Job Description

The Research Assistant will work closely with the Principal Investigator (PI) to design and build desirable microstructure to enhance mechanical properties of steels by additive manufacturing.

The job scope of this position is:

• Conducting literature reviews and understanding state of the art
• Planning and implementing experiments
• Developing simulation models to guide microstructural engineering
• Analysing the experimental and simulation data
• Writing progress reports and research papers

Qualifications

• Bachelors/Masters Degree in Materials Science or Mechanical Engineering
• Knowledge of metallurgy and microstructural engineering is highly required
• Expertise in microstructural characterisation techniques (e.g. TEM, EBSD and FIB) and mechanical testing
• Expertise in numerical simulations (e.g. phase field, FEM)
• Experience with metal additive manufacturing (e.g. powder bed fusion, directed energy deposition) will be advantageous
• Good publication record will be advantageous
• Self-motivated, good team player

Responsibilities

• Manage and develop a team of world-class engineers to keep them motivated, grow their technical expertise and meet their career aspirations.
• Spend about half your time on hands-on technical work, including coding.
• Manage projects end to end in a fast-paced Agile environment to deliver quality software on time, and follow through post release to ensure effective usage.
• Partner with business owners and product managers to help shape product strategy, sharpen product specs and come up with innovative solutions.
• Drive continual process improvements in areas like unit test, code review, static analysis, CI, CD.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of software development experience, preferably in horizontally scalable services in a cloud environment.
• At least 2 years of managing an elite engineering team with multiple release cycles under your belt.
• Proven ability to recruit, develop and retain talent.
• Steeped in Agile ways. Deep knowledge of software engineering best practices; burning desire to drive the team to adopt them.
• Highly adept at project management in a demanding fast-changing environment with tight deadlines and scarce resources. Ability to multi-task is key.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or related field from a top university.
