Job Title: Material Engineer

Location: Ajao Estate, Lagos
Employment Type: Full-time

Duties
The Material Engineer typically will do the following:

Plan and evaluate new projects, consulting with other engineers and managers as necessary
Prepare proposals and budgets, analyze labor costs, write reports, and perform other managerial tasks
Supervise the work of technologists, technicians, and other engineers and scientists
Design and direct the testing of processing procedures

Material engineers create and study materials at the atomic level. They use computers to understand and model the characteristics of materials and their components. They solve problems in several different engineering fields, such as mechanical, chemical, electrical, civil, nuclear, and aerospace.
Materials engineers may specialize in understanding specific types of materials. The following are examples of types of materials engineers:
- Ceramic engineers develop ceramic materials and the processes for making them into useful products, from high-temperature rocket nozzles to glass for LCD flat-panel displays.
- Composite engineers develop materials with special, engineered properties for applications in aircraft, automobiles, and related products.
- Metallurgical engineers specialize in metals, such as steel and aluminium, usually in alloyed form with additions of other elements to provide specific properties.
- Plastics engineers develop and test new plastics, known as polymers, for new applications.
- Semiconductor processing engineers apply materials science and engineering principles to develop new microelectronic materials for computing, sensing, and related applications.
