE) to design any further required experiments.

Responsibilities

Independently or in collaboration with senior members of the team:

• Applies advanced statistical techniques to identify patterns and correlations among data and generates insights in various state‐of‐the‐art super‐alloy systems and coatings.
• Designs, develops, and evaluates experimental models to optimize success in multifactorial experiments.
• Applies advanced statistical techniques, including analysis of variance, multivariate analyses, and other required techniques, to analyze the data and effects of experimentation.
• Assists in performing advanced analysis on real‐world and laboratory data to design new experiments and enhance existing methods.
• Performs data entry and cleaning as needed.

Requirements

• Ideal candidates have or are in the process of obtaining a Master's or PhD in Statistics, Data Science, Computer Science with Data Science emphasis or another field which is highly analytical and quantitative.
• Experience with data cleaning and manipulation.
• Strong oral and written communication skills.
• Deep understanding of Design of Experiments.
• Experience with Microsoft environment: Windows OS, Office 365, Teams, etc.
• Utilize statistical software including SPSS and JMP.
• Have previous experience with multifactorial analysis.
