• Utilize advanced techniques to characterize material properties including mechanical thermal and electrical properties.
• Oversee the manufacturing process ensuring adherence to quality standards and maintaining strict control over material properties and stellarator performance.
• Perform comprehensive testing and analysis of the necessary materials.
• Prepare technical reports presentations and publications to disseminate research findings and contribute to the scientific community.
• Work closely with a multidisciplinary team of Scientists Engineers and Technicians to foster a collaborative environment.
• Collaborate with external partners including academic institutions and research organizations to explore potential collaborations and stay at the forefront of materials fusion and stellarator technologies.

What youll need:

• Strong educational background in Materials Science Engineering Physics or a related field.
• Indepth knowledge of material properties processing methods and characterization techniques.
• Proven handson experience in materials test methods such as thermophysical properties mechanical tests or microscopy.
• Familiarity with computational modelling and simulation tools.
• Excellent analytical and problemsolving skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex issues and propose innovative solutions.
• Attention to detail in experimental work and data analysis.

We offer:

In addition to a basic salary and yearly bonus you will also get

• Stock and share options
• Relocation allowance
• Insurance plans
• 401k retirement options
• And many more great voluntary benefits
