We are currently looking for a Thermal Interface Materials (TIM) Research Engineer to take on the challenge of exploring future TIM solutions for our clients' upcoming ICT concepts.

We expect this expert to be responsible for:

1. Providing technical and theoretical guidance for research on new TIM materials and their processes based on product demands and industry trends. This aims to achieve technical breakthroughs, especially in areas of overall conductivity, reliability, and cost.
2. Supporting the verification and test data analysis of key materials and processes, including internal prototypes and samples obtained from cooperation with external partners.
3. Assisting in the build-up of an academic and industrial ecosystem/network, providing scientific support and advice for upcoming cooperation projects in this network, including national, EU frameworks, and other project calls.
4. Contributing to the establishment of a state-of-the-art TIM-testing laboratory in our Stockholm office. The work will be conducted from our material/thermal teams in Stockholm and our head office in China.

We require a PhD:

1. In the area of advanced materials, nanomaterials, or materials chemistry, focusing on changing/improving the basic functionality of the materials and/or their surfaces.
2. Or in the area of heat and mass transfer with a TIM-related research focus.

We expect the candidate to have more than 1-2 years of post-doctoral experience in research and development within the area, preferably from industry.

This experience should have provided the candidate with:

1. A good understanding of TIM, its R&D, its manufacturing process, its function including the interaction with surrounding units/surfaces, and the reliability of the total solutions.
2. An excellent understanding of advanced material resources and trends in the material research industry, especially new innovative surface treatments and other ways to change/improve the basic functionality of materials and/or their surfaces.

The candidate must be able to communicate fluently in English, both verbally and in writing.

Additional Skills Required:

1. Excellent knowledge of general advanced materials and processing.
2. A solid knowledge of European universities or technology research organizations.
3. Ability to work independently as well as in a team.
4. A high focus on delivering high-quality work.
5. Good communication skills.
6. Prior experience in international and multicultural work is preferred.
