For one of our main customers ESAESTEC, we are currently looking for a Materials Engineer, who will give temporary support within the Directorate of Technical and Quality Management in the area of Contamination Cleanliness. Tasks and Responsibilities The following activites will apply To set up and operate equipment devoted to the assessment of the effects of contamination on space hardware and its causes. This requires the use of laboratory equipment consisting mainly of advanced vacuum systems and associated measuring devices such as mass spectrometers, infrared spectrometers, etc To set up and operate the microbalance systems to determine the outgassing properties of materials socalled VBQC systems Performance of tasks related to the assessment of particulate contamination either airborne or in fluids using the Particle Fall Out PFO method, automatic particle counting, or other adhoc test methods To develop new test methods and procedures related to chemical analyses in the field of offgassing and outgassing and contamination engineering. This includes GPC, GCMS, LCMS, HPLC, IR spectroscopy Modification of testing and analysis facilities and instruments as required for ongoing and future ESA missions Installation and subsequent analysis of contamination sensors placed within the environmental chambers of the inhouse parent sectiondivision as well as external facilities. Specific tasks will include To develop new test methods and procedures related to the analysis of outgassing tests and performing advanced data treatments coming from so called VBQC tests To design, to setup, to perform and to monitor non standard tests to meet space project requirements focussing on outgassing assessment To modify test facilities if and as required by mission environments To investigate chemical interactions related to materials and induced environment such as but not limited to contact with propellants, waste products Assist in the design and validation procedure and loading of a material database covering all disciplines performed by the section outgassing, offgassing, thermooptical properties, thermal characterisation, serving as a data repository for internal and external use with focus on outgassing data Improve materials and outgassing modelling capabilities within the section based on standard software packages or to be developed software Assisting general materials processes reviews as requested with a focus on cleanliness and contamination control Producing clear and professional reports. Experience and education The holder shall have a university degree in materials science or a related engineering discipline with a good working knowledge of materials process technology and a good understanding of physics and chemistry. Several years of experience in material physical and chemical laboratory investigations with particular emphasis on the specific task descriptions defined above Familiarity with data acquisition systems and SW e.g. LABVIEW Familiarity with database SW Familiarity with materials modeling At least 4 years of relevant working experience in the Space Industry.
