Ajilon Technology Aerospace is looking for a NonMetallic Material Engineer E3 for an opportunity at the European Space Agency in the Netherlands General tasks to be performed Evaluation of nonmetallic materials such as polymers incl. adhesives and coatings, ceramics and composite materials for use on launchers as well as spacecraft. Performing general failure analysis of materials and assemblies including resolution of internalexternal NCRs Non Conformance Reports of testing and evaluation activities. Using various laboratory tools such as optical and electron, microscopy, spectroscopy, surface analysis instruments to analyse materials and processes behaviour. Carrying out testing analysis of relevant lab investigations in an ISO 17025 compliant manner including procedure and documentation development. Surface modification and analysis due to space environmental effects like atomic oxygen UVVUV and plasma effects. Analyse the behaviour of materials and their resistance to the space environment. Performing space environmental simulation to assess effects on materials. Providing expert support for materials and process reviews as requested by formal reviews of space missions. Producing clear and professional reports as specified for the task. Supporting the inclusion of results in internal databases. Interaction with internal and external customers on a professional level. Specific tasks to be performed The holder shall have a university degree in materials science or a related engineering discipline with a good working knowledge of materials process technology and a good understanding of physics and chemistry. Experience in one or more of the following techniques is also required Maintenance of the relevant test equipment. The Contractor shall ensure that the equipment under his responsibility is kept in a safe and operational state and shall ensure that all necessary routine calibration and maintenance activities are carried out. Thermal analysis Differential scanning calorimetry DSC, temperaturemodulated DSC, dynamic mechanical thermal testing DMTA, thermo gravimetric analysis TGA, TMA, DEA, coupled thermal analysis, LFA, DDS, Hot Disk, etc. Materials characterisation techniques Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy SEM, atomic force microscopy AFM, IR UV spectroscopy, thermooptical characterisations, NDI NonDestructive Investigations like CT scans as well as surface sensitive techniques like XPS. To successfully perform the above mentioned tasks, the following background experience is required The holder shall have a university degree in materials science or a related engineering discipline with a good working knowledge of materials process technology and a good understanding of physics and chemistry. Experience in one or more of the following techniques is also required a PhD or Master degree in materials science, materials physicschemistry or a related field. good familiarity with advanced surface analysis techniques XPS, AFM, Raman, TOFSIMS, SEM EDXWDX, FIB a strong background on other advanced materials characterisation techniques with specific emphasis in thermal analysis techniques. some experience on carrying out RD studies to understand behaviour of materials under extreme environments such as space. familiarity and understanding of ESA PA requirements ECSS as well as ISO17025 requirements. candidate should be able work independently and have confidence to deal directly with customers, in person or by telephone.
