  • Experience designing refractory ceramic solutions tailored to customer needs, with an understanding of the relationship between material design, installation practices, and in-service performance preferred.
  • Demonstrated ability to analyze experimental and production data, identify trends, correlations, and anomalies, and recognize deviations from expected behavior using a practical problem-solving approach preferred.
  • Proficiency in interpreting results from advanced materials characterization techniques, including XRD, XRF, and SEM preferred.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively convey technical information to both technical and non-technical audiences.
