You will also be responsible for producing formulations, coating materials, and performing characterisation for novel devices. Data is an important part of any business and so another key part of this role will be to compile, log, and analyse experimental data, which will ultimately help shape the R&D programme. The company are looking for a junior scientist that has practical experience within an academic of industrial lab setting, coupled with a degree in physics, chemistry or materials science. Any experience gained within a cleanroom setting would be highly advantageous to your application, as would familiarity with metrology systems and fabrication equipment.
