About the role
Research Engineer supporting experimental research on material performance under extreme environments, focusing on hydrogen-related mechanical testing and characterization.
ResearchOnsite
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct hydrogen-related mechanical tests, including tensile, fatigue, fracture, and other environmentally assisted cracking experiments under ambient air, electrochemical charging, and hydrogen autoclave conditions.
- Support operation, test preparation, and experimental execution for high-pressure H2 autoclave mechanical testing systems, including compliance with SOPs and safety requirements.
- Carry out other mechanical characterization and analysis relevant to advanced metallic materials.
- Analyse experimental data, prepare plots/tables/reports, and support interpretation of mechanical and hydrogen testing results.
- Maintain proper experimental documentation, including test records, risk assessments, SOPs, and project reports.
- Assist in project management and laboratory administration, including scheduling, progress tracking, inventory management, maintenance coordination, and support for project management.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Chemistry, or a closely related field.
- Candidates with demonstrated hands-on experience in tensile/fatigue/fracture testing, hydrogen charging, stress-corrosion cracking (SCC), and/or materials characterization will be preferred.
- Experience in microstructural/materials characterization techniques such as SEM, EBSD, XRD, DSC, or TGA is advantageous.
- Ability to execute experiments independently, troubleshoot practical test issues, and maintain high-quality documentation.
- Good understanding of laboratory safety practices; experience handling electrochemical systems, corrosive environments, gases, or pressure-related systems is advantageous.
- Good organisational and coordination skills to support procurement, equipment maintenance, inventory control, and project tracking.
