TotalEnergies's Automotive, Recycled and Compounds (ARC) Business Unit develops and sells Polypropylene (PP) and PP-based compounds to the automotive industry and has established a very good position with all European car manufacturers such as VW Group, Stellantis, Renault Group, PORSCHE, Mercedes BMW and their Tier 1 equipment manufacturers (Motherson, OPmobility, Simoldes, Magna, FlexNGate...). ARC is also active on non automotive markets (agroindustry, electronics, water management...) thanks to its resins and special compounds based on polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS). ARC materials are transformed by its customers into exterior and interior parts in light vehicles (e.g. bumper, body panel, door panel, center console...)

ARC is a fast-growing business that is globally expanding its production and sales activities, focusing on the development of recycled polypropylene applications while intensifying its activity in China and North America.

As a Technical Support and Development Engineer, you will be integrated into the TSD team in charge of the development and the technical assistance to our customers. Some products are painted and unpainted exterior grades; the main customer requirements are the good vprocessability, the perceived quality (exterior aspect of painted or non painted surfaces), dimensional stability over time , but also resistance to thermic and climatic ageing. The grades for interior application, airbag housings or under the hood applications might also be subject to odour, emission or flammability requests.

The carbon footprint of the product is the background of the vast majority of the developments, leading to the integration, or even the substitution of virgin materials by recycled ones.

In this context, the main missions will be :

• You will interface with the internal and external laboratories working on the project, synthesize the results and present it during the follow-up reviews.
• You will be the referent of the technical documentation and updates of the technical databases of the products on which they work.
• You will participate to some formulation meetings and will also present the trial requests to the planning team.
• In support of the Technical Manager, you will also be responsible for monitoring and coordinating customer technical complaints, working closely with TSD engineers and production plants.
• In a second step as you increase your skills, you will be required to interact with customers on "exterior materials" projects under the control of the project manager.
