Reference number: NORTE-06-3559-FSE-000102 + PRR

Overview

INL is seeking a highly qualified, self-motivated Research Engineer to reinforce the INL Technology Engineering Group, who shall be focused on Application Engineering.

The Application Engineering team is expected to function as a cohesive, multifaceted engineering team that promotes the INL’s core R&D&I skills, in particular in the area of system engineering. It aims to expand the installed capacities for an interdisciplinary approach to transform concepts into high quality nanotechnology based products and services.

The objective is to create a multidisciplinary team of Engineers from different areas, namely Mechanical, Electric, Physics, and Computer Engineering to work very closely with each other and that will ensure continuity between the knowledge accumulated at INL and the existing knowledge in companies, enabling a faster and more effective data transfer. Each member will bring their contribution to the team to maximise the construction of very complex systems capable of responding to crosscutting needs of the companies with which they will be working.

Job Duties
