::: {payxautoid="simple.app.jobpost.jobdescription.content"} JOB TITLE: Applications Development Engineer (Wastewater Process & Field Applications) STATUS: Full Time Position, Salary Exempt SCHEDULE: 8 am -- 5 pm -- must be able to accommodate flexible working hours, particularly for lab work, WWTP visits, pilot testing, and travel. 45--50 hours/week. SUPERVISOR: Engineering Manager This is an onsite position located in Saginaw MI and is not eligible for relocation. Summary: Duperon Corporation (DC) manufactures patented screening, compacting and dewatering equipment that is customized (made to order) for each project. The Applications Development Engineer supports R&D and Product Engineering by developing, validating, and optimizing wastewater applications involving fine screening, Membrane Bio Reactor (MBR) pretreatment, sludge handling, biological processes, thickening, and dewatering. The role requires wastewater operator knowledge, pilot testing, field sampling, laboratory testing, regulatory awareness (NPDES), and hands-on validation at municipal and industrial Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs.) Essential Duties: • Required to conduct field and pilot-scale testing at WWTPs, document equipment performance, screening capture, solids behavior, hydraulic impacts, and downstream effects to the plant (e.g., MBR, pumps, clarifiers). • Document engineering work, sampling logs, lab results, process observations, and technical reports aligned with internal R&D protocols. • You will perform testing and data interpretation; must be able to convert findings into actionable process recommendations. • You will develop sampling plans, maintain chain-of-custody, and ensure data integrity aligned with regulatory expectations. • You will need to develop repeatable process parameters (flows, loading, capture efficiency, operating envelopes) for wastewater applications. • You will perform wastewater sampling and laboratory testing such as: TSS/VSS, SSV/SSV30, SVI, jar tests, pH/alkalinity, DO, ammonia/nitrate/nitrite, orthophosphate, Fats Oils and Grease (FOG), sludge profiles. • Diagnose and trouble shoot process issues such as blinding, ragging, solids carryover, grit capture and carryover, sludge handling, MBR fouling trends, odor/corrosion drivers, biological upsets; recommend corrective actions. • Interpret SCADA / plant trends, flow data, pump run times, event logs; correlate equipment behavior to plant-wide performance. • Coordinate with vendors/suppliers/consultants/sites to secure materials and services; keep projects on schedule and within budget. • Support installation, startup, troubleshooting, sampling and operator training for Duperon equipment and pilot systems. • You will need to represent our "you'll like working with us" creed. • Ability to create a "partnership" relationship with our customers and team members. Education Education: High School diploma required; BS in Environmental/Civil/Mechanical Engineering or equivalent wastewater operations experience is required Preferred: Wastewater Operator Certification (Class B/C or equivalent), familiarity with fine screens, MBR systems, sludge management, thickening, dewatering; basic instrumentation/controls understanding. SolidWorks Experience is a plus. Skills and Knowledge: • Required: 4 years' experience in wastewater treatment operations, laboratory testing, equipment startup, process optimization; R&D or pilot testing experience. • Required: Able to read mechanical blueprints and Electrical diagrams. • Required: Knowledge of Wastewater processes and operator-level understanding. • Required: Strong communication skills, verbal and written, to communicate with operators, superintendents, and plant engineers and Duperon product team. • Required: Strong documentation skills (testing plans, SOPs, technical reports). • Required project :::
