Job summary

EvoMaterials, a division of Outokumpu Stainless, seeks a Mechanical Engineer to lead design and modification of high-temperature furnace systems and plant equipment in Londonderry, NH. This role blends hands-on mechanical design with responsibility for furnace, auxiliary equipment, and facility modifications.

The ideal candidate has 10+ years in equipment design, strong CAD skills (AutoCAD/Inventor/Navisworks/Revit), and experience in sulfur-bearing environments above 1,000°C.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or closely related field.
• 10+ years of experience in equipment design, preferably in the metallurgical industry.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, and Navisworks.
• Understanding of materials compatibility in sulfur-bearing atmospheres above 1,000°C (1,832°F).
• Familiarity with piping and plumbing requirements, PIP practices, ASME standards, NFPA standards, and other relevant design regulations.
• Ability to translate operating and maintenance needs into practical, fabricable engineering designs.
• Strong technical documentation, cross-functional communication, and project ownership skills.

Responsibilities

• Design, evaluate, and modify furnace components, feeding systems, casting molds, carts, and other process and material-handling equipment.
• Own equipment design changes from initial concept through detailed design, fabrication support, installation, commissioning, and final documentation.
• Develop and review engineering calculations, fabrication drawings, specifications, bills of materials, and installation requirements.
• Coordinate with operations, maintenance, electrical, controls, process engineering, and fabrication teams to develop safe, reliable, and maintainable equipment.
• Use Revit, where applicable, to support integrated plant modeling and layout coordination.
• Use AutoCAD and Navisworks to develop, review, and coordinate equipment arrangements, interfaces, clearances, and potential clashes.
• Evaluate material compatibility and expected service performance in sulfur-bearing atmospheres above 1,000°C (1,832°F).
• Account for thermal expansion, temperature gradients, corrosion, mechanical loading, and other service conditions when selecting materials and developing designs.
• Investigate equipment failures and recommend design improvements that increase reliability, maintainability, and service life.
• Maintain familiarity with Process Industry Practices (PIP), ASME standards, NFPA standards, and other governing codes and company requirements.
• Prepare and maintain design calculations, equipment specifications, drawing revisions, material specifications, and supporting compliance documentation.
• Lead the mechanical engineering portion of design reviews and management-of-change activities.
