Work Experience

Metal powder or nanoparticle synthesis (Ag, Cu or similar); particle size and morphology control; powder characterization

Powder development
Design and run wet-chemical synthesis of metal powders (e.g. chemical reduction/precipitation of silver and copper).
Control particle size distribution, morphology (spherical, flake), tap density and surface area.
Develop surface treatments and coatings that improve dispersion and paste stability.

Characterization
Characterize powders by PSD (laser diffraction), SEM, BET surface area, tap density, TGA/DSC and residual organics.
Correlate powder properties with paste rheology, printing and electrical performance with the paste team.

Scale-up & support




Write synthesis procedures and transfer processes to the Metal Powder Process Engineer for scale-up.
Support troubleshooting of powder-related quality issues in production.
Evaluate external powder suppliers and recent raw materials.

Lab & safety
Supervise the assigned technician's daily work.
Keep accurate lab notebooks and reports; follow chemical safety and waste handling rules, including precious metal accounting.
