Quality Engineering Intern
Combined Metals Company, LLC
Date: 6 hours ago
City: Elgin, Illinois
Contract type: Full time
Job Details
Description
Combined Metals is a premier North American processor and distributor of specialty strip and wire built through 50 years of growth and acquisition. Combined Metals is the largest independent processor and distributor of specialty strip and wire in North America. With nine service centers, Combined Metals supports over 3,000 customers in the Aerospace, Defense, Nuclear, Medical, Petrochemical, Oil & Gas, Electrification, Automotive, and Consumer industries. Decades of quality and reliability have made Combined Metals a chosen source in performance applications.
Our Elgin manufacturing sites produces a wide range of Steel, Titanium, Nickel, and Cobalt metal alloys for Aerospace, Nuclear, Oil & Gas and medical devices applications. These high-performance alloys can be used in extreme environments such as high-temperature jet engine turbine components or the highly corrosive components in Gas & Oil applications. To achieve the correct final metal properties our manufacturing team follows a very specific set of parameters (process routes) during our cold rolling and heat treatment operations. With more than 50 different alloys and hundreds of specific process routes, maintaining and developing new process routes becomes very time consuming and error prone. For example, for almost every new order the sales, production control and operation teams must create a new processing recipe.
Therefore, there is an opportunity to create standardization between process routes and hierarchy system that facilitates the creation of new process routes and updating existing ones. The candidate will focus on developing a standard part system for metal manufacturing routes at Elgin, by analyzing data and mapping and optimizing processes. A similar system already exists in our Hampshire sister location and the candidate will work on transferring the structure and best practices already established at this location.
To be successful, the candidate will need to gain knowledge in metal manufacturing (cold rolling, heat treatment, slitting) as well as other support areas, such as quality, production control and scheduling. The candidate will have access to our manufacturing floor and be able to see first-hand our equipment and operations.
This is critical project that will have an immediate impact in our company.
