Chemical research engineer vs plastics engineer

Differences between chemical research engineer and plastics engineer duties and responsibilities

Chemical research engineer example responsibilities.

• Prepare research proposals for the synthesis of small molecules to attain designate department goals.
• Support projects with detail analysis including SEM, spectroscopy, etc.
• Observe modified surfaces of nanofibrils cellulose with scanning electron microscope (SEM).
• Synthesize and characterize colloidal room-temperature ferromagnetic CoFe2O4 nanoparticles.
• Help develop new products, produce data and run experiments.
• Process NMR data both manually and electronically to find coupling constants and other information relevant to elucidation of the chemical structure.

Plastics engineer example responsibilities.

• Lead several independent, cross-functional projects and improve manufacturing quality, reduce cost, ensure environment are supported and FDA compliant.
• Prove out a new rapid prototyping technique.
• Investigate and develop some of the latest rapid prototyping methods.
• Demonstrate proficiency in statistical process control (SPC), analyze data and calculate capability study using SQC pack software.
• Conduct engine fit and function tests with prototype electrical hardware to ensure product meets customer requirements in performance and durability.
• Study abroad in Ireland and Spain learning about sustainability in engineering, including renewable energy types and energy conservation techniques
