Turn Materials Science Into Manufacturing Solutions – Intern in Process Metallurgy at ATI

At ATI, we engineer specialty materials that power the next generation of aircraft, spacecraft, surgical implants, and energy systems. As a Process Engineering – Metallurgy Intern, you’ll work alongside Engineering and Operations teams at our Baker’s South facility to analyze manufacturing processes, improve product quality, and solve real-world metallurgical challenges. You’ll apply your materials science and metallurgy coursework to projects that support product consistency, process improvement, and manufacturing performance.

What You’ll Work On

Depending on your project assignment, you may:

• Optimize forge sizes and removal envelopes to improve product quality and bring material within required tolerances.
• Conduct data analysis on batches with poor sonic performance, including indications or reduced scan speeds, to investigate potential causes.
• Support cut quality improvement initiatives involving abrasive and band saws.
• Analyze manufacturing data to identify trends and opportunities for process and product improvement.
• Partner with Engineering and Operations teams to investigate quality concerns and develop practical solutions.

What You’ll Gain

1. Hands-on experience applying materials science and metallurgy principles in a manufacturing environment.
2. Practical experience with forging, product tolerances, and material removal processes.
3. Experience using data analysis to investigate product quality and process performance.
4. Exposure to sonic inspection performance and quality-related manufacturing challenges.
5. Experience supporting cut quality improvements involving abrasive and band saw equipment.
6. Opportunities to collaborate with Engineering and Operations teams on real-world manufacturing projects.
7. Experience developing practical solutions to process and product quality challenges.
8. Potential opportunity to transition into a full-time Process Metallurgy or Process Engineering position at ATI after graduation.
