Job Description:
***POSITON IS FULLY ONSITE***
Position Description:
The Advanced Emissions team within Vehicle Propulsion Systems
Engineering is seeking a chemist/ chemical engineer with a strong
background in chemistry and understanding of catalyst function and
durability for exhaust gas treatment of internal combustion
engines. Working to evaluate and investigate after-treatment
technologies in the laboratory environment at Research & Innovation
Center and on vehicle Test Laboratory to improve emission control
for increasing stringent standards.
Job Responsibilities:
- Characterization of materials for catalyst substrates, particle
filters, and exhaust assemblies, including SEM, CTE, shear
strength, porosimetry, XRF, 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)
- General 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 Skills Required:
- Understanding of catalyst function, failure modes, and
sensitivity to inputs and noise factors
- Experience with chassis or engine dynamometer facilities and an
understanding of their operations with respect to vehicle drive
cycles, emission reports, and data collection using ATI
Vision/ETAS
- Sound technical knowledge of regulated emission
requirements
- Excellent written and oral communication skills are
required.
- Pref Familiarity with programming software including LabVIEW
and MATLAB
- Familiarity with emission measurement techniques including FID,
FTIR, mass spectrometry, and x-ray analysis Experience Required:
- 5 - 10 years of experience in the combustion engine emissions
field.
- Prefer 5+ years demonstrating ability to analyze, plan, and
solve sophisticated system problems as they relate to engines and
emissions. Education Required:
- Minimum B.S. in Physical Sciences or Engineering (Chemistry,
Physics, or Chemical Engineering)
