Job Type

Full-time

Description

With ten manufacturing facilities globally located in the US, UK, Italy, China, Japan, and India, and with over 2,000 employees, Carlisle Brake & Friction is the leading provider of high performance braking solutions to the off-highway, high performance racing, aerospace, and alternative energy markets, serving over 100 leading original equipment manufacturers in 55 countries.

Carlisle Brake & Friction designs and manufactures a full solution set of braking products. These include: dry disc caliper brakes, drum brakes and mechanical brakes for both service and park applications. Additionally, we manufacture both wet and dry friction materials used for wet brakes, brake linings, clutches and transmissions. We also design and deliver hydraulic actuation, including hydraulic valves, master cylinders, adjustors, and boosted master cylinders.

Requirements

Minimum of a Bachelors Degree, in Materials Science, Metallurgy, Paper Science, Physics, Composite Materials & Structures, or Chemical Engineering. Masters or Advanced Technical Degree in these fields preferred, but not required.

Job Purpose Statement:

Develop and help successfully launch new semi-metallic and non-asbestos organic friction materials for Carlisle's extensive customer base.
Personal

Characteristics: Must be an excellent communicator, facilitator and coach to technicians, as well as possess strong analytical abilities. Must be amenable to using proper documentation for test requests, test results and project documentation. Must be able to demonstrate working knowledge in all disciplines of world-class research and development techniques. Must have strong analytical skills, along with a working knowledge of dynamometers, test equipment and computers. A team approach to problem solving is important. Individual must be a motivated self-starter with the ability to work independently and/or in a cross-functional work team environment.

Work Experience: Minimum of 5 to 7 years experience in compounding/formulating, product development, testing, and launch of materials. Position requires a strong theoretical knowledge of physical properties and materials science relating to the use of such materials in friction material composites. Analytical evaluation typically includes DSC, TGA, FTIR, GC Mass spectroscopy, elemental and phase identification, particle size, optical and electron microscopy, particle sizing and compound identification. Experience with the use of these materials in friction applications such as brakes, clutches and drivetrains is a plus. Some experience with carbonaceous and ceramic and other material systems is helpful. Familiarity with powder metal processing and sintering is required. Practical experience with the use of Six Sigma techniques is desirable but not essential as formal on-site training is available and encouraged. A history of successful commercialization of metallic friction materials is preferred.

Principal Area of Responsibility:

The emphasis of this position is the development of new products and processes rather than basic research. An orientation towards working within a structured product design process is important. The individual would be responsible for the development of new products and new processes as well as the evaluation of current products or process to meet customer requirements. Responsibilities include assisting manufacturing facilities with the implementation of new products or processes, and providing technical assistance to Sales Managers and Product Managers. The individual will also work with customer engineering departments on technical data and the application of new or revised products.

Specific Duties:

•Develop friction materials in transmission and brakes for off highway (mining, construction, agriculture), aircraft, power sports, heavy truck, and industrial applications. This will include supervising and some pilot/fabricating of test materials manufactured in plant environments.

o Experience in a metallic or powdered metallurgy environment.

o Position requires a strong theoretical knowledge of steels, non-ferrous powder metallurgy and friction characteristics associated with brakes, clutches and drive trains.

§ Some experience with ceramics, polymers and other material systems is helpful.

•Have the ability to use concepts and tools of Six Sigma as a means to develop materials to meet customer requirements. These can include Design of Experiments (DOE), DFMEA, and the ability to understand a QFD (Quality Functional Deployment) to establish customer critical requirements.

•Interfaces with sales personnel in customer visits when necessary. Object is to understand conditions under which the manufactured parts must operate in the longer term.

•Interfaces with production engineering to introduce and further develop new materials.

•Assist production when difficulties occur in manufacturing parts in the engineer's product area.

•Interfaces with test engineers to develop new test methods and procedures as well as communicating how test data is analyzed and presented.

•Assist quality control when necessary.

•Assist with the creation and maintenance of ISO/QS documentation and control systems.
