Heater Plate Scientist

A Campus full of opportunities To overview Heater Plate Scientist We are seeking a scientifically driven Process Engineer - Heater Plate Scientist to advance the development of our heater plate products. Role We are looking for a scientifically driven Process Scientist to advance the development of our heater plate products. In this role, you will investigate new heater structures and layouts, design and execute experiments to understand and improve heater functionality, and translate your findings into actionable insights for both product design and manufacturing. You will work closely with R&D colleagues and, when the time comes, guide promising developments through to the first stage of production (Series 0). This is a science-heavy role for someone who enjoys digging into the fundamentals, is comfortable with data, and has the curiosity to push heater plate technology forward. You serves as the pivotal link between R&D and Production, and as the primary interface with external partners. Responsibilities - Investigate and develop new heater plate structures and layouts, exploring the relationship between design, materials, and thermal performance - Design and execute structured experiments (DoE) to study the effect of both manufacturing process parameters and heater layout on functionality and performance - Analyse experimental data rigorously, draw conclusions, and translate findings into clear recommendations for product and process improvement - Build up and maintain a solid scientific understanding of the underlying physics and failure mechanisms of heater plates - Collaborate with R&D, product engineering, and manufacturing teams to align development work with product requirements - Document experimental methods, results, and learnings to a high scientific standard - Support the transition of selected developments into Series 0 manufacturing, ensuring scientific findings are captured in a form that production can work ...
