Quality- Engineer/ Senior Engineer-Material testing

Responsibilities

• Test Execution Operation: Setup, calibrate, and operate UTMs (e.g., Instron, MTS, ZwickRoell) to perform a wide range of mechanical tests including tensile, compression, shear, torsion, and cyclic testing.
• Fixture Design: Design and fabricate custom grips, fixtures, and jigs to accommodate unique or non-standard test specimens.
• Data Analysis Reporting: Analyze raw stress-strain data, calculate material properties (such as Youngs Modulus, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation), and author comprehensive technical test reports.
• Standards Compliance: Ensure all testing procedures strictly adhere to relevant international standards (ASTM, ISO, DIN, etc.) and internal company quality protocols.
• Equipment Maintenance: Perform routine maintenance, troubleshooting, and coordinate external calibration for UTMs, load cells, extensometers, and environmental chambers.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with RD, Product Design, and Quality Assurance teams to interpret test results, investigate material failures, and guide material selection.
• Continuous Improvement: Develop and optimize automated testing scripts (using software like Bluehill, TestSuite, or LabVIEW) to improve lab efficiency and data accuracy.

Technical Skills

• UTM Software Proficiency: Deep familiarity with testing software such as Instron Bluehill, MTS TestSuite, or ZwickRoell testXpert.
• CAD Tools: Proficiency in SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, or Creo for designing custom test fixtures.
• Material Knowledge: Strong foundational understanding of the mechanical behavior of materials (metals, plastics, composites, elastomers, and ceramics).
• Instrumentation: Experience using extensometers, strain gauges, load cells, and digital image correlation (DIC) systems.
• Statistical Analysis: Familiarity with data analysis tools (Minitab, MATLAB, or Excel) for processing large datasets and performing Gage RR studies.

Qualifications

• Education/Experience: Degree: Bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in a mechanical testing laboratory environment specifically operating UTMs.
• Preferred/Bonus Qualifications: Experience with environmental chamber testing (high/low temperature mechanical testing).
• Knowledge: Knowledge of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and root-cause analysis methodologies.
• Familiarity with lab management standards like ISO 17025.
