Scientist - Tribology modeling
Key responsibilities

In this role, you will drive tribological model development to support SKF's Technology Strategy. You will be part of the Tribology & Life team and collaborate in multiple R&D projects.

Your main responsibilities will be to:

• Develop and validate tribological models that describe surface failure modes, taking into account the impact of contact conditions, materials, topography and lubrication;
• Develop tribology models aimed at predictive and prognostics tools;
• Contribute to the development of nextgeneration bearing life models;.
• Act as a bridge between Tribology and other competence areas (steels, coatings, lubrication,);
• Actively transfer knowledge towards less senior colleagues;
• Initiate and lead Research and Technology Development Projects;
• Publish scientific articles in peerreviewed journals and attend conferences.

Job requirements

• A PhD in computational tribology or related field with significant (contact) modelling experience. Elastohydrodynamic (EHL) modelling expertise is of particular interest;
• Relevant experience of more than 10 years after PhD and broad knowledge of theoretical solid and fluid mechanics, and various modeling techniques is essential;
• Outstanding scientific track record at top peerreviewed journals and prestigious conferences;
• Demonstrated experience in computational tribology with the focus on modeling various surface failure modes under (mixed) lubrication conditions;
• Broad knowledge of advanced numerical methods for solving contact mechanics problems (e.g. familiarity with FFT, Boundary Integral Method, Finite Element Method,is a must);
• Experience in modeling elasticplastic contact between rough surfaces under (mixed) lubrication conditions;
• Knowledge and understanding of multiscale physics of contact problems is of particular interest;
• Practical experience of (inhouse) code development using modern programming languages is a must;
• Experience in developing physics informed neural networkbased methods for solving partial differential equations is a plus;
• You are a selfmotivated, proactive team member. You are customerfocused and resultoriented;
• Willing to learn and develop, selfdriven, independent professional with excellent collaboration skills;
• Strong stakeholder management and leadership skills;
• You have excellent communication skills (verbal and written) with good command of English language.

Our objective shines brightly:

SKF is committed to creating a diverse environment, and we firmly believe that a diverse workforce is essential for our continued success.

Therefore, we only focus on your experience, skills, and potential. Come as you are - just be yourself. #weareSKF

Together, we re-imagine rotation for better tomorrow.
