Principal Materials Engineer - Galway. The Principal Materials Engineer role based in Galway is responsible for characterisation and development of materials and components in electroforming & mechanical forming processes, in addition to leading problem-solving metallurgical defects. Duties/Responsibilities: Establishing experiments to understand performance effects from metallic material properties. Advancement of existing electroforming processes for the production of metallic wafers. Development and critique of DOE’s and validation plans for metallurgical processes to achieve production readiness. Identification and control of the input variables to produce the desired outputs. Work as part of a team around the development of joining processes. Analysis and investigation to determine reasons for performance outcomes. Leading problem-solving initiatives to establish root cause and implementation of appropriate solutions. Responsible for reporting on/validating solutions identified. Responsible for project management of material projects. Ability to liaise with Customers, suppliers and external bodies, as required. Maintains Project Technical files to comply with Medical Quality Standards. Perform other assigned tasks as directed by Head of Function. Education/Experience: 10+ years’ experience in a Design and Process Development Metallurgical Environment. Knowledge of additive and metal electroforming processes would be an advantage. Minimum of a primary degree in Materials Engineering or Metallurgy, however a post graduate qualification in a relevant area of specialization would be a distinct advantage. Specific Requirements: Familiar with use of SEM, XRD, XRF, ESD. EBSD, FIB and DSC equipment and techniques including sample preparation. Very familiar with material characterisation techniques and metallic material failure mechanisms.
