·A collaborative mindset with the ability to work across disciplines
·Clear written and verbal communication skills
We’re especially interested in experience with:
·High temperature ceramics and composites for thermal insulation and heat shielding materials
·Electrospinning or fibre-based materials
·Materials characterisation techniques including structural, thermal and mechanical properties.
·Machining and 3D printing
Key Accountabilities
·Design, develop and validate electrospun fibre materials
·Design and perform mechanical, thermal, and materials characterisation tests
·Collaborate with engineers, scientists and clients across the business
·Analyse data and contribute to technical reports, intellectual property, and product strategy
·Support the scale-up of lab-based processes for industrial applications
·Play a key role in shaping the company's technology roadmap and long-term vision through technical insight and innovation
What We Offer
·Competitive salary and benefits

·A small, collaborative team with room to grow your technical and professional capabilities
·A chance to shape a technology with long-term impact across multiple sectors
Eligibility and Security Requirements
Applicants must have the right to work in the UK at the time of application. This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship. Due to the nature of potential future work with UK and allied defence sectors, successful candidates may be required to meet security standards in future.
