Stellenbeschreibung
Overview
This role sits within MADECOLD, a Horizon Europe-funded project focused on multi-material additive manufacturing using electrostatic cold spray. The position will be based at University College Dublin and centers on creating and controlling a new solid-state additive manufacturing approach built around charging powder particles and accelerating them through a specially designed electrostatic field.
In this process, powder impacts a substrate and material is deposited layer by layer, with the build controlled through movement of the substrate on an X-Y stage. The broader aim is to develop, validate, and recommend a 3D printing method that is more adaptable and scalable than current approaches. The work will involve regular collaboration with academic, research, and industry partners.
The appointment is planned to begin in September 2026.
Technical Focus
Applicants should have a strong background in one or more of the following areas: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or Control Engineering.
- Design and control of X-Y stages for substrate motion
- Control-strategy coding using tools such as Python, C++, MATLAB, or Java
- Process observation and monitoring
- Designing and modelling mechanical components and assemblies using CAD and CAE software
- Robotics
- Micro-manufacturing and fabrication methods such as MEMS fabrication, electrodeposition, and micromachining
Requirements
Minimum qualification: a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related field.
- Prior exposure to automation control systems, robotics, micro-manufacturing, fabrication, or similar technologies
- Understanding of the principles that support successful grant applications
- Ability to prepare academic writing suitable for publication targets
- Experience contributing to research projects
- Clear grasp of what is needed to deliver a successful research project
- Evidence of working effectively with others to meet project milestones
- Awareness of equality, diversity, and inclusion principles
Additional Information
This opportunity is part of the MADECOLD project, which is funded by the EU Horizon programme. Further project information is available at madecold.eu.
Workplace
The role is hosted by University College Dublin in Dublin, County Dublin, Ireland and is on-site.
Start Date
The intended commencement month is September 2026.
