In 1976 he emigrated to Israel, where he was a professor at the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology until 1986, when he returned to the United States and became a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. From 1987 to 1995 he was director of the university's Manufacturing Engineering Program and cofounder of the Center for Manufacturing Productivity, which paired 215

A primary objective of Steve's early research was to develop both a fundamental understanding and quantitative models to describe the diverse aspects of grinding, including the mechanics of the process, temperatures, thermal damage to the workpiece, precision, and surface topography. He then realized that this fundamental processing knowledge could be more practically applied by taking a comprehensive systems approach in which the grinding model parameters are updated and intelligent control is used to optimize the process.

Steve Malkin authored a scholarly body of papers that spearheaded innovative research in modern grinding optimization technology, and he was instrumental in transforming the technology from an empirical craft to an applied science by laying the foundation for grinding system theory and developing enabling technologies to improve system efficiency. His book Grinding Technology: Theory and Applications of Machining with Abrasives (Industrial Press, 1989)
