Chemical Engineer jobs in Michigan

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-$55/hour

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