- Assist in day to day organization of the lab, including ordering consumables, maintenance of chemical inventory, sample organization and tracking, etc.
- Produce clear and concise reports to summarize data collected and be able to clearly present this to the ME lab engineers and scientists.
This is what you'll need:
- Experience working in a laboratory environment, including the handling and safe working practices associated with hazardous chemicals. Must be very safety conscious and uphold lab safety guidelines.
- Experience in metallurgical sample preparation - cross sectioning, grinding, polishing and etching (including handling hazardous chemicals and mixing etchant recipes).
- Experience with optical microscopes and macro photography.
- Experience working with basic machine shop tools such as band saw, drill press, belt sander, lathe, milling machine, etc.
- A desire to create a respectful, fun, inclusive and inspiring team and company culture is a must!
Highly desirable:
- Knowledge of and hands on experience with the following:
- Mechanical testing equipment (e.g. Instron, MTS) for tensile, bend, fatigue testing, etc.
