High impact role in a small, agile laboratory environment. Opportunity to work at the cutting edge of the smart materials industry. Flexible, autonomous, and varied role in a multidisciplinary environment.
As our new Materials Science Engineer, you will play an integral role on our materials science team, helping to develop and advance our technology and materials. You will be working with smart materials (including shape memory alloys) and advanced manufacturing processes to understand how these processes can be used to control the function of these materials.
Every day in this role will offer an opportunity to apply your deep technical knowledge to help develop innovative solutions to important problems.
To succeed in this role, you will require a strong grasp of metallic materials, and be able to use both experimental and numerical methods to optimize these materials for different applications.
You will enjoy the benefits of working with an experienced, knowledgeable, and collaborative team, who will support you when needed but also empower you to solve problems independently and work autonomously.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Support the materials team on NiTi-based shape memory alloy R&D activities, and any projects related to materials and device development and testing
- Perform material properties characterization and testing using a variety of techniques (optical microscopy, SEM, DSC, thermomechanical testing, tensile testing, laser processing, heat treating, hardness testing)
- Perform statistical analysis on materials testing results
- Develop a thorough understanding of multi-memory-materials technology
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor’s degree in Materials, Mechanical Engineering or Biomedical Engineering
- Min. 2-3 years work experience in Research and Development environment
