Salaried/Skilled Trades NSG Group•Northwood, OH

About The Position

Essential Functions: Design of multi-layer coatings to achieve desired optical and electrical properties. Optically model multi-layer coatings to predict properties. Investigate processing-structure-property relationship as it relates to coating electrical properties. Develop and oversee experimental plans for depositions in the CVD lab. Evaluation of coating performance characteristics of lab, trial, and production samples, including reflected and transmitted color, solar transmission, thermal emissivity, electrical resistance, adhesion, composition, etc. Interpret analysis results to provide feedback and direction to the technical or commercial teams. Collaborate with teams at the UK and Japan Technology Centres. Interact with thin film specialists from outside the NSG Group, including high technology customers and/or universities. Use statistical software (JMP) and methods for data analysis including Design of Experiments methodology, process capability, SPC, t-tests, etc. Adherence to NSG/Pilkington Standards of Business Conduct and its Values and Principles Other duties as assigned by manager
