Materials Engineer III

Duration : 06 Months + High Possibility of extension

Labs brings together world-class experts to develop and ship groundbreaking products at the intersection of hardware, software, and content. We have a clear mandate to ship products at scale. The Applied Materials team at seeks an adhesive test engineer (6-month initial contract extendable to 2 years), with the ability to evaluate material performance for consumer products. We are looking for individuals with adhesives knowledge to methodically evaluate materials and generate coupon and form-factor data to guide hardware teams to select optimal materials. The role will be based in Vancouver or Seattle (with travel to Vancouver), WA.

• Use fundamental engineering principles and ASTM standards to design standard and custom test setups to measure performance of adhesives and materials.
• Prepare sample coupons for testing. Characterize adhesive material and device performance in a laboratory setting.
• Interface with cross-functional partners to understand prototyping and characterization needs. Work with materials labs across Meta to coordinate materials testing.
• Prioritize adhesive testing projects based on program need and SME requests, drive projects to completion within specified timelines, and generate repeatable and accurate data.
• Write and maintain experimental SOPs, analyze raw data, and generate test reports.
• Work with vendors and lab managers to purchase new equipment as well as maintain, calibrate, and upgrade existing equipment.
• Maintain materials coupon inventory for testing.
• Follow established safety and best practices protocols to ensure a safe and organized lab.
• Maintain laboratory equipment calibration and documentation
