- (Junior level) Minimum of 2-3 years of hands-on experience with high temperature materials processing in an academic, laboratory, or industrial setting
- (Senior level) Minimum M.S., preferred Ph.D. degree from an accredited college or university or equivalent experience in one of the following areas: Metallurgy, materials science, chemical engineering, inorganic chemistry, or a closely related field
- (Senior level) Strong theoretical background in chemical thermodynamics, kinetics, mass transport, and inorganic materials chemistry
- (Senior level) Minimum of 3-5 years of hands-on experience with high temperature materials processing in an academic, laboratory, or industrial setting
- (All levels) Creativity and a strong desire to innovate in the metals industry
- (All levels) Expertise in the design, execution, and analysis of pyrometallurgical, solid-gas reaction, or melt experiments
Responsibilities:
- Evaluating pathways and conditions to decarbonize ferroalloy and stainless steel manufacturing across mineral processing, metal smelting, and product refining operations
- Preparing mineral and metal samples for experimental testing
- Designing and conducting high temperature pyrometallurgical, electrometallurgical, and melt-based experiments for a range of processing conditions and chemistries
- Characterizing mineral and metallic products via appropriate analytical methods and interpreting results
- Analyzing thermodynamic, kinetic, mass transport, and chemical metallurgical phenomena to inform process scalability
- Calculating mass and energy balances to evaluate the competitiveness of newly identified sustainable metals processes
- Communicating results with members of the Green Metals Team and to other research and development groups within Outokumpu
