We are AWE, a team of remarkable people achieving an extraordinary mission: keeping the nation safe and secure. Our work is critical, and we are responsible for delivering the next warhead for the UK's nuclear deterrent; working at the forefront of nuclear technologies that keep the nation safe.
Our MissionAWE's support for the government's strategy takes many facets: from supporting the weapon programme for the nuclear deterrent, supporting the UK's counter terrorist programme, identifying where there may be nuclear tests taking place around the world, and building an expert group of individuals in order to give the UK real depth in nuclear science and technology.
Year in Industry OpportunityThis position is created for university students undertaking a 12-month placement, who will join our Materials Science area of AWE. Materials Science supports the life cycle of warhead components and technologies to ensure the reliability of the UK's strategic deterrent and national security mission.
Key Responsibilities- Develop foam and aerogel materials for laser target application to support the modelling and characterisation of plasma-based reactions.
- Investigate the development and manufacture of materials using less hazardous chemicals, as well as analysing materials including chemical, physical and x-ray CT properties/characteristics.
- Develop new inorganic materials for control triggered electrical breakdown, involving the production for testing and electrical breakdown testing, as well as analysing materials including chemical, physical, and crystallographic properties.
- Apply analytical methodologies associated with the qualitative and quantitative assessment of organic, inorganic and metallic materials, including mechanical, elemental, spectroscopic, rheology and thermal analyses.
- Synthesise inert precursors for direct in-flow, high-purity synthesis of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), and evaluate batch and flow chemistry process techniques, exploring a range of process conditions, as well as chemical characterisation of inert precursors and PETN products.
- Perform experimentation and apply chemistry and/or materials science knowledge to further understand the material behaviour in complex multi-material systems.
- Support Engineering through the analysis of test pieces using various microscopic and analytical techniques, engaging with a variety of stakeholders including international partners.
We're looking for individuals with a passion for materials development and/or analytical chemistry, studying for a degree in related fields such as Materials Science or Chemistry. The ideal candidate will have a growth mindset, be curious, innovative, resilient, and a team worker.
What We OfferYou will have the opportunity to learn from subject matter experts and to develop skills that are applicable across many industries. Successful candidates will receive a salary of £22,250, a market leading contributory pension scheme, every second Friday off, 270 hours of annual leave a year, access to the employee discounts portal, and more.
