Research Scientist
We are seeking a dynamic Research Scientist to join our Materials & Industrialized Manufacturing Technologies Research Group! This person will significantly contribute to our technology strategy and help shape our roadmap in the field of advanced (including additive) manufacturing and sustainability.
This research group provides pre-development and research services including prototyping, technology evaluation and assessments in many areas of Advanced Digital Manufacturing and Circularity. We are demonstrating the complete value chain needed for future manufacturing and clean energy solutions including materials simulation, electrochemical applications, data traceability for closed-loop control, recycling and life cycle analysis. The team, co-located in Charlotte NC and Princeton NJ, provides tremendous opportunities because digitalization solutions using the Siemens software applications in combination with new technologies can be developed and quickly tested in a real productive environment. The group also collaborates strongly with other teams in the US and globally on topics like Materials, Manufacturing, Automation Technologies, Simulation, Digital Twin, and Artificial Intelligence.
This role is in Princeton but requires regular travel to Charlotte. This outstanding opportunity allows to work in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility as well as in other labs. The right person for this role understands the history of advanced manufacturing and has a passion for driving technology innovations!
In this role, you will work on-site in our US headquarter in Princeton, NJ however, travel to our Charlotte, NC facility will be necessary, as project needs require.

Basic Qualifications
- Master’s or PhD degree with industrial experience in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Material Science, or Manufacturing Engineering required.
- 4+ years of experience with materials process knowledge and potential circularity and sustainability opportunities.
- 4+ years of experience in the areas of clean energy solutions working within academia, industry, or military/government.
- Experience working in an independent technical role.
Preferred Qualifications
- Flexibility and resourcefulness to work in a growing, dynamic, and international team with a strong customer service orientation.
- Capable of presenting sophisticated technical topics in a clear and structured way, and ability to moderate discussions, meetings, and projects
