Job Description

A Snapshot of Your Day

Analyze materials, components, coatings, and competitor technologies to understand composition, processing routes, material-property relationships, and potential innovation opportunities for Grid Technologies

How You'll Make an Impact

Conduct reverse engineering studies on materials, components, coatings, and competitor products.
Identify material composition, microstructure, processing indicators, and functional characteristics.
Plan and coordinate analytical investigations using microscopy, spectroscopy, thermal analysis, mechanical testing, and surface characterization.
Benchmark materials and technologies to support product development, material substitutions, supplier evaluation, and research roadmaps.
Translate analytical findings into clear technical insights for R&D, engineering, product management, and procurement.
Support selected failure, ageing, and degradation investigations where material expertise is required.
Build structured knowledge from analysis results to support digital and data-driven materials intelligence.

What You Bring

Degree in Materials Science, Metallurgy, Polymer Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or related field.
First practical experience in material characterization, reverse engineering, failure analysis, or applied materials research.
Experience with selected methods such as SEM/EDS, XRF, FTIR, DSC/TGA, XRD, microscopy, metallography, or mechanical testing is beneficial.
Ability to interpret analytical data and link composition, structure, processing, and performance.
Curious, structured, hands-on mindset with strong scientific problem-solving skills.
Good communication skills and ability to work with global R&D, engineering, suppliers, universities, and external labs
