Job Description:

The Optimal Inc. Advanced Emissions team is seeking a highly skilled chemist/chemical engineer with a strong background in chemistry and understanding of catalyst function and durability for exhaust gas treatment of internal combustion engines.

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.
  • Collaborating with aftertreatment test engineers, technical specialists, and catalyst coaters and substrate suppliers on new concepts for aftertreatment.
  • Collaborating 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.

Requirements:

  • 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.
  • Prefamiliarity with programming software including LabVIEW and MATLAB.
  • Familiarity with emission measurement techniques including FID, FTIR, mass spectrometry, and x-ray analysis.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • 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:

  • Minimum B.S. in Physical Sciences or Engineering (Chemistry, Physics, or Chemical Engineering).

Salary: $120,000 - $160,000 per year, depending on qualifications and experience.
