Partner with the best

An opportunity for a Research & Development (R&D) Materials Engineer/Chemist/Physicist to apply experimental and computational methods to the development of sensors for high temperature and radiation applications. This role is part of a multidisciplinary team in a fast paced, highly collaborative environment focused on rapid product development.

As a Material Scientist, you will be responsible for:

Working as an integral member of a multidisciplinary team focused on sensor technology, in particular radiation detectors operating at high temperatures (greater than 500C).
The ideal candidate will possess a comprehensive background in high-temperature materials, including metals, ceramics, composites, and/or coatings. A strong understanding of phase stability, microstructure-property relationships, and microstructural characterization is required
The candidate should be proficient in using modeling and experimental tools to address complex material science challenges. They should be willing and capable of acquiring specialized skills necessary for developing or selecting novel high-temperature materials for developing technology solutions related to the energy transition
The successful candidate is expected to actively contribute to cross-functional teams and demonstrate technical leadership in their core area. They should build productive collaborations internally across various functions and businesses, as well as with strategic external partners (e.g., academia, national labs and other industry partners). Additionally, the candidate should be able to assess and accelerate the pace of technology development and deployment.
The ideal candidate with have extensive laboratory; Scanning electron microscope (SEM) modalities includebackscattered electron (BSE) imaging, secondary electron (SE) imaging, electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS).LIDS, CT
Providing guidance and review of material selection for radiation detection and combustion measurement sensors operating at high temperatures.
Applying knowledge and skills to advise on issues of metallurgy, ceramics, and electroplating.
Providing guidance and review of joining processes such as welding, brazing, and soldering of materials.
Developing, set-up, and safely conduct experiments/tests to support material selection and process development for conceptual & prototype sensor systems.
Establishing robust materials analysis and qualification processes that leverage in-house as well as outside capabilities. This includes insuring we have access to appropriate and up-to-date analytical equipment and associated qualified personnel.
Document work products in written form, e.g. technical notes, design specifications, journal publications.
Presenting work achievements to the team, and when appropriate to the scientific community at technical conferences.
Providing materials support for all existing Reuter-Stokes' product lines.
Interface with materials peers within the broader Baker Hughes community to leverage and establish best practices.

Fuel your passion

To be successful in this role you will:

Have a master's degree in Materials Science, or Chemistry
Have at least 5 to 7 years of technical work experience as a Material Scientist/Engineer
Have a knowledge of High Temperature material selection, and characterization.
Have extensive experience with material testing and analysis techniques.
Nuclear rector testing and/or radiation damage testing experience.
Have experience with welding, brazing (especially ceramic-to-metal), and/or soldering
Have experience with computational modelling tools such as ANSYS, Granta
Have expert knowledge of materials standards (ASTM, ASME Code Sec II and IX, ANSI)
History of technical contributions to one or more of the following fields:
a) High temperature metal alloy machining, heat treating, joining, and plating.
b) High temperature ceramic production, processing, and brazing
c) High temperature coatings
Strong analytical and experimental skillset.
