Vesuvius is a global leader in metal flow engineering, providing a full range of engineering services and solutions to its customers worldwide, principally serving the steel and foundry industries. As a fast growing company, we are looking for new talents.
Purpose of the job:
The purpose of the job is to plan and carry out optimization programs in support of developing an improved the design of Flow Control refractory products in contact with molten steel. The optimization method will be applied to improve the resistance to failure of refractory products in a diversity of applications and fit for customer purposes. The expectation is that the development of new technologies will be built upon the simulation of wear mechanisms, and these will be used to develop new products and grow the Flow Control business globally.
