Production Engineer

About Us:

The company is a well-established technical manufacturing company mainly serving the printing and packaging industries. It has over 50 years of history in making ceramics and rubber rollers. The company has the state of art thermal spray equipment and laser equipment. Committed to sustainability and technological advancement, the company is expanding into different industries with new technologies and processes. The material engineer will be a key part of the company’s future for new developments.

The Role:

We’re seeking a passionate **Materials Engineer** to lead R&D projects, optimize material performance, and solve complex challenges. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to turn concepts into breakthrough products, particularly in thermal spray engineering which includes Plasma, HVOF and Cold Spraying.

Key Responsibilities:

1.Investigate physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites using advanced techniques (e.g., SEM, XRD, mechanical testing), analyze material behavior under extreme conditions (e.g., high temperature, corrosion), and document findings in technical reports.

2.Assess materials for strength, durability, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability to meet engineering and commercial goals; design and develop novel materials (e.g., corrosion-resistant alloys, high-thermal-conductivity ceramics) to meet performance standards.

3.Optimize manufacturing processes (e.g., thermal spraying, 3D printing) to enhance efficiency, quality, and lightweight performance.

4.Collaborate with design, production, QA teams, and external suppliers to align material solutions with technical and business requirements.

5.Investigate product failures to identify root causes (e.g., material defects, process issues), propose data-driven solutions through lab testing, and conduct feasibility studies for new materials and processes.

6.Ensure compliance with industry standards (ISO, ASTM) and integrate sustainable practices into material development.

Qualifications:

- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or related field.

- More than five years of work experience in the relevant field as a material engineer.

- Strong knowledge and hands on skill of thermal spray engineering

- Experience with material characterization techniques and mechanical design software (CAD and UG).

- Strong problem-solving skills and a knack for innovation.

- Knowledge of industry standards (ISO, ASTM) is a plus.

Why Join Us?

- **Benefits:** Competitive salary with superannuation guarantees

- **Growth Opportunities:** Professional development and mentorship programs.

- **Culture:** Inclusive, collaborative environment with state-of-the-art equipment.
