Offer Description
The candidate will participate in an industrial research project for the aeronautical sector aiming at exploiting the benefits of X-ray computed tomography (XCT) applied to the characterization of additive manufactured (AM) complex jet engine components with demanding thermomechanical properties. The project required the analysis of XCT data and the development of automatic data processing methodologies to accelerate data treatment (reconstruction of volumes, noise reduction, segmentation, analysis).
XCT is one of the most powerful techniques for defect assessments of additive manufacturing materials as it comprises a high resolution for the typical defect types in AM, a large volume of inspection which allows detecting thousands of defects at once, provides three-dimensional information of the inspected material and it is non-destructive. Thus, the main activity of the candidate will be the preparation of samples of our partners, the measurement by XCT of these samples under optimal experimental values, image post-processing, and development of automated routines for data and image treatment and image quantification. Results will be presented in periodical meetings to industrial partners.
The candidate is expected to have a sufficient background in programming.
Requirements
Specific Requirements
The position is most appropriate for engineers and/or recent master's graduates (or soon to graduate) in fields related to materials science or related disciplines. The applicant should have excellent academic credentials, and interest in working on industrial research.
Experience or knowledge in XCT images is highly valuable. Close interactions with industrial stakeholders are expected; therefore, the ability to work as part of a team is essential.
Experience using ImageJ (or Fiji) and/or image processing software is encouraged. Programming skills will be considered, too.
Full proficiency in English, oral and written, is mandatory.
Initial contract for 1 year with extension to +3 years.
Interested candidates should submit their Curriculum Vitae, a brief cover letter addressing their motivation, as well as academic credentials.
