R&D Engineer

To enforce one of our teams we are looking for an enthusiastic:

R&D Engineer

Your challenge:

·         The responsibilities are multidisciplinary. You will participate in engineering research projects about natural ventilation, bomb blast, thermal insulation, earthquake, fire, structural strength, energy performance of buildings and acoustics.  You are closely involved in ongoing projects and you realise a number of key projects yourself.

·         You have a close collaboration with experts in these fields (universities, research centers,…) and follow up or coordinate research projects carried out by the external experts. You translate the results and knowledge from these studies into solutions for Reynaers.

·         You work together with the different R&D teams in Belgium and the different foreign subsidiaries.

·         You perform regularly simulations (FEM) and calculations. Some examples:

o    Defining maximum dimensions and weights

o    Design optimization based on acting stresses and displacements

o    Improvement of thermal insulation

o    Estimation and calculation of acoustic performance based on test results

o    Giving advice about bomb blast and earthquake resistance

·         Is a test needed? Then you organize it and analyse the results. Or even more interesting: you carry out the test yourself (e.g. tensile testing bench) in our Technology Centre.

·         During the different development phases you support the colleagues in the Development team by creatively thinking along with them and giving advice or solutions.

·         You spread knowledge within the Reynaers group to support the sales of our products.

·         You follow market trends (low energy buildings, ventilation, FEM simulation, digitalization, process automation...) and make proposals for engineering projects or work method improvements.

·         You regularly follow training courses, both internally and externally, so that you are always up to date with new developments and technologies.

Your profile:

·         You have a master’s degree in engineering.

·         You have a strong interest in everything that has to do with simulations, energy, acoustics, strength, automation of processes, …

·         You can work analytical and independent. You put great importance to both theoretical calculations as well as practical testing.

·         You are a fluent communicator, both in Dutch and English, and a dedicated team player.

·         You don’t lose track of your objectives and are excellent in finding solutions when challenges appear.

·         You are outstanding in project and time management. You manage to handle different tasks.

·         You look forward to an international working environment.

Our Offer:

A state-of-the-art and international working environment in a company that is a global leader in its field and where constant innovation is the common drive.

In addition, we offer a specific training program that will enable you to thoroughly manage all aspects of your role. This training program can later be expanded with additional training on new systems. We also guarantee:

·         A pleasant and dynamic work atmosphere with a new challenge every day.

·         The chance to leave your mark on the future with a socially responsible and sustainable company focused on innovation and digital technology.

·         A competitive salary and numerous extra-legal benefits in return for your expertise and dedication.

·         A mobility plan that offers you the opportunity to commute to work easily, healthily, and environmentally friendly.
