SABIC – Saudi Basic Industries Corp. Hiring For Scientist at Bengaluru, Karnataka Full Time

JOB PURPOSE

Work closely with experts from application development, segment, marketing, and product teams to conceptualize. design, simulate, prototype and evaluate thermoplastic-intensive designs leveraging SABIC products for a broad and varied application space, including, but not limited to, automotive, electrification, E&E, packaging, building & construction, healthcare.

Job Responsibilities

Effectively leverage modeling, virtual prototyping, and simulations to demonstrate the potential for light-weighting, down-gaging, part-integration, and design-flexibility using thermoplastic solutions, while developing optimized designs that meet the requirements for manufacturability, assembly, and structural and functional performance

Participate in, lead, and drive programs on application design, processing and / or performance simulations for customers in partnership with cross-functional stakeholders (Market Development & Technical Service, Sales, Technology, Marketing and Product Management teams, customers and external parties) to support segment growth.

Extend technical expertise and support in addressing customer needs for application development, through design evaluations; simulations of processing and / or performance; and design optimization.

Clearly Map customer requirements, specifications and expectations, as well as evolving segment trends, into application design, engineering, and processing benchmarks, and develop detailed simulation, design, testing, and validation strategies to achieve them

Keep track of advances in application design and manufacturing trends, and the associated simulation strategies. Evolve the PE&D simulation competence roadmap to ensure preparedness for addressing simulations for evolving application space.

Address queries from internal stakeholders and external Customers on simulations and material-models, and as appropriate, work with Applications and cross-functional teams to carry out exercises for ensuring and improving simulation data quality

Work closely with simulations and application development teams to arrive at robust strategies and methods for test-data analysis, material-model parameterization, verification and validation.

Proactively identify opportunities to generate new intellectual property (IP) for the company, protect them through various IP tools, and document novel findings and methodologies using internal documentation and reports. Identify opportunities to present relevant contents and value proposition of SABIC solutions at appropriate external forums including conferences and customer meetings.

MINIMUM EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS

Coursework / minors / projects / theses involving the topics of material modeling, simulations, design or optimization would be a plus

Relevant and proven industrial experience on application development and simulation projects (e.g., within or interfacing with OEMs, Tiers or Engineering Agencies)

Experience in simulation using commercial software for processing simulations (e.g., MOLDFLOW / MOLDEX 3D / Star-CCM+ / Fluent) and / or for performance simulations (e.g., ABAQUS / LS-Dyna / OptiStruct / DigiMat / COMSOL-Multiphysics)

Experience in design for manufacturability (e.g., mold design, tooling, cooling, aesthetics) and / or design for performance (e.g., ease of assembly, part-integration, local reinforcement, hybrid solutions) would be a plus.

Understanding of material models that are employed for simulations, and some knowledge of testing methodologies required for generating such data would be a plus

A good understanding of strategies to ensure high quality and accuracy of simulations

Some experience in simulation of and practical know-how associated with advanced processing (e.g., multi-component, Injection compression molding (ICM), 2K-ICM, compression molding, extrusion) would be a plus

Some simulation knowledge / practical know-how associated with design and processing using multi-material / multi-phase systems (such as fiber-reinforced plastics, foams, hybrid solutions) would be a plus

Some practical understanding of plastics processing, assembly, secondary operations, and application testing would be a plus
