Applied Material Engineer

• Material Evaluation & Characterization
  • Evaluate mechanical properties (tensile strength, elongation, hardness, fatigue, impact resistance) of high-strength polymers, composites, and ferrous / non-ferrous alloys.
  • Conduct accelerated life testing and environmental stress screening to validate material durability.
  • Perform finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate material behavior under load and optimize part design.
• Application Development
  • Develop and validate material specification sheets for LG components.
  • Prototype parts using injection molding, CNC machining, additive manufacturing, or other fabrication methods.
  • Support DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and PFMEA (Process FMEA) for material-related risks.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Work closely with material suppliers and internal research teams on material qualification and sourcing.
  • Provide material application expertise to design, quality, and manufacturing teams throughout product development cycles.
  • Translate material test results and design feedback into actionable engineering recommendations.
• Documentation & Compliance
  • Maintain Material Master Data and Bill of Materials documentation in PLM systems.
  • Ensure all developed materials and processes meet regulatory requirements (KC, UL, RoHS, REACH) and internal LG standards.
• Continuous Improvement
  • Monitor emerging high-strength material technologies (advanced thermoplastics, nanocomposites, fiber-reinforced materials) and assess their commercial viability.
  • Contribute to processing innovation proposals and patent filings related to material applications.

• M.Tech (MechanicalEngineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering, orrelated field) ideally from reputed institutes (NITs / IITs).
• 1+ years ofrelevant experience in materials evaluation, application engineering.
• Practicalexperience with high-performance engineering plastics (e.g., PEEK, ULTEM, CFRP,metal alloys).
• Familiaritywith automotive-grade or consumer electronics material standards (e.g., IATF16949, IEC 62368).
• Projectlead or subject matter expert experience in new material introduction programs.
• Patentwriting or IP management experience.
• Experience inCAE/FEA tools (e.g., Ansys, Abaqus, or LS-DYNA); hands-on experience withmaterial testing per ASTM/ISO standards; working knowledge of PLM systems(Teamcenter).
• GD&T (ASMEY14.5), Six Sigma Green Belt or equivalent preferred.
• Fluent inBusiness-level English; Korean language skills are a plus.

• Technical Aptitude: Deep understanding of material behavior and mechanical engineering principles.
• Problem Solving: Analytical approach to determine root cause and drive corrective action.
• Communication: Clear documentation and presentation of technical findings to cross-functional audiences.
• Ownership: Self-motivated with ability to manage multiple projects from concept to deployment under deadline pressure.
• Collaboration: Comfort working in a matrixed R&D environment with engineers from diverse domains.
