Function background
The CRM Group’s Advanced & Smart surface Solutions (A3S) unit develops new coatings and surface treatments to bring innovative functionalities to metal products, and applies them to a wide range of applications (photovoltaics, fuel cells, Li-ion batteries, smart objects, surface protection in harsh environments, etc.). Among the processes used to functionalize surfaces are dry deposition (vacuum plasma deposition) and wet deposition technologies.
In addition to laboratory simulators, the CRM Group also has large-scale pilot tools for carrying out surface treatments.
The A3S unit is made up of a dynamic team of multidisciplinary managers and technicians, working in close collaboration on various research projects and also transversally with the Group’s other units. The ability to work as part of a team is therefore a key skill. Good interpersonal skills are also essential to maintaining the team’s positive working atmosphere. The unit’s potential for innovation on today’s major issues (energy, digitalization, environment, etc.) is very high, generating ground-breaking research projects and motivating challenges, requiring the ability to acquire new skills and an aptitude for flexibility.
The direct superior supports a participative management style, open dialogue and initiative-taking.
