Position Type: Full time: 1st Shift

About TRS Technologies

TRS Technologies, a subsidiary of TAYCA Corporation, is a world leader in piezoelectric materials technology. We offer advanced piezoelectric materials to meet our customers’ most challenging specifications. Working directly with our customers, we develop and manufacture high performance and high tolerance components designed to requirements. At TRS, you will be part of a team delivering custom solutions for our customers in Medical Ultrasound, Semiconductor, Industrial sensors, and other industries. In your work, you will define the future of piezoelectric technology.

TRS Technologies offers a competitive salary commensurate with experience, health benefits and retirement plan.

TRS Technologies is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer.

POSITION SUMMARY

We are seeking a highly motivated Piezoelectric Ceramic Engineer to join our advanced materials team. The engineer will be responsible for developing, optimizing, and scaling processing techniques for lead-based piezoelectric ceramics, ensuring high performance, yield, and reliability in production. This role bridges R&D and manufacturing, focusing on ceramic powder preparation, forming, sintering, electrode integration, and characterization to support next-generation piezoelectric materials.

ESSENTIAL RESPONSIBILITIES:

Develop and optimize ceramic processing routes (powder synthesis, milling, spray drying, pressing, wet and dry green forming, etc.) for piezoelectric ceramic materials.

Establish sintering schedules and thermal processing conditions to achieve targeted microstructures and electromechanical properties.
Characterize ceramic materials (density, grain size, phase purity, dielectric/piezoelectric properties) and correlate with processing parameters.
Conduct comprehensive powder and microstructural characterization of ceramics—including particle size distribution, SEM, EDS, and XRD—and establish correlations with processing parameters
Execute process trials, root cause analysis, and implement corrective actions to improve quality, consistency, and yield.
Scale laboratory processes to pilot and production environments while maintaining cost and efficiency targets.
Document experimental results, prepare technical reports, and present findings to cross-functional teams and management.

o Apply statistical methods (including control charts and data correlation) to monitor, interpret, and optimize production performance.

QUALIFICATIONS

o U.S. Citizen Or Permanent Resident status is required.

o BS in Materials Science and Engineering, Ceramic Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related field.

o Hands-on experience in ceramic processing, preferably with piezoelectric oxides is a plus.

o Strong knowledge of powder synthesis, forming methods (uniaxial/isostatic pressing), thermal processing.

o Hands-on experience with SEM, EDS, and XRD for microstructural and phase analysis of ceramic materials.

o Familiarity with electrode techniques (sputtering, screen printing, plating) and ceramic-metal integration.

o Proficiency in electrical characterization tools (impedance analysis, ferroelectric/piezoelectric testing).

o Time Management skills and ability to stay focused and productive on company objectives and changing priorities.

Experience with Minitab, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access, a plus.

o 3 years’ experience in a manufacturing environment is a plus.

SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, AND ABILITIES

Good oral and written communication skills.

Ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with all levels of the organization, particularly Manufacturing, Planning, and Quality.
Ability to perform in a high-energy, team-oriented environment. Should demonstrate the ability to logically approach and solve problems.
