Job title: BERN Development Intern – Oxygen Sensors
Location: Anderson, SC
Term: Open
Degree/Major: BS, MS or PhD / Ceramic Engineering or Material Science
Job Description:
Work on development team which is developing a second generation thermal shock
resistant automotive oxygen sensor. The chosen intern will perform engineering
tasks to choose and evaluate new materials and processes and evaluate their use
in oxygen sensors to support meeting team goals.
Team goals are:
1. Reduce energy usage by replacing Atmospheric Plasma Spray system (high
electricity and argon demand) which is used to apply a sensor element coating to
improve thermal shock resistance.
2. Reduce raw material usage (overspray material is waste).
3. Improve thermal shock resistance of oxygen sensors, which will lead to a further
reduction of emissions by enabling advanced emissions controls.
4. This new technology may be adapted to a new intake oxygen sensor, which will
enable a further degree of advanced engine control to reduce fuel consumption.
Knowledge and Skill Set:
Ability to design, perform, and analyze experiments.
Knowledge of materials properties, particularly at high temperatures.
Knowledge of and experience working with ceramic processing technologies
and materials and functional testing equipment.
