- Understand differences and similarities of the various PM & PN measurement instruments, including particle detection technology, strengths & weaknesses of the methods, and sources of error & uncertainty in PM measurements
- Collaborate with engine and aftertreatment test engineers in development and testing of methods to reduce PM emissions, including engine controls and gasoline particulate filters (GPF)
- Interact with APTL & ELD dynamometer facilities, providing expert knowledge in the operation of PM/PN instruments and the interpretation of PM emissions results
- Develop experiments to evaluate new technologies in PM detection instruments or sensors
- Technical support of engineering fire fights for high PM during program delivery or post-production evaluations (e.g., IUVP/IUCP)
You'll have...
- Minimum B.S. in Physical Sciences or Engineering (Chemistry, Physics, or Chemical Engineering)
- 5 – 10 years of experience in the combustion engine emissions field
- Experience with chassis or engine dynamometer facilities (VERL or APTL) and an understanding of their operations with respect to vehicle drive cycles and data collection from the various emissions instruments
- Sound technical knowledge of combustion-based PM measurement methods
- Familiarity with the complex physical & chemical characteristics of combustion-based particulate
Even better, you may have…
- 5+ years of experience with soot and particulate analysis
