Chemical Systems Engineer

Chemical Systems Engineer

We are looking for a highly motivated Chemical Engineer to join our Advanced Chemical Systems and Integration (ACSI) team within Research and Technology on a 12-month contract. This position will support research and development activities focused on chemical reaction systems for advanced emissions control technologies. It offers the opportunity to apply foundational knowledge in catalysis and reaction engineering to address real-world challenges in clean engine technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Owns problem resolution for moderately complex components, products, systems, subsystems or services with technical complexity and ambiguity increasing as experience is gained in the role.
• Provides independent execution of established work processes and systems, while still developing technology or product knowledge; engages with the improvement of systems and processes.
• Involves minimal direct management of people, but could involve the coordination and direction of work amongst technicians and/or interns.
• Contributes effectively toward team goals, exhibits influence within a work group and continues to develop proficiency in the competency areas critical to success in the role.

Competencies:

• Accelerated Aging Testing and Analysis of Chemical Systems
• Characterization of Chemical Systems
• Chemical Performance Testing
• Collaborates
• Communicates Effectively
• Decision Quality
• Drives Results
• Self-Development
• Values Differences
• Systems Thinking
• Technical Documentation

Qualifications:

• Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, or a related scientific discipline.
• Strong expertise in chemical kinetics, heterogeneous catalysis, and reaction engineering principles.
• Knowledge of engine emissions control technologies, with particular emphasis on Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication, and interpersonal skills.
• Proven ability to work effectively both independently and collaboratively within multidisciplinary research teams.

Experience:

• Demonstrated success conducting research in academic, industrial, or government laboratory environments.
• Hands-on experience operating laboratory-scale catalytic reactors, preferably monolithic and/or packed-bed flow reactor systems.
• Experience in reactor design, construction, and experimental setup is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with catalyst characterization techniques, including but not limited to electron microscopy, BET surface area analysis, temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis, and X-ray diffraction (XRD).
• Strong track record of critical thinking, data analysis, technical reporting, and scientific documentation.
