Summer 2027 Process Engineer - Metallurgy Intern

Proven to Perform.
From the edges of space to the bottoms of ocean, our materials are proven to perform -- and so is our team. We're hiring high performers as proven as our products. Join us.

At ATI, we engineer specialty materials that power the next generation of aircraft, spacecraft, surgical implants, and energy systems. As a Process Engineering – Metallurgy Intern, you’ll work alongside Engineering and Operations teams at our Baker’s South facility to analyze manufacturing processes, improve product quality, and solve real-world metallurgical challenges. You’ll apply your materials science and metallurgy coursework to projects that support product consistency, process improvement, and manufacturing performance.

Depending on your project assignment, you may:

• Optimize forge sizes and removal envelopes to improve product quality and bring material within required tolerances.
• Conduct data analysis on batches with poor sonic performance, including indications or reduced scan speeds, to investigate potential causes.
• Support cut quality improvement initiatives involving abrasive and band saws.
• Analyze manufacturing data to identify trends and opportunities for process and product improvement.
• Partner with Engineering and Operations teams to investigate quality concerns and develop practical solutions.

1. Hands-on experience applying materials science and metallurgy principles in a manufacturing environment.
2. Practical experience with forging, product tolerances, and material removal processes.
3. Experience using data analysis to investigate product quality and process performance.
4. Exposure to sonic inspection performance and quality-related manufacturing challenges.
5. Experience supporting cut quality improvements involving abrasive and band saw equipment.
6. Opportunities to collaborate with Engineering and Operations teams on real-world manufacturing projects.
7. Experience developing practical solutions to process and product quality challenges.
8. Potential opportunity to transition into a full-time Process Metallurgy or Process Engineering position at ATI after graduation.

• Currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in Materials Science, Metallurgy, or a related Engineering discipline.
• Rising junior or senior preferred.
• Coursework or academic experience in materials science and metallurgy.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to analyze data and identify trends or potential causes of process variation.
• Interest in manufacturing processes, metallurgy, and continuous improvement.
• Ability to work collaboratively with Engineering and Operations teams.
• Willingness to work in a manufacturing and shop-floor environment.
