You analyze worn cutting tools and the feedback we get from our customers to draw conclusions on how to continually improve our products, and you translate and simplify complex matters into actions to ensure that the R&D departments are developing appropriate solutions. An important responsibility of yours is to develop testing strategies for the grade area, based on technical customer specification of demands. You’re comfortable working in laboratory environments, as well as at our customers where new products are tested, and you investigate what material characteristics are most important to influence the development of innovative cutting tool materials.
