Coatings Engineer/Scientist Co-op

Lydian · Boston

Applies on Ashby≈$14-$47/hr

Role overview

You will interface with engineers and scientists across various domains in order to inform your experimental design and research priorities, and your work will directly determine how our catalysts are manufactured at scale.
Development of slurry coatings with different powders, binders, rheology modifiers and solvents, including characterization of slurry properties (for example, , viscosity, particle size, solids loading) and their effect on coating quality
Application of coatings to monolith substrates and evaluation of coating loading, uniformity, adhesion, and thermal stability
Scale-up of promising formulations to coat large substrates (catalyst monoliths > 5 in long), translating small-sample recipes into repeatable processes for full-size parts

This is an hourly position based in Boston, MA and has a minimum commitment of 6-months.
B.S. or M.S. candidate in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Ceramic Engineering, or related field
Hands-on, proactive mentality when it comes to lab work and pushing ideas forward
Interest in high-temperature materials science.

Experience in slurry formulation and coatings (for example, , washcoating, dip coating, rheology, dispersion of ceramic powders) preferred but not necessary
Understanding of reaction kinetics, heat transfer, and mass transport at an undergraduate level; familiarity with heterogeneous catalysis concepts is a plus
