Materials Development Engineer

Material Development Engineer

In a global team, engineering teams run various kinds of TMF and lifetime assessment simulations of products for different parameters of exploitation conditions. Target is to provide multiple kinds of material data to achieve best results in terms of predicted lifetime of components. You have profound knowledge in materials science, mechanical, fatigue and thermo-physical material data and testing methods. You are embedded in the Material Development Team and collaborate closely with other departments such a FEA Simulations and Testing as well as industrial and scientific external partners. In daily work, you use commercial and internal material data management tools to deliver material data for simulation purpose and continuous development of material simulations cards.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Generation of materials mechanical properties / stress-strain curves as well as materials fatigue lifetime (Low Cycle Fatigue) in ambient and elevated temperatures together with external partners
• Generation of thermo-physical and creep materials properties in ambient temperature and elevated temperatures together with external partners
• Evaluation, interpretation and presentation of materials tests results to other departments like FEA Simulation Teams globally.
• Preparation of basic material properties cards based on specification defined by material and simulation teams.
• Development of requirements for material testing processes and methods, as well as their promotion and realization.
• Development and close collaboration with local material testing / characterization external partners.

Work Experience/Skills:

• PhD / Master mechanical engineering or comparable qualification
• At least 3 years' experience in automotive or industrial field with focus on turbomachinery with focus on material science
• Deep understanding of material mechanical and physical properties and material testing methods
• Strong analytical skills and conscientious, structured way of working
• Excellent English communication skills
