About the job
In this position, you perform material analysis of hard metal using XRD. You apply measurement and analysis methods already developed and have the possibility to be part of method development activities. Maintenance of the lab and our equipment is an important part of the daily work. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) for image analysis is also included in your tasks. Together with us, you actively work to support our R&D function in delivering relevant data for the development of new materials for the future – spanning a wide range from our raw powders to finalized inserts and grades. Collaboration within our team of R&D engineers and technicians, as well as with other departments, is central to our success and you bring an inclusive and knowledge-sharing mindset to the team.

We have one of our R&D sites in Västberga (Stockholm) and this is also where you are be located.

About you

Through analytical and methodical ways of working, you also make sure results of high quality are delivered on time.

You hold at least a bachelor’s degree or corresponding working experience - most likely within Physics, Chemistry, Materials Technology or similar - while a master’s degree is highly valued. Basic knowledge and experience of X-Ray Diffraction, including use of equipment and analysis software connected to this area, is required. Previous work experience of method development, maintenance of lab equipment as well as skills in SEM for image analysis are advantageous. Since we work locally in a global setting, you have good knowledge in both Swedish and English, and any other language skills could come in handy.
