Akkodis is seeking a chemical engineer for the Advanced Emissions Team with one of our clients in Allen Park, MI.
Rate Range: $39.00/hour to $43.00/hour; the rate may be negotiable based on experience, education, geographic location, and other factors.
For this particular assignment, candidates must be authorized to work in the U.S. without employer sponsorship.
What We're Looking For:
The candidate we are seeking will have a strong background in chemistry and understanding of catalyst function and durability for exhaust gas treatment of internal combustion engines.
They will work to evaluate and investigate aftertreatment technologies in a laboratory environment and on vehicles to improve emission control for increasing stringent standards.
The candidate MUST have in-lab experience, and have experience with formulation of catalyst.
Activities:
- 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.
Required Skills:
- 5–10 years of experience in the combustion engine emissions field.
- Extensive in-lab experience.
- Experience working on advanced tech for after-treatment.
- Must have experience with formulation of catalyst.
- 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.
Education Required:
- Minimum B.S. in Physical Sciences or Engineering (Chemistry, Physics, or Chemical Engineering).
