HTI is seeking an Induction Heat Treat Engineer for JTEKT North America, a global leader in automotive systems, bearing solutions, and high-performance machine tools. As part of a major expansion at its Piedmont, SC facility, JTEKT has added significant new manufacturing capacity, including new machining and assembly lines supporting advanced driveline products.
This is a hands-on process engineering role for someone who understands the science behind heat treatment and can apply it on the manufacturing floor. The Induction Heat Treat Engineer will serve as a technical resource for induction heating, hardening, quenching, and tempering processes , with responsibility for process performance, troubleshooting, tooling, continuous improvement, and new equipment implementation.
What They Offer
Medical, Dental, and Vision Benefits beginning Day 1
401(k) Match
Employer HSA Contributions
Short-Term and Long-Term Disability
Life Insurance
Employee Assistance Program
Wellness Rewards Program
Opportunity to support newly installed manufacturing technology and expanded production capabilities
What You Need
Associate degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology, Materials Science, Metallurgy, or a related technical field; Bachelor's degree preferred
3+ years of experience supporting industrial heat treatment processes
Experience with induction heating or induction hardening strongly preferred
Working knowledge of quenching, tempering, hardness, case depth, and heat-treatment process control
Hands-on experience troubleshooting and improving manufacturing processes
Experience with tooling, fixtures, gauging, or heat-treatment process equipment
Ability to analyze process data and lead root-cause investigations
Experience supporting PFMEA, APQP, control plans, or related automotive quality requirements
Experience with equipment installations, capital projects, process launches, or new product introductions preferred
Automotive, driveline, bearing, gear, shaft, or other precision-component manufacturing experience highly preferred
What Your Role Will Look Like
As the Induction Heat Treat Engineer , you will help own and continuously improve the processes responsible for achieving the required hardness, case depth, durability, and dimensional performance of critical automotive components.
You will work closely with production, quality, maintenance, tooling, and engineering teams to ensure heat-treatment processes remain capable, repeatable, and production-ready.
Key responsibilities include:
Develop, maintain, and optimize induction heating, hardening, quenching, and tempering processes
Establish and improve process parameters to achieve required metallurgical and dimensional characteristics
Troubleshoot issues involving hardness, case depth, distortion, cracking, process variation, tooling, and equipment performance
Lead root-cause analysis and implement corrective actions for heat-treatment-related quality and production concerns
Analyze process and quality data using SPC and other statistical methods to identify trends and improvement opportunities
Support the design, development, testing, and improvement of induction coils, tooling, fixtures, and gauging
Partner with Quality to ensure heat-treatment processes consistently meet product and customer requirements
Support PFMEA, APQP, control plans, process capability studies, and other launch or quality documentation
Provide technical support to production teams during day-to-day manufacturing issues
Develop and standardize heat-treatment process methods, operating parameters, and best practices
Support process changes, new product introductions, equipment installations, commissioning, and production launches
Work with equipment and tooling suppliers to resolve technical issues and improve process performance
Drive improvements in quality, scrap, downtime, cycle time, tooling life, and overall process capability
Provide technical guidance and training to operators, technicians, and other engineering personnel regarding heat-treatment processes
The Right Fit
The strongest candidate will be someone who is comfortable moving between metallurgical principles and hands-on manufacturing problem solving . You should be able to look beyond whether a part simply passes or fails inspection and understand how induction parameters, tooling, quench conditions, material characteristics, and equipment performance affect the final product.
If you have experience owning or improving heat-treatment processes and enjoy solving complex manufacturing problems on the plant floor, this is an opportunity to play a key role in JTEKT's continued manufacturing expansion.
