    Default job background
    Full time
    Description

    The Opportunity

    • Are you a Senior Research Engineer with expertise in designing and building continuous flow reactors?
    • Lead critical research activities in the Advanced Materials and Processing program
    • Join CSIRO - Australia's National Science and Innovation Agency

    CSIRO's Manufacturing research is based on multi-disciplinary scientific and engineering capabilities and uses world-class infrastructure. We partner with industry to develop innovative products and processes that allow Australian manufacturers to be globally competitive and environmentally sustainable.

    The position of Senior Research Engineer will form part of a commercial project team within the Advanced Materials and Processing program and will work on an industry-funded project for the design, development, and construction of a reforming unit for generating hydrogen gas from a hydrogen carrier.

    This role will lead critical research activities for designing, building, commissioning, and testing of a Demonstrator Scale hydrogen reformer unit. The reformer unit will utilise a hydrogen carrier molecule and generate hydrogen gas through catalytic processes. The Senior Research Engineer will work under the project leader, and be a part of a multidisciplinary project team, including engineers, chemists, materials scientists and other peers.

    Your duties will include:

    • Leading staff and influencing other internal and external partners to achieve the project's goals and promote the Business Unit in external forums.
    • Identifying and adapting to changes in client needs and market changes.
    • Developing challenging but realistic research plans and negotiating and managing resource requirements with research managers or clients.
    • Taking responsibility for smaller research projects or elements of larger projects within and/or across Business Units.
    • Assisting other research chemists in planning and (if necessary) performing chemical reactions on scale, including separation and purification in order to meet engineering designs.
    • Acting as a trusted advisor, utilising knowledge of the clients' business and understanding of their underlying needs.
    • Providing supervision and coaching to students and technical staff, as necessary.
    • Working collaboratively as part of a multi-disciplinary, regionally dispersed research team to carry out tasks in support of CSIRO's scientific objectives.

    Location: Clayton, VIC
    Salary: AU$117,917– AU$138,176 plus up to 15.4% superannuation

    • Demonstrated track record of using continuous flow processing and liquid/gas and gas-phase processing.
    • Demonstrated ability to prepare P&IDs and other engineering drawings for chemical processes.
    • Demonstrated experience and track record of chemical processes on pilot-/production-scale, including design, building and commissioning hydrogen gas reforming units.
    • Experience in the use of catalysis, e.g., for the generation of hydrogen.
    • Demonstrated use of Computer Aided Design (CAD) software for the design of chemical reactor apparatus.
