Noordwijk
Our team and mission
This position is based at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) - Noordwijk, Netherlands
It is in charge of:
Topic: Performance modelling, destructive and non-destructive characterisation of parts produced by advanced manufacturing technologies, and correlation of predictions with experimental performance
The European Space Agency has recently proposed the ESA Advanced Manufacturing Cross-Cutting Initiative, which captures the opportunity of adopting revolutionary manufacturing capabilities, advanced materials and associated processes and creates sustainable competitive advantage for the European Space Industry in the global market.
The current space missions are often limited in their performances and scientific achievements by the traditional manufacturing processes/concepts. Though Advanced Manufacturing technologies are readily available in the current European industrial landscape, these can be adopted for next generation space hardware manufacturing. This will enable new and highly innovative spacecraft and launchers designs, with significantly reduced manufacturing constraints (including costs and lead-time) and tremendous performances improvement.
Through this initiative, the Agency has identified a number of highly innovative materials and associated manufacturing processes which can be span-in and which will be matured to a space qualification level.
.
In particular the following materials and processes are currently targeted:
You will use the world leading facilities of the ESA/ESTEC Materials and Electrical Components Laboratory, in order to characterise all the above advanced materials and manufacturing processes and perform detailed materials investigations aiming for process/structure/property evaluation and modelling, related to advanced manufacturing processes. This includes the use of a variety of different laboratory methods such as mechanical and µ-mechanical testing, optical microscopy, SEM-EDX/EBSD, X-ray tomography, and XRD. Your work will be integrated in a team which will give guidance for project applications for future missions.
Education
You must have student status and be enrolled at university for the entire duration of the internship. You should preferably be in your final or second to last year of a university course at master's level in a technical or scientific discipline.
Additional requirements
The working languages of the Agency are English and French. A good knowledge of one of these is required. Knowledge of another Member State language would be an asset.
Additional Requirements:
If you require support with your application due to a disability, please email .
