This position is for a hardware developer performing materials characterization on IBM products. Working with other scientists and engineers, the candidate will use techniques such as Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (GCMS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and other techniques to analyze fundamental properties and failures of materials. The candidate will communicate those results in a written report as well as a presentation if needed.
