Diesel Emissions Catalyst Engineer - Flow Reactor

Jobtailor; Dearborn (MO); On-site; USD 110,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Jobtailor is seeking a Senior Catalyst Research Engineer to design and execute flow reactor experiments, collect data with FTIR/MS/GC, and apply kinetics to interpret performance. You will develop 1D catalyst/monolith models and contribute to durability studies, ensuring alignment with emissions standards.

The role requires 5+ years in catalysis, hands-on flow reactor experience, and collaboration across modeling, design, and quality teams to drive robust, scalable catalyst solutions for

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemistry or related field.
• Minimum of 5 years of relevant industry or research experience in catalysis, emissions control, or related fields.
• Hands-on experience with flow reactor systems and gas analysis techniques (FTIR, MS, GC, or similar).
• Solid understanding of heterogeneous catalysis, reaction kinetics, and mass transfer principles.

Responsibilities

• Design, execute, and analyze bench-scale flow reactor experiments to generate catalyst performance data.
• Operate and maintain flow reactor systems with FTIR for gas-phase quantification.
• Develop 1D catalyst/monolith models and extract kinetic parameters.
• Design catalyst aging protocols to evaluate durability under real-world conditions.
• Coordinate catalyst characterization (BET, SEM, XRD, XRF, chemisorption) and relate aging to performance loss.
• Collaborate with modeling, design, systems engineering, and quality teams to translate findings into design/calibration decisions.
