Job Title: Materials Engineer – Electrification Modules (Parental Leave Replacement)
Contract Type: Fixed-term contract – January to September (extension possible)
Technical Direction: Global Materials Engineering Supervisor
-----------------------------------
Role Overview
We are seeking a Materials Engineer to join our Electrification Modules team for a parental leave replacement from January to September (with potential prolongation).
The successful candidate will work in a laboratory environment supporting data-driven analysis, material validation, and troubleshooting activities for next-generation inverter programs.
This position involves close collaboration with a German-speaking colleague; therefore, English fluency (C1) is required.
Qualifications & Skills
• Education: Bachelor's degree (minimum) or Master's degree in Materials Engineering, Metallurgy, Polymer Science, or a related field.
• Experience: 3–5 years in a materials development, analysis, or data processing role.
• Technical Expertise:
– Strong background in data analysis and methodology (Excel, databases, statistical tools).
– Experience with laboratory testing techniques (SEM, FTIR, DSC, TGA, thermal and mechanical analysis).
– Good understanding of mechanical and physical properties of materials.
• Excellent communication skills in English (C1 level); German is an asset.
• Proven ability to work effectively in a team, particularly in a binomial collaboration setup.
• Knowledge of electrification systems or high-voltage applications is a plus.
Key Responsibilities
• Analyze and process material-related data to support ongoing projects in electrification and high-voltage modules.
• Collaborate with design, testing, and manufacturing teams to select and validate materials for production.
• Conduct and interpret laboratory tests (mechanical, thermal, and chemical analyses).
• Lead root cause analyses for material failures and propose corrective actions.
• Maintain and update material databases, specifications, and documentation.
• Ensure compliance with environmental and technical standards.
• Present findings and recommendations to cross-functional teams and global stakeholders.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives within the materials engineering function.
