- Hands-on experience handling sensitive or reactive liquids (hygroscopic, conductive, or corrosive media) in a laboratory or production context.

- Familiarity with vacuum hardware: pumping systems, pressure measurement at low ranges, outgassing characterisation, leak detection.

- Experience designing or assembling precision sealed systems (seals, fittings, polymer-to-metal interfaces).

- Rigorous experimental habits: clear documentation, awareness of contamination sources, systematic troubleshooting.

- Comfortable working in a small team where the scope of your role will evolve.

- Proficiency in mechanical CAD (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or equivalent).

- Direct experience with ionic liquids or electrochemical systems.

- Familiarity with space environmental requirements (thermal vacuum, ECSS or NASA outgassing standards).

- Experience with low-pressure pneumatic proof testing and pressure system compliance. xhfqzwm
