Want to make your mark on our time? Become a Senior Scientist Advanced Materials at TNO in The Hague!
What will be your role?
As Senior Scientist, Advanced Materials, you will take the lead within the Advanced Materials team in developing and improving new material and protective concepts for high-dynamic loads such as impact - including ballistic impact - or explosions.
