Synthetic materials engineer jobs in Finland
Synthetic materials engineers develop new synthetic materials processes or improve existing ones. They design and construct installations and machines for the production of synthetic materials and examine samples of raw materials in order to ensure quality.
Synthetic materials engineer - Which skills are essential?
Safely handle industrial chemicals; use them efficiently and ensure that no harm is done to the environment.
Identify the workflow and resource requirements for a particular process, using a variety of tools such as process simulation software, flowcharting and scale models.
The steps required through which a material is transformed into a product, its development and full-scale manufacturing.
Parts of the machine that melts and injects molten plastic into moulds such as the hopper, the reciprocating screw, the injection barrel and the injection cylinder.
Adjust designs of products or parts of products so that they meet requirements.
The elements used in design such as unity, scale, proportion, balance, symmetry, space, form, texture, colour, light, shade and congruence and their application into practice.
The relevant chemical processes used in manufacture, such as purification, seperation, emulgation and dispergation processing.
Utilize tools that are powered by hand, such as screwdrivers, hammers, pliers, drills and knives to manipulate materials and help create and assemble various products.
The engineering discipline that studies the design, construction and maintenance of naturally built works such as roads, buildings, and canals.
Design engineering parts, assemblies, products, or systems.
Take the necessary precautions for storing, using and disposing chemical products.
Handle chemicals and select specific ones for certain processes. Be aware of the reactions which arise from combining them.
Manage processes by defining, measuring, controlling and improving them with the goal to meet customer requirements profitably.
Types of plastic materials and their chemical composition, physical properties, possible issues and usage cases.
Check the quality of basic materials used for the production of semi-finished and finished goods by assessing some of its characteristics and, if needed, select samples to be analysed.
The production and characteristics of synthetic materials such as synthetic fibres, synthetic paper, synthetic resins or synthetic rubber.
Manage the interaction with and impact on the environment by companies. Identify and assess environmental impacts of the production process and related services, and regulate a reduction of the effects on the environment and on people. Organise action plans and monitor any indicators of improvement.
Analyse production processes leading toward improvement. Analyse in order to reduce production losses and overall manufacturing costs.
The production and characteristisc of organic basic chemicals such as ethanol, methanol, benzene and inorganic basic chemicals such as oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen.
Synthetic materials engineer - Which skills are useful but not essential?
Test the composition, characteristics, and use of materials in order to create new products and applications. Test them under normal and extraordinary conditions.
Exchanging and conveying information, ideas, concepts, thoughts, and feelings through the use of a shared system of words, signs, and semiotic rules via a medium.
Use various techniques to ensure the product quality is respecting the quality standards and specifications. Oversee defects, packaging and sendbacks of products to different production departments.
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.
Produce thoughts using logic and reasoning in order to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions, conclusions or approaches to problems.
Create technical designs and technical drawings using specialised software.
Perform the maintenance on installed equipment on-site. Follow procedures to avoid uninstalling equipment from machinery or vehicles.
Assemble machines according to instructions and specifications.
Analyse the principles that need to be considered for engineering designs and projects such as functionality, replicability, costs and other principles.
The national and international requirements, specifications and guidelines to ensure that products, services and processes are of good quality and fit for purpose.
Compose technical customer reports understandable for people without technical background.
Prepare technical reports that describe results and processes of scientific or technical research, or assess its progress. These reports help researchers to keep up to date with recent findings.
Use computer-aided design (CAD) systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimisation of a design.
Quality assurance principles, standard requirements, and the set of processes and activities used for measuring, controlling and ensuring the quality of products and processes.
Design and construct machines and installations for manufacturing purposes.
Electrical apparatus that are able to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy (generators), electrical energy to mechanical energy (motors), and change the voltage level of an AC or alternating current (transformers).
Prepare resources and activities to execute installation maintenance, according to budget needs.
Measure the raw materials prior to their loading in the mixer or in machines, ensuring they conform with the specifications.
