As a Materials Scientist with our team at targetjobs Hired, you will play a critical role in supporting the life cycle of warhead components and technologies to ensure the reliability of the UK's strategic deterrent and national security mission.
The role involves collaborating with subject matter experts to develop and manufacture materials for laser target applications, including foam and aerogel materials, as well as new inorganic materials for control triggered electrical breakdown. You will also be responsible for applying analytical methodologies for qualitative and quantitative assessment of organic, inorganic, and metallic materials.
Key responsibilities include investigating the development and manufacture of materials using less hazardous chemicals, analyzing materials through chemical, physical, and x-ray CT properties/characteristics, and synthesizing inert precursors for direct in-flow, high-purity synthesis of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN).
To be successful in this role, you will need to have a passion for materials development and/or analytical chemistry, a growth mindset, and be curious about new technologies and ground-breaking ideas. You will also need to demonstrate resilience and be an advocate for 'speaking up' for yourself and others openly and constructively.
Benefits:
We offer a salary of £22,250, a market leading contributory pension scheme, and every second Friday off. You will also have access to the employee discounts portal and 270 hours annual leave a year, including an allowance for bank holidays.
