As a Materials Engineer, the focus will be on materials development and characterization, lab hardware development, instrumentation, experimentation, and analysis to develop and demonstrate new materials, devices, and technical capabilities. Typical activities include literature research; performance analysis; and design, assembly, programming, and operation of custom hardware for experimentation and development of materials processes and product prototypes. Familiarity with common materials properties, data acquisition software (e.g., Python, LabView), laboratory electronics and instrumentation, high vacuum systems, cryogenics, and materials characterization methods is ideal, as is understanding of microstructural properties of high-performance metals, composites, and polymers.

Key Elements of the Position

• Variety of Projects. Work on several R&D projects at a time. Example current/past project technology areas: electrostatic precipitation, novel metals casting methods, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), thin film deposition, nanomaterials, chemical/biological protection equipment, specialty coatings (thin-film, hydrophilic, wear resistant, etc.), composites, and cryogenic systems and devices.
• Challenging and Interesting Work. Use your knowledge of materials science, physics, chemistry, metallurgy, mechanics, heat transfer, and mechanical design to develop fabrication processes and design, build, and test experimental hardware, working prototypes, and specialized products.
• Talented and Creative Colleagues. Team with other creative Engineers and highly capable support staff (Designers/Drafters, Mechanical Technicians, Precision Machinists). Project teams are small and highly interdisciplinary.
• New England College Town. Our location in Hanover, New Hampshire offers exceptional opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast, excellence in schools and medical centers, and proximity to Dartmouth College. Additionally, NH has no State sales or income tax!

Creare, a leader in cutting-edge R&D since 1961, conducts applied research, develops new technologies and provides analysis, design, experimental, computational, product, and consulting services to industry and government. Our R&D spans a broad range of fields, such as fluid mechanics, heat transfer, electronics, materials, software development, biomedical, applied mechanics, and manufacturing processes.
