R&D process engineer
Functieomschrijving
We are looking for a hands-on R&D Process Specialist to further strengthen the R&D team of the Sputter Targets division. This is a shop floor driven role, focused on thermal spray equipment and processes, with exposure to other production technologies such as casting.
You are physically present on the shop floor, working closely with machines, processes, and production teams in an industrial environment.
You oversee and run all thermal spray equipment for R&D.
You participate in the design, development, and testing of new target materials, from lab scale to industrial scale.
You solve technical problems in the product development process in cooperation with the entire Sputter Targets department.
You create and maintain an optimal test and development environment, balancing R&D needs with production constraints.
You analyze, interpret and manage process data, translating it into concrete improvements.
You are responsible for the scale-up and industrialization of R&D processes.
You support the process engineer through technical input for production, debugging activities and continuous improvement of spraying processes.
You get to know the nuances and complexity of the sputtering world.
Profiel
You are a true hands-on engineer who enjoys practical work, machines and industrial environments.
You like working with equipment, modifying it, improving it and understanding how it behaves in real production conditions.
You have a solid technical foundation, including practical knowledge of materials, mechanical properties and characterization techniques.
Experience with thermal spraying, material processing or industrial R&D is a plus, but not a must.
You either hold a bachelor's or master's degree in a relevant technical field, or you have built up sufficient technical knowledge and expertise through relevant industrial experience.
You are analytical and solution-oriented, especially when dealing with machine- and process-related challenges.
You cope well with pressure, deadlines, changing priorities and shifting project goals.
You are dynamic, adaptable, pragmatic and a fast learner, willing to master spray technology quickly (on-the-job training is provided).
You can work autonomously and proactively, while remaining a strong team player.
You prefer practical work on the work floor over purely desk-based work, while being capable of both when needed.
You are fluent in English. Any other language is a plus.
You are open to occasional travel to other Soleras production sites.
Aanbod
A dynamic and international work environment where innovation and collaboration are key.
A competitive salary with an attractive package of additional benefits.
An extensive training program and personal guidance through a mentorship program.
Enjoy fun extras such as after-work drinks and sports, summer barbecue, Christmas drinks, and so much more.
Thanks to our location near the highway, our company is easily accessible.
On top of the 20 standard vacation days, you receive an additional 12 compensation days per year.
