The EPDM R&D Process Engineering Intern work in the Research and Development lab where he/she will be part of a team of chemists and engineers. They will work on a project to explore formulation changes in a lab environment to quantity the impact on product quality and processing parameters. The intern will learn about the Roofing Membrane industry, chemistry/formulation, raw materials, process safety, process equipment, and product quality requirements. In addition to those, the intern will interface with all facets of the business to learn where a R&D Chemist/Process Engineer can fit into a manufacturing facility. The intern will receive an introduction to EPDM end-use applications, manufacturing processes and formulations, as well as lab and pilot-scale chemistry techniques. Basic statistical methods will be utilized to design experiments and analyze data obtained, and the intern will be expected to utilize academic research as a tool to explain the relationship between Science and Process application improvement Duties and Responsibilities: * Work to understand the product chemistry and the production process. * Assist with operation of lab machinery to produce EPDM mixes for testing. * Coordinate and assist with physical property testing on material produced. * Execute basic statistical analyses to evaluate relative performance of EPDM formulations. * Present research findings to R&D group and CCM executives * Conduct data analysis using Minitab and/or Excel. * The candidate will create a PowerPoint presentation that will be presented to CCM team along with all other summer interns. * Submit a final formal report with findings. #LI-AH1
