Senior Process Modelling Scientist

We are looking for a Senior Process Modelling Scientist to join our Green Metals Team in the Greater Boston Area, Massachusetts, USA.

In Outokumpu's Green Metals Team, we aim to leverage the best available avenues in both state of the art technologies and emerging disruptive innovations to establish a new paradigm in environmentally sustainable metals production. Our scientific and engineering efforts are focused on inventing and validating innovative solutions for decarbonization and new product development in extractive and chemical metallurgy. We are seeking a decidedly motivated reactor modelling scientist with a passion for innovation to join our Team. Together, we will collaboratively address technical challenges in ferroalloy and stainless steel manufacturing. As a member of our Team, you will be key part of our effort to design, demonstrate, and implement new mineral treatment and metal smelting processes for a range of materials and applications.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Ph.D. degree from an accredited college or university or equivalent experience in one of the following areas: chemical engineering, metallurgical engineering, mining engineering,

materials science, systems engineering, or a related field

• Strong understanding of heat transport, mass transport, kinetic, and thermodynamic phenomena within chemical reactors
• 5+ years of experience in chemical or metallurgical process technoeconomics, process modelling, and or life cycle assessment
• Creativity and a strong desire to innovate in the metals industry

We desire candidates with some cross section of these skills and proficiencies:

• Strong leadership, organization, collaboration, and communication skills
• Familiarity with the chemistry of minerals, slags, mattes, and metals
• Familiarity with current processing pathways for major commodity metals, including steel, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, aluminum, and copper
• Process modelling via software packages such as Aspen Plus
• Thermodynamic calculations for chemical metallurgy applications using software packages such as FactSage, Thermo-Calc, or HSC Chemistry
• Technoeconomic modelling
• Life cycles assessment
• Data analysis and engineering calculations using software packages such as MATLAB, python, or Microsoft Excel
• Statistical methods for data and sensitivity analysis

Your role would include:

• Process flowsheet modelling and simulation to support the selection and design of new pathways for mineral treatment and metal production processes
• Analyzing heat and mass balances, technoeconomics, and sustainability criteria to inform metallurgical/chemical system chemistry, reactor design, process selection, and

feedstock selection

• Working with various stakeholders to conduct process sensitivity analysis to understand technoeconomic and sustainability uncertainties in the selection, design and

implementation of new reactor technologies

• Collaborating with team members to help establish best laboratory, engineering, and operational practices for metallurgical production processes
• Communicating your modelling results with members of the Green Metals Team and to other research and development groups within Outokumpu

What we offer:

• Competitive benefit package including health, dental, disability, life and voluntary insurance options.
• Time to recharge through PTO plus paid holidays and parental leave.
• Work-life balance with a flexible work schedule so you can focus on your professional and personal priorities.
