**Job Title**
Assistant Engineer – Instrumentation & Experimental Techniques
**Role Summary**
Provide technical support and maintenance for laboratory instrumentation used in thermal treatments and material property measurements. Ensure equipment reliability, accurate data acquisition, and user training while contributing to the design and procurement of new instruments.
**Expectations**
- Maintain instrument uptime and quality of measurements.
- Deliver precise technical documentation and keep procedures current.
- Serve as the primary technical reference for the thermal‑treatment platform and support experimental campaigns.
- Demonstrate continual improvement through proactive troubleshooting and process optimisation.
**Key Responsibilities**
1. **Instrumentation Maintenance** – Prepare, assemble, modify, commission, and calibrate equipment (heat treatments, sensors, gauges, vacuum systems, etc.).
2. **Technical Support & Troubleshooting** – Diagnose failures, coordinate repairs, and perform preventive and corrective maintenance.
3. **Documentation** – Write and update technical sheets, operating procedures, and maintenance logs; archive records in the laboratory database.
4. **User Training & Assistance** – Train researchers and doctoral students on equipment use and safety; provide on‑site support during experiments.
5. **Equipment Planning** – Schedule instrument usage for experimental campaigns and coordinate with researchers to optimise resource allocation.
6. **Procurement & Vendor Liaison** – Source spare parts, order new equipment, evaluate vendor proposals, and manage external service contracts.
7. **Design & Upgrade** – Draft plans for instrument enhancements, consult with vendors, and support the development of new measurement devices.
8. **Safety & Compliance** – Enforce hygiene, health, and safety standards across technical platforms; keep abreast of regulatory updates.
9. **Technology Watch** – Monitor emerging instrumentation and measurement methods pertinent to materials science and thermal processes.
**Required Skills**
- Knowledge of physical measurement techniques: pressure, temperature, force, flow, and associated sensors (pyrometer, thermocouple, strain gauge, vacuum gauge, etc.).
- Fundamental understanding of metrology, electronic/mechanical engineering, vacuum technology, gases handling, and automation.
- Basic chemistry or materials science background.
- Proficiency with CAD or 3D modelling software for instrument design.
- Ability to operate measurement instruments and interpret data.
- Technical writing skills: drafting technical sheets, analytical reports, and procedure manuals.
- English language proficiency at B1 level (CEFR).
- Autonomy, organisational ability, adaptability, teamwork, initiative, and problem‑solving orientation.
**Required Education & Certifications**
- Minimum of a level‑2 post‑secondary qualification (equivalent to an Associate Degree/Baccalaureate + 2).
- No specific certifications required, but knowledge of industrial safety, hygiene, and health regulations is expected.
