Chemical Engineer

We are looking for a Chemical Engineer with a strong background in chemistry and understanding of catalyst function and durability for exhaust gas treatment of internal combustion engines.

Additional responsibilities:

• Working to evaluate and investigate aftertreatment technologies in the lab to improve emission control for increasing stringent standards
• Characterization of materials for catalyst substrates, particle filters, and exhaust assemblies including SEM, CTE, shear strength, porosimetry, XFR, XRD, and BET
• Performing catalytic activity evaluation of monolithic samples and/or full size aftertreatment systems
• Benchmarking supplier formulations for catalyst robustness and durability
• Collaborate with aftertreatment test engineers, technical specialists and catalyst coaters and substrate suppliers on new concepts for aftertreatment
• Collaborate with calibration teams, suppliers, and technical specialists to support root cause determination and prevent reoccurrence for warranty emission issues or post-production in-use concerns (e.g., IUVP/IUCP)
• work to assemble and maintain reactor and catalyst assemblies for testing and demonstration of function
• Validation of laboratory results on vehicle applications by dyno/ chassis rolls testing for emission demonstration and analysis of on-vehicle function
• Analysis of vehicle emissions data to quantify sensitivity of tailpipe emissions to aftertreatment design parameters and operational noise factors

Must Haves:

• Bachelor of Science in Physical Sciences or Engineering (Chemistry, Physics, or Chemical Engineering)
• 3-5 years of experience in combustion engine emissions
• Experience with chassis or engine dynamometer facilities
• Strong understanding of three-way catalysis
• Technical knowledge of regulated emissions requirements
• Excellent oral and written communication skills

Plusses:

• Programming experience including LabVIEW and MATLAB
• Emissions measurement techniques including FID, FTIR, Mass Spectrometry and X-ray analysis
• Experience analyzing, planning and solving system problems in relation to engines and emissions

Compensation: $45-$65/hr

Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education.

Benefit packages for this role will start on the 31st day of employment and include medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as HSA, FSA, and DCFSA account options, and 401k retirement account access with employer matching. Employees in this role are also entitled to paid sick leave and/or other paid time off as provided by applicable law.
