R&D Specialist in Materials Analysis, Microscopy and Imaging

The primary focus of this Specialist in Materials Microscopy and Imaging is to drive activities in characterization of composite materials, image based analysis and microscopy. This includes deepening the knowledge and understanding of existing know-how, and leading improvements and development of methods and capabilities in these areas.

To be considered for this role, you will hold an advanced degree in Materials Engineering, Metallurgy, Physics, Geology or related subjects.

You will report into the Composite Engineering and Mechanics function and be part of a strong team of dedicated professionals. You will work closely with specialists in Chemistry and Process Science, and be the global point of contact for materials microscopy and image analysis for materials and process engineering functions across the company.

Key responsibilities

• Lead usage and deployment of FEG-SEM and optical microscopy methods .
• Lead deployment of NDT methods such as ultrasound scanning or X-ray tomography for R&D and QC purposes.
• Be the expert in materials microanalysis and develop characterization methods using light- and electron microscopy.
• Develop and employ quantitative image analysis methods using MatLab or other software.
• Work closely with colleagues in Composites Engineering and Mechanics to characterize failure mechanisms in carbon and glass fiber composites. Use the resulting insight for the development of materials with ever better performance.
• Work closely with colleagues in Process Science to characterize pultruded carbon and glass fiber composites. Use the resulting insight for the development of manufacturing processes with ever better performance.
• Work closely with colleagues in Chemistry on analytical methods in chemistry and physical chemistry (DSC, FTIR, Rheology, etc.)
• Maintain company know-how within chromium metallurgy.
• Define appropriate QC methods within the area of expertise.

Your profile

• Advanced degree in Materials Engineering, Metallurgy, Geology or closely related disciplines.
• Knowledge and experience with materials characterization of fiber composite materials.
