Surface engineer jobs in Finland

Surface engineers research and develop technologies for manufacturing processes that assist in altering the properties of the surface of bulk material, such as metal, in order to reduce degradation by corrosion or wear. They explore and design how to protect surfaces of (metal) workpieces and products utilising sustainable materials and testing with a minimum of waste.

Surface engineer - Which skills are essential?

Materials and techniques required in the production and distribution processes.

The various types of oxidation reactions with the environment, such as rusting, copper pitting, stress cracking, and others.

The engineering elements like functionality, replicability, and costs in relation to the design and how they are applied in the completion of engineering projects.

Apply mathematical methods and make use of calculation technologies in order to perform analyses and devise solutions to specific problems.

The steps required through which a material is transformed into a product, its development and full-scale manufacturing.

Adjust designs of products or parts of products so that they meet requirements.

Mathematics is the study of topics such as quantity, structure, space, and change. It involves the identification of patterns and formulating new conjectures based on them. Mathematicians strive to prove the truth or falsity of these conjectures. There are many fields of mathematics, some of which are widely used for practical applications.

Gain, correct or improve knowledge about phenomena by using scientific methods and techniques, based on empirical or measurable observations.

Create technical designs and technical drawings using specialised software.

Drawing software and the various symbols, perspectives, units of measurement, notation systems, visual styles and page layouts used in technical drawings.

The systematic approach to the development and maintenance of engineering systems.

The field of engineering concerned with the development, improvement, and implementation of complex processes and systems of knowledge, people, equipment, etc.

The engineering discipline that studies ways to counteract environmental deterioration, such as corrosion and deformation of surfaces of materials, by altering the properties of the surfaces and making them resistant to the environment in which they will be used.

Give consent to the finished engineering design to go over to the actual manufacturing and assembly of the product.

Surface engineer - Which skills are useful but not essential?

The various techniques for joining pieces of metal together by melting and applying a filler metal into the joint between the two pieces such as silver soldering and induction soldering.

Field of science and engineering that researches new materials on the basis of their structure, properties, synthesis, and performance for a variety of purposes, including increasing fire resistance of construction materials.

The behaviour of solid objects when subjected to stresses and strains, and the methods to calculate these stresses and strains.

Record data which has been identified specifically during preceding tests in order to verify that outputs of the test produce specific results or to review the reaction of the subject under exceptional or unusual input.

Understand electrical engineering, a field of engineering that deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism.

Various processing methods on iron and iron-containing alloys such as steel, stainless steel and pig iron.

The different methods of welding together pieces of metal using various equipment, such as oxygen-acetylene welding, gas metal arc welding and tungsten inert gas welding.

The different types of waste which poses risks to the environment or public health and safety, such as radioactive waste, chemicals and solvents, electronics, and mercury-containing waste.

Develop testing protocols in collaboration with engineers and scientists to enable a variety of analyses such as environmental, chemical, physical, thermal, structural, resistance or surface analyses on a wide range of materials such as metals, ceramics or plastics.

The natural science involving the study of matter, motion, energy, force and related notions.

The environmental policies and legislation applicable in a certain domain.

The techniques used to assess the characteristics of materials, products and systems without causing damage, such as ultrasonic, radiographic, and remote visual inspection and testing.

Qualities, specifications, applications and reactions to different fabricating processes of various types of metal, such as steel, aluminium, brass, copper and others.

Interpret and analyse data collected during testing in order to formulate conclusions, new insights or solutions.

Use specific non-destructive testing methods and equipment that do not cause any damage to the product, such as X-rays, ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle inspection, industrial CT scanning and others, in order to find defects in and assure quality of a manufactured and a repaired product.

Discipline that applies principles of physics, engineering and materials science to design, analyse, manufacture and maintain mechanical systems.

Analyse the ability of materials to endure stress imposed by temperature, loads, motion, vibration, and other factors using mathematical formulae and computer simulations.

Recognise the symptoms of metal showing oxidation reactions with the environment resulting in rusting, copper pitting, stress cracking, and others, and estimate the rate of corrosion.

The composition, structure, and properties of substances and the processes and transformations that they undergo; the uses of different chemicals and their interactions, production techniques, risk factors, and disposal methods.

Semiconductors are essential components of electronic circuits and contain properties of both insulators, such as glass, and conductors, such as copper. Most semiconductors are crystals made of silicon or germanium. By introducing other elements in the crystal through doping, the crystals turn into semiconductors. Depending on the amount of electrons created by the doping process, the crystals turn into N-type semiconductors, or P-type semiconductors.
