SVILUPPATORE METODI DI TESTING FISICI

Manpower ricerca un/una Scientist Method Development

Purpose of the job:
As a Scientist Method Development, you will use your scientific/engineering knowledge to develop/validate/verify metrological and physical laboratory methods using appropriate testing technologies like test stations based on laser micrometer technologies, dynamometer-based instruments or other relevant testing technologies. You will be asked to apply problem-solving techniques to facilitate improvements of methodologies, processes, products, systems, facilities, and/or equipment. You will also participate in the development of project schedules, estimates test plans, and makes recommendations for technical alternatives.
More specifically, you'll


Develop and validate laboratory testing methodologies according to internal standards. Ensure laboratory staff carries out testing protocols as defined in the related validation protocols and report the results in appropriate validation/development reports
Verify the applicability of the existing testing method portfolio for testing new Smoke-Free Products (SFPs) under development/commercial launch, to ensure testing method readiness to support critical project phases
Contribute to the development of project scope, schedule & estimates, and follow the execution of activities according to the project plan, including deadlines and resource requirements. Inform about any deviation from initial planning and update it in agreement with main stakeholders (e.g. testing laboratories, product designers etc.)
