Descrição

• Define the process flow for ultra-large forging operations: melting, casting, ingot conditioning, forging sequences, and heat treatment. • Study existing world-class facilities to understand current best practice, and then systematically challenge assumptions about why each process step exists and how it should be executed. • Understand the process steps, parameters, and physical/chemical phenomena that drive homogenization and impurity removal during large ingot casting. • Develop forging process models from first principles: deformation mechanics, thermal profiles, microstructural evolution, and die design for components including reactor pressure vessel shells, steam generator forgings, turbine rotor shafts, and defense applications. • Identify opportunities to fundamentally improve quality, energy consumption, and capital equipment requirements relative to existing global benchmarks. • Collaborate with the project team to produce equipment cost and construction schedule estimates to drive project stage gate deliverables. • Develop the preliminary process design basis document that will feed into detailed engineering for the melting, forging, and heat treatment shops. • Interface with Japanese and allied technical partners to absorb operational knowledge while maintaining an independent, critical perspective on process design.

🎯 Requisitos

• Deep understanding of the process steps, parameters, and physical/chemical phenomena that drive homogenization and purity during from stock materials through large ingot casting. • Deep understanding of grain structure formation as a function of heat treatment parameters • Deep understanding of the thermomechanics of open-die forging, including deformation behavior of low-alloy and stainless steels at forging temperatures, grain refinement mechanisms, and the relationship between forging parameters and final mechanical properties. • Experience with large-scale metal forming, heat treatment, or steelmaking processes—ideally in an environment that valued process optimization and cost discipline, not just process execution. • A demonstrated track record of challenging conventional approaches and developing novel process solutions based on fundamental understanding rather than precedent. • Comfort operating as the domain expert on a team of sharp generalists who will constantly ask “why?”—and the intellectual humility to say “I don’t know yet, let’s figure it out.” • 7–15 years of experience. We are specifically looking for someone who has enough depth to be authoritative but has not spent so long in a single paradigm that they cannot see outside it. • Experience in downstream precision machining is a bonus.
