Offer Description

Cross-functional missions:
Establish the state of the art in micro-sensors for measuring VOCs in industrial environments, with a particular focus on ethanol measurement. Maintain a constant technology watch to remove identified technological barriers. Contribute to a more detailed definition of specifications. Participate in various CIR ITPS and Factolab events related to the factory of the future theme and PLANET orientation.

Tasks at Michelin's Ladoux site: Carry out VOC concentration measurement campaigns in the direct environment of mixers, from laboratory scale to industrial-scale mixers. Determine the concentration range of ethanol and other VOCs emitted during mixing operations Characterize the evolution dynamics of ethanol emissions during mixing cycles Identify the most relevant sampling points for the installation of micro-sensors.

Missions at the Institut Pascal, Campus des Cézeaux: Develop, characterize and validate the ethanol performance of the different families of microsensors developed by the Institut Pascal team. Quantify the impact of the presence of other VOCs and the influence of experimental conditions (flow rate, temperature, relative humidity).

- Develop, characterize and calibrate the team's micro-sensors against ethanol vapors - Develop and instrument a platform for characterizing micro-sensors under controlled ethanol and humidity conditions
- Carry out VOC spot measurement campaigns on the Michelin site.
- Analyze data to identify micro-sensor installation points and potential interferents.
- Record actions taken during the project, collect and interpret all experimental data, write progress reports and present results to academic and industrial partners.

Fine, selective measurement of volatile organic compounds in atmospheres as complex as those found in industry remains a real metrological challenge, with many technical challenges to overcome. This highly exploratory and experimental project requires a global perception of the methodology to be implemented, from the development of micro-sensors to their integration in real-life conditions via optimization in the laboratory. The person recruited will be assigned to clearly identified research and development missions, which will be carried out at the two partners' R&D facilities: the Institut Pascal's Micro-Systèmes Capteurs Chimiques (MS2C) platform, attached to the UCA Partner department of the Université Clermont Auvergne, and Michelin's mixing unit platform, on the Ladoux site. It will contribute to the operational launch of the “Air quality and VOCs” project, part of the PLANET orientation of the joint laboratory between UCA and Michelin, FACTOLAB.

- PhD in Electronics and Systems, Engineering Sciences - Metrology or Instrumentation, Metrology and Control.
- Experience in measuring and/or capturing VOCs would be a plus.
- Ability to work with academic and industrial partners (Nice to have: CIFRE thesis).
- Ability to work on multidisciplinary subjects.
- Good skills in English (B2 level minimum), digital and communication tools.
