Lead Engineer - Tribology

About the role

As a Lead Engineer with expertise on Tribology & Fretting in the Mechanics and Design Organization, you will focus on advancing the understanding of surface interactions, wear mechanisms, and material behavior under fretting conditions. This role involves conducting experimental research, developing predictive models, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to improve product performance and reliability of aerospace applications.

What you'll do

• Conduct experimental studies on tribological systems, including wear, friction, lubrication, and fretting fatigue
• Develop and validate predictive models for tribological and fretting behavior in various materials and coatings
• Analyze surface interactions using advanced characterization techniques (e.g., SEM, XRD, profilometry, etc.)
• Collaborate with design, materials, and manufacturing teams to optimize components for improved durability and performance
• Investigate failure mechanisms and propose solutions to mitigate wear and fretting issues in aerospace applications

What you need

• Any graduate
