Agilent Technologies · Turin · €34,112–€53,300 (stated in the posting)

Job Description

We are seeking a motivated Mechanical or Aerospace Engineer to join our Vacuum Technologies R&D team. The successful candidate will be responsible for the design, development, verification, and validation of dry scroll vacuum pumps and rotary vane vacuum pumps, supporting new product development as well as sustaining engineering activities.

The role will focus on the design and development of vacuum pump components and assemblies, with particular emphasis on structural analysis and mechanical integrity assessment. The engineer will leverage simulation tools and experimental methods to evaluate and optimize product performance, reliability, and durability. The position also includes fluid dynamic and thermal analyses, as well as experimental validation activities, to support overall product development and performance optimization.

Key Responsibilities

Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies for scroll and rotary vane vacuum pumps.
Perform structural analyses using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools to evaluate strength, stiffness, fatigue life, and reliability of components and systems.
Support fluid dynamic and thermal analyses to evaluate flow behavior, heat transfer, and overall product performance.
Plan, execute, and analyze experimental validation activities to correlate simulation results with physical testing.
Develop and perform tests to verify structural, fluid dynamic, and thermal performance.
Support noise and vibration investigations through data acquisition and analysis.
Develop test plans, analyze results, and generate technical reports and recommendations.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve technical issues and drive product improvements.
Contribute to the continuous improvement of simulation methodologies, testing processes, and product performance.
Support root cause investigations and corrective actions related to field and manufacturing issues.

Qualifications

Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent technical discipline.
Typically 4+ years of relevant experience in mechanical product development, analysis, or validation engineering.
Strong knowledge of mechanical design, structural analysis, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
Proficiency with CAD software and engineering simulation tools; experience with ANSYS Mechanical, ANSYS Fluent, and ANSYS CFX is strongly preferred.
Knowledge of fluid dynamics and heat transfer principles.
Experience with experimental testing and validation of mechanical systems.
Experience with noise and vibration data acquisition and analysis.
Familiarity with test instrumentation, sensors, and data acquisition systems.
Ability to interpret test data and correlate experimental results with simulation models.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary and international engineering environment.

Nice to have:

Experience with vacuum technology, scroll pumps, rotary vane pumps, compressors, or similar rotating equipment.

Pay range:

34.112,00 - 53.300,00 per annum

The position is classified at Levels B1 or B2 under the CCNL Industria metalmeccanica e della installazione di impianti – Cod. C011, which defines minimum salary levels, pay progression, and working conditions
