Lab Engineer - Metals

We, EOS - world market leader for industrial 3D printing, are looking for a Lab Engineer - Metals to support materials research and production quality for laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) systems. This role is part of the Metals R&D team and plays a key role in EOS's production in America initiative.

You will be responsible for performing quality assurance testing on parts built during machine validation; these builds are run on systems assembled in-house and must meet defined material performance requirements. In addition to this production-focused work, you will also support materials research and development efforts related to LPBF, contributing to internal projects and experimental investigations.

Your Mission

• Operate material characterization equipment such as: metallographic preparation tools, optical and scanning electron microscopes, powder testing instruments, chemistry analysis tools, a tensile load frame, and a coordinate measuring machine.

• Accurately collect, analyze, and document experimental data in accordance with internal SOPs and relevant testing standards.

• Support continuous improvement of lab workflows and assist in developing new or updated SOPs.

• Take ownership of designated lab equipment, performing routine calibration and basic troubleshooting as needed.

Your Talents

• Bachelor's degree in Materials Science, Metallurgy, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.

• Hands-on experience working in a lab environment and following standard operating procedures, including metallographic preparation, microscopy, and mechanical testing.

• Strong organizational and time management skills, with the ability to manage multiple tasks independently.

• Proficient in Microsoft Excel and capable of basic data analysis; familiarity with Minitab is a plus.

• Experience in characterization of metal additive manufacturing parts is highly desirable.

• Working knowledge of metals commonly used in LPBF.

• Basic understanding of quality assurance principles and testing standards.
