Job description

What You’ll Do

Are you an ambitious physicist with a passion for translating complex business requirements into state-of-the-art printing processes? Do you want to work in a challenging, multidisciplinary, multinational R&D environment? Then this role might be a great fit for you.

As Physics researcher/designer in Research and Development (R&D), you bridge the gap between theoretical physics and practical application, focusing on designing new products and refining processes especially related to the fixation processes in our printer engines.

You will work in a multidisciplinary environment, collaborating with software, mechanics, and electronics experts to solve complex technical challenges. With your strong interpersonal skills, enthusiasm, entrepreneurial mindset and ambition, you inspire and influence stakeholders in your project, such as functions, designers and researchers.

The focus for this vacancy is fixation, one of the most important processes in our printer engines. As part of the fixation team, you have a deep understanding of the physics behind fixation processes in the printer engine. With your modelling and experimental skills, you are able to come to concrete proposals on how to apply or redesign fixation for specific printer engines.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Steering development of the fixation modules needed to develop state-of-the- art printer engines.
• Understanding the fixation process to balance this process in the context of the complete printer engine.
• Participating in multidisciplinary teams delivering a working print process that enables new applications for graphics and industrial printing.

Who You’ll Work With

Our international organization has a flat hierarchy, so you’ll be working with lots of other people in an open, creative multidisciplinary environment, including designers, developers and architects.

What You Bring

• A PhD or master’s degree in physics.
• A strong technical background and eagerness to learn.
• A combination of experimental and modelling skills to understand the physics of the fixation process by performing experiments on test setups, as well as the ability to capture the knowledge in models.
• Outstanding people management skills, with the ability to influence and motivate people.
• Team builder with strong planning and project management skills, a proactive attitude and experience in extensive stakeholder management.
• Excellent analytical and organizational skills and a strong results-driven mindset.
