Chemical Engineering Co-op

Role Overview

Kodak provides industry-leading print systems, software, print consumables, and services to customers in commercial print, food and personal care packaging, publishing, manufacturing, and entertainment. Our award-winning digital print technology is found in our own digital presses and in leading original equipment manufacturers around the world (www.kodak.com/en/print/page/oem-inkjet-solutions). Our recent awards in Production Print recognize solutions with respect to quality, productivity, connectivity, workflow, and print media range – as well as environmental impact(www.kodak.com/en/company/press-release/groundbreaking-innovations).

Kodak is looking for a chemical engineering co-op student, in a bachelor program to contribute to the development of our continuous inkjet technology digital print materials. Our continuous inkjet technology provides the opportunity to work on complex, multidisciplinary problems.  Engineering co-op projects involve understanding and analyzing these problems and proposing material design/process solution alternatives.  

At our Rochester NY R&D labs you will work with other engineers and chemists to develop coatings/primers, ink materials and processes for current and future generations of inkjet writing and printing press systems for the packaging market (www.wideformatimpressions.com/article/the-2020-intertech-technology-awards-innovations-worth-knowing-about/) You will work with a mentor engineer on lab/bench level testing and hands on coating and laminating processes  The co-op will gain experience both in design and analysis methods as well as analytical and physical property testing methods.
