Associate Engineer-Digital Manufacturing (Polymer)

The successful candidate will be part of a EIIC team working on development and analysis of polymer and composite material simulations to reduce weight and cost, while maintaining performance and durability. "* Demonstrate technical leadership in the area of polymer and composite processing and its analysis through Mold flow (Injection molding) simulations. Leads in identifying, evaluating, and recommending combined material, design, and manufacturing processes that meet the application requirements. Perform hands-on design, analysis, and experimental work as needed to demonstrate technical feasibility. Interacts with global and local team members, suppliers, and business groups to accomplish project objectives. Clearly communicates project status to management both verbally and in writing. The candidate should be self-motivated and be able to carry out day to day technical work with minimal guidance. The candidate should have a global mindset and should be able to coordinate and collaborate across multi-disciplinary teams and multi-regional teams." Established project management skills while handling multiple projects. Bachelor's Degree (BE/B.Tech) in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Polymer, Material, Mechanical Engineering Fundamental understanding on plastics, rubber materials and composites. Good understanding of polymer materials, additive types (long , short, & continuous fibers, laminates, multi-materials etc.), composites and their properties for multiple applications requiring high strength and stiffness in extreme application conditions (i.e. high temperature, pressures, centrifugal forces) along with minimizing weight and cost. Hands on experience in various composite processing techniques such as extrusion, injection molding, compression molding, resin transfer molding, etc., and the influence of fiber selection and orientation and processing method on the resulting composite properties. Knowledge of mold, mold design and mold-flow analysis. Knowledge in novel manufacturing processes such as additive manufacturing of polymer composites is a plus. Knowledge of Industry 4.0 trends and demonstrated projects with deployments of relevant initiatives Ability to document, plan, market, and execute programs.
