Job description

The Catalyst Design and Release Engineer supports the development of gasoline aftertreatment systems (ATS) technologies to meet required emissions standards (e.g., TIER4, California LEV IV, EURO7, China 7, PL8, etc.) for future propulsion applications. Development activities will focus on three-way advanced catalyst (TWC) technologies and gasoline particulate filter (GPF) requiring the application of a strong background in kinetics, reactor design, transport, and program management. The scope of this work will range from ER&D and aftertreatment specification, supplier collaboration, calibration development, program launch, through full useful life (FUL), and any in-use issues that may occur. Other Proof of Concept aftertreatment projects may be in-scope depending on the applicant’s skillset and background.

This position is on-site at the Chrysler Technology Center in Auburn Hills, MI and will report directly to the Calibration Engineering Lead under the direction of the North America Engineering Manager for Emissions and Aftertreatment.

The CatalystDesign and ReleaseEngineer will have the following responsibilities:

• Interaction with supply chain and internal teams to facilitate the creation, sourcing, and coordination of providing ATS for propulsion calibration development

• Investigate new, innovative emissions system technologies such as advanced catalyst technologies and optimized, low PGM solutions

• Develop ATS solutions for future vehicles that account for system trade-offs of cost, performance, complexity, etc., while meeting all quality and regulatory requirements

• Develop requirements for catalyst component plant and control models (including catalyst and aging characterization)

• Define and direct multiple externally based technology development projects at both suppliers and/or partners to meet ATS critical needs

• Support quality improvement efforts, share lessons learned from internal and post-production experience to prevent future recurrence, and perform benchmarking analysis

• Lead and/or support production development activities leading to and enabling vehicle launch (ATS procurement, supplier interactions, PPAP, APQP, aging, etc.)

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Chemical Engineering or Chemistry from an ABET accredited university

• 3+ years of experience in kinetics, reactor design, transport, and program management

• 1+ years of experience in demonstrated gasoline ATS development

• Fundamental knowledge of chemistry and engineering principles

• Data processing skills especially relating to test engine dyno and vehicle emissions

• Proficient with Microsoft Office Suite applications

• Strong organizational skills

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Strong leadership and interpersonal skills

• Ability to effectively operate both independently and as part of a team

• Self-motivated and proactive

Preferred Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in demonstrated gasoline ATS development

• In-depth understanding of advanced catalyst technologies (substrates and catalyst washcoat design and coating) related to TWCs and GPFs for gasoline engines: hardware, emissions calibration, diagnostics, controls, modeling/simulation, etc.

• Ability to plan, test, analyze, and solve complex system problems as they relate to the entire propulsion system to meet key objectives such as performance, emissions, backpressure, diagnostics, NVH, quality, fuel economy, etc.

• Apply proper procedures and methodologies for project management (planning, scheduling, and reporting) to reach project deliverables including use of tools such as: MS Project, Excel, etc.

• Experience with automotive supply chains for hardware.

• Experience with Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) proactive engineering methods, including Design of Experiments (DoE)
