  • A broad understanding of one or more materials (polymers or metals or composites or ceramics), their composition and their mechanical properties.
  • A good understanding of how materials are processed for product development and manufacture.
  • An ability to review manufacturing facilities and troubleshoot issues, finding practical solutions to problems or be able to create research-led plans to overcome issues.

You should be able to:

  • Communicate your expertise, knowledge and experience - from boardroom to technician.
  • Apply your knowledge to the practical development of physical products and manufacturing processes.
  • Make use of relevant tools and computer software to support innovation projects.
  • Work on multiple concurrent projects with short timescales (typically 2-5 days).

Candidates should have a background gained from the application of technological innovation within business or industry. You should be skilled in carrying out technical investigations and making technical recommendations before implementing them within the client environment.
