Responsibilities

  • Manufacture prototypes – creating product prototypes and manufacturing injection moulded components. This includes operating machinery within our expanding ‘maker space’ workshop and maintaining equipment to a high standard of quality. Treat the space as a small production facility using CNC machining, injection moulding and general workshop tooling.
  • Conduct testing – conduct mechanical characterization for both raw materials and end-user parts. This includes Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), mechanical tensile testing, impact testing and many more. This will require high levels of rigour as reproducibility in characterization methods is mandatory.
  • Health and safety – be able to deliver on health and safety auditing within the workshop on a weekly basis. This means ensuring equipment is properly calibrated and running as expected, consistently maintaining a clean and safe working environment for all users of the workshop and empowering others to champion a culture of workplace safety for all.
