Full Job Description

We are seeking a highly qualified PhD-level researcher or materials scientist with expertise in ceramics, additive manufacturing, piezoelectric materials, or related disciplines to lead a six-month research initiative focused on developing an innovative, low-cost manufacturing process for large-format textured piezoelectric ceramics for next-generation undersea sensor systems. This role is designed as a part-time, project-based award supporting early-stage feasibility validation of robocasting/direct ink writing (DIW) processes for Navy-relevant piezoelectric ceramic applications. The selected awardee will investigate scalable manufacturing pathways capable of modernizing a legacy supplier base while enhancing acoustic and electrical sensor performance.

About Aim Point Innovation LLC

Executive consulting and general government contracting services.

Description

Primary Objective

Develop and validate a flexible additive manufacturing approach using robocasting or direct ink writing to produce large-format, high-density piezoelectric ceramic components with aligned microstructures (textured ceramics) that exceed the performance of conventional dry-pressed ceramics used in undersea sonar and sensor systems.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Research & Development

Design and formulate shear-thinning ceramic paste/slurry systems compatible with Navy piezoelectric ceramic materials.
Develop robocasting or direct ink writing methods for consistent layer-by-layer extrusion and structural build-up.
Investigate binder systems, solids loading, rheology, and nozzle geometries to optimize manufacturability.
Evaluate methods to align high aspect ratio ceramic platelets during extrusion to create textured microstructures.
Produce prototype samples in multiple geometries, including:
Cylinders (~1 OD)
Rings (>4 OD)
Conduct or oversee binder burnout, sintering, densification, electrode application, and poling.

Analysis, Modeling & Validation

Model material flow, particle alignment, and print dynamics to assess process feasibility.
Characterize printed and sintered parts for:
Density
Surface finish
Grain/particle alignment
Texture fraction
Capacitance (>200 pF target)
Dielectric constant
Loss tangent minimization
Acoustic and resonance performance
Compare additive-manufactured textured ceramics against traditional non-textured baselines.

Deliverables

Phase I feasibility concept and technical approach
Initial prototype geometries and performance data
Recommendations for Phase II hardware design specifications
Final technical report summarizing:
Material formulation
Manufacturing process
Performance outcomes
Risks and transition recommendations

Required Qualifications

PhD (completed or ABD with strong publication record) in:
Materials Science
Ceramic Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Additive Manufacturing
Chemical Engineering
Physics (materials-focused)
Demonstrated expertise in one or more:
Piezoelectric ceramics
Robocasting / Direct Ink Writing
Rheology of ceramic slurries
Sintering and densification
Microstructural characterization
Functional ceramics or sonar materials
Experience with technical writing for SBIR/STTR, DoD, ONR, or Navy programs preferred
Familiarity with lead-based ceramics, textured ceramics, or anisotropic particulate systems strongly preferred

Preferred Skills

COMSOL, ANSYS, or similar modeling tools
SEM/XRD/EBSD or other microstructure analysis techniques
Electrical/acoustic characterization of piezoelectric materials
Prototype fabrication and laboratory scale-up planning
Technology transition strategy for defense or commercial sectors

Expected Outcomes

By the end of the six-month period, the awardee should demonstrate:

Feasibility of a DIW/robocasting process for Navy piezoelectric ceramics
Viable pathway to large-format textured ceramic production
Prototype parts suitable for Government evaluation
Clear roadmap for Phase II prototype hardware

Strategic Impact

This research directly supports:

Navy undersea warfare modernization
Supply chain resilience for critical sonar materials
Enhanced sensor detection range (targeting significant acoustic performance gains)
Dual-use commercialization opportunities in:
Medical ultrasound
Civilian sonar/navigation
Infrastructure inspection
Advanced aerospace ceramics

Time Commitment

Estimated 15–25 hours/week over 6 months
Flexible scheduling with milestone-based deliverables

Compensation

Competitive project-based award commensurate with expertise, facilities access, and technical scope
Potential continuation into larger Phase II and Phase III opportunities based on successful outcomes

Ideal Candidate Profile

A technically entrepreneurial researcher capable of bridging advanced materials science with practical manufacturing innovation, while supporting national defense modernization and future commercial transition.
