Aurubis Richmond
Director, Professional Services Division at HTI - Human Technologies, Inc.
HTI is seeking a
Metallurgical R&D Scientist
for a
brand-new facility
in Augusta, GA. This is a great opportunity to work with a state-of-the-art facility and be an important contributor to the growing North American metals supply chain.
What They Offer
Full Medical, Dental, and Vision Benefits on Day 1
401(k) Match
EAP, LTD, STD, and Life Insurance
Competitive Vacation Package
12 Paid Holidays
Relocation Assistance Available
What You Need
Bachelor’s Degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Metallurgy, or a related field
Minimum of 2 years of experience, ideally in R&D, materials analysis, or process engineering
Recent graduates with relevant project or lab experience may be considered
Strong understanding of non-ferrous metallurgy and metal extraction principles, especially copper metallurgy.
Knowledge of pyrometallurgical, hydrometallurgical, and/or electrometallurgical processes
Experience with:
Material characterization and analysis
Process troubleshooting and optimization
Failure analysis and root cause investigation
Familiarity with process simulation or thermodynamic modeling tools (FactSage, Thermo-Calc, HSC, etc.) is preferred but not required
Experience preparing or interpreting process flow diagrams, phase diagrams, and thermodynamic calculations
Candidates must be eligible to work in the U.S. without sponsorship now AND in the FUTURE
What Your Role Will Look Like
As the
Metallurgical Research & Development Scientist , you will be integral to the development and enhancement of metallurgical processes, particularly in non-ferrous extractive metallurgy with a focus on copper. Collaborating with various departments, you will lead process improvement initiatives through simulation and modeling, contribute to R&D projects, and support the broader organization in achieving its production and efficiency goals.
Key Responsibilities
Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including Production, Supply Chain, and Maintenance, to develop and optimize metallurgical processes.
Design and improve processes through simulation, focusing on enhancing production efficiency and effectiveness.
Conduct research and development projects, such as developing new copper alloys and analyzing the impact of using different types of electronic waste.
Utilize process simulation software to model and simulate metallurgical processes, implementing improvements to existing operations.
Prepare detailed process flow diagrams and perform calculations related to mass balance, heat balance, and phase diagrams.
Support other departments by providing expertise on chemical and material compositions and addressing process-related questions.
Ensure compliance with environmental, health, and safety standards, contributing to the development of operating instructions and risk assessments.
Participate in the ongoing development of R&D labs on-site, with a focus on future process improvements and innovations.
