Your tasks will include the design of testing equipment required to imitate the working mechanism of an industrial application. A significant part of this will be the assessment of various sensors to determine the most beneficial. Pre- and post-testing, comprehensive surface chemical and mechanical analyses will be required to characterize the wear and friction properties and validate the equipment. Your profile
* PhD in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or Experimental Physics
* Experience in determining mechanical properties at surfaces
* Experience in surface chemical analysis or imaging
* Enthusiasm for designing of equipment
* Highly motivated to work in an interdisciplinary group
