Job description
Within Michelin’s Ladoux Technology Center, you will join the Tests and Measurements design office and contribute to a high-value technical project exploring new solutions for stripping coatings from testing machines. You will work in a multidisciplinary environment alongside experts in automation, mechanics, industrial computing and test-equipment development.
Your mission
You will assess the feasibility of different physical and technological solutions for stripping surface coatings used on tire-testing machines.
- Gather user and stakeholder requirements.
- Help draft specifications and identify technical, environmental and safety constraints.
- Analyze the materials and residues to be removed.
- Conduct a literature review of applicable physical principles.
- Identify and compare available technologies and market components.
- Build a benchmark of potential solutions.
- Select relevant scenarios and define test protocols.
- Lead and conduct experimental trials.
- Analyze results and formulate recommendations.
- Document the study and propose a relevant industrial solution and development paths.
Main deliverable
A feasibility study of physical principles and components for stripping surface coatings from Michelin tire-testing machines, including technical recommendations and a review of the state of the art.
Profile
Engineering-school or equivalent university science student, specializing in a general technical field, materials, mechanics, applied physics or a related discipline.
Priority skills include materials physics, experimental methods, scientific analysis, research and testing methodology, technical data analysis and synthesis writing. Knowledge of high-power laser systems, surface-treatment processes and industrial characterization or testing tools is appreciated.
We are looking for scientific curiosity, autonomy, initiative, analytical ability, rigor, teamwork, an interest in experimentation and technical problem-solving, dynamism and adaptability.
Why join Michelin?
