Master Thesis Student Material Parameter and Process Development (m / f / d)

• Practically oriented studies with integration into the operational process
• Insight into versatile and responsible fields of activity in a fast-growing and international company
• Diverse and global organization with flat hierarchies in a trend-setting industry
• Cooperation and collaboration at eye level in a positive working environment
• Modern structures with individual development opportunities

Position Description :

Nikon SLM Solutions offers a wide range of exciting R&D projects that can be scaled within a student master thesis. We are seeking a self-motivated, highly skilled student who is in the final phase of their master’s studies. Nikon SLM Solutions will provide comprehensive on-the-job training.

• Investigate the SLM process to determine how to build specific challenging geometries and materials.
• Collaborate with technicians, engineers, and scientists in an international environment on challenging projects related to SLM process and material parameter development.
• Conduct full material characterization, including mechanical properties, density analysis (cross sections, Archimedes, CT), microstructural investigations, SEM, EBSD chemical analysis, fracture surface analysis, and roughness investigations.
• Correlate overall input parameters with resulting material properties and characteristics.
• Prepare detailed reports of experiments for internal use and write a comprehensive research report in your master thesis about an exciting project. Depending on the research topic, there might be an opportunity to publish an external white paper.

Qualifications and Requirements :

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent in engineering (e.g., mechanical, aerospace) or physics with a focus on materials science.
• Prior experience with CAM software (e.g., Magics, Build Processor, Netfabb, NX) is beneficial.
• Strong scientific research knowledge and analytical skills.
• Basic skills in material characterization and understanding of laboratory procedures.

We offer a versatile and responsible scope of duties within a global business environment. You can expect colleagues on equal footing, flat hierarchies, a strong team spirit, and a proactive working atmosphere.

Our company embodies a start-up atmosphere, combining a dynamic, future-oriented work environment with the stability and advantages of a large corporation.
