As a Senior Metallurgical Engineer, you will be responsible for the production of metal, meeting specification, from oxides, as well as the process definition, continuous improvement, documentation, and scale – up of metallization processes.
The ideal candidate is a hands-on subject matter expert in metallurgical reduction and melting processes, with experience translating fundamentals to repeatable, documented, and operable industrial processes.
Responsibilities
Lead the conversion of metal oxides to on-specification metals using thermal and chemical reduction routes.
Continuous, data driven, process improvements, and translation of pilot-scale improvements to full production, prioritizing documentation and management of change.
Author and maintain formal process documentation suitable for training and execution by operations teams.
Partner with R&D, operations, quality, and EHS teams to ensure metallurgical processes are:
- Safe
- Scalable
- Cost-effective
- Environmentally compliant
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers and technicians.
Responsibilities and tasks outlined are not exhaustive and may change as determined by the needs of the business
Qualifications
Bachelor’s Degree or higher in Metallurgical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field
5+ years of hands-on experience in metallurgical process development or production
Strong working knowledge of:
- High-temperature reactions and thermodynamics
- Metal melting and solidification
- Vacuum and controlled-atmosphere processing
Proven experience creating clear, auditable, and operator-ready process documentation.
Experience supporting pilot plant or early commercial operations.
