About this role
Company Overview
Alloyed is a young venture-funded company of about 300 world-class metallurgists, engineers, and software developers working across the UK, Japan and the US to build the future of advanced metal components and systems. To do this, Alloyed uses proprietary software packages which combine advanced machine learning and physical modelling to invent better alloys, devise better ways to process them, and design better 3D-printed components and assemblies.
Alloyed is composed of a range of divisions, enabling metal technology from composition to systems:
- Core Technology: Alloyed's internal research and technology hub, focused on creating the new alloys, manufacturing methods, digital tools and intellectual property that will power the company's future products and capabilities.
- Innovation Services: Work directly with customers to develop, optimise and qualify materials and manufacturing processes for demanding aerospace, defence, energy and industrial applications.
- Component Engineering: Design, manufacture and validate production-ready components, turning material and process innovations into high-performance hardware for customer applications.
- Argive: Develop and manufacture complete microturbine engine systems under ambitious timelines and customer expectations, enabled by Alloyed’s software stack, proprietary Alloys and AM processing capabilities.

Role Overview
Materials science sits at the heart of everything we do. Alloyed materials engineers invent new alloys, develop advanced manufacturing processes, solve qualification challenges, and help bring entirely new products into production.
We're looking for curious, ambitious engineers who enjoy tackling difficult technical problems and want to push the limits of what metals can do.
As part of our materials engineering team, you'll work across Alloyed's divisions, taking ownership of real engineering challenges from day one. You'll collaborate with materials, manufacturing, software and mechanical engineers to develop new materials and manufacturing technologies for some of the world's most demanding applications.
---
What you'll work on:
You could be involved in projects such as:
- Designing a new printable nickel superalloy for high-temperature turbine components, taking it from computational alloy design through laboratory development and full-scale component testing.
- Qualifying flight-critical aerospace hardware, generating the material and process data required to support certification and production release.
- Solving manufacturing challenges such as cracking, porosity or distortion in metal additive manufacturing processes through experimentation, data analysis and process development.
---
Responsibilities
- Rapid, iterative, application-driven development of novel alloys, and application of pre-existing alloys to novel commercial use-cases.
- Optimisation of AM processing parameters, both for application-specific use cases and broader usage.
- Application of materials understanding to additive manufacturing of new alloys and systems, to build Alloyed’s world-leading portfolio of processable materials.
- Communication with customers and suppliers to ensure timely delivery of services and products, including reporting and presentation of complex technical content in a digestible manner.
---
Essential skills
- Completed or currently studying towards a degree in Materials Science, Metallurgy, or a related discipline.
- Strong intuition for metallurgical mechanisms, applicable across a range of alloy systems.
- Excellent problem-solving ability and the capability of converting complex data into actions with practical solutions.
- Adaptable, organised, and able to prioritise multiple workstreams.
- Motivation to undertake practical work to ensure timely delivery of results.
Desired skills
- Knowledge or experience of one or more of the following industries: aerospace, automotive, robotics or consumer electronics
- Good familiarity with one or more engineering alloy systems, such as nickel, aluminium, magnesium, iron, titanium, copper, platinum, or lightweight high entropy alloys
- Experience with high-level programming languages such as Python and MATLAB
- Knowledge of a wide variety of manufacturing methods (casting, forging, etc.)
- Knowledge and understanding of metal AM processes
- Experience in materials modelling e.g. CALPHAD, DFT, atomistic simulation
