Description
As a Materials Engineer/Expert FTIR Spectroscopist, you will take ownership for conducting Failure Analysis on cross-functional projects involving different internal and external partners and ensuring that they are planned, well-executed and on time. This is a great opportunity to be a technical leader.
Minimum Qualifications
- Masters or PhD in Chemistry, Polymer Science, Materials Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience in FTIR spectroscopy and failure analysis.
- Extensive experience in FTIR analysis of organic materials, polymers, adhesives, films, and plastics, especially in failure investigation and material degradation studies.
- Strong expertise in polymer and adhesive science, with familiarity in consumer products and consumer electronics components and assemblies.
- Proficient in all types of IR analysis techniques, capable of performing nuanced, tool-based spectral interpretation with careful attention to accuracy.
- Develop and execute experimental plans that leverage FTIR spectroscopy to solve complex material challenges, ensuring detailed investigation and reliable results.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with other Material Scientists and engineers on the team to develop and execute multi-technique experimental plans to drive root cause.
- Background in consumer electronics materials, with knowledge of typical failure modes in polymers, adhesives, and plastic components.
- Excellent communication skills, able to convey sophisticated technical findings in an accessible manner to diverse stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
- Lead FTIR-based failure analysis and characterization of adhesives, films, plastics, and polymer systems, specifically for organic and multi-component formulations.
- Conduct detailed characterizations of polymers, adhesives, and films, analyzing material properties, interactions, and potential degradation mechanisms to identify root causes of failure.
- Collaborate closely with company-wide engineers, technical teams, and requestors to ensure alignment on project goals and effective communication of findings.
- Utilize a broad range of IR analysis techniques (ATR, transmission, micro-spectroscopy) and perform skilled and insightful interpretation of spectra with minimal reliance on automated libraries, and avoiding over-interpretation.
- Engage with cross-functional team members and specialists as needed, recognizing when additional expertise is required to achieve the best outcomes.
- Contribute to the development of innovative FTIR and other molecular, optical and/or polymer analysis methodologies and best practices within the team, continuously advancing our analytical capabilities.
- Highly collaborative, with a natural curiosity and a creative, solution-driven approach to problem-solving.
- Ability to work independently while encouraging a collaborative environment, supporting knowledge sharing, and teamwork across projects.
