Everything would be very different without Arcelor Mittal, the world’s leading steel and mining company. Buildings. Vehicles. Home appliances. Technology products. All of them are made of our steel. And our steel is made by you. Working to the highest standards and putting safety first, you can join us to create the steel that tomorrow’s world will be made of.
We are seeking leaders to help us transform the future of steel, who want to impact the world with innovative ideas, boldness and creativity.
For us, people who think differently generate innovative solutions and more creative responses to challenges. Therefore, we value diversity as a source of new perspectives for business and promote an inclusive work environment, in which everyone has the same opportunities for human and professional development.
And naturally you expect a fair salary, paid holidays and other benefits. And of course, you are looking for job satisfaction. What else is there? At Arcelor Mittal USA Research the answer is there is a lot more.
Join our team.
Arcelor Mittal Global R&D – East Chicago Center is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Steelmaking Engineer to join our dynamic team. This role is central to advancing our steelmaking R&D capabilities, particularly in developing innovative processing practices and supporting the industrial production of the next generation of electrical steel and specialty steels.
The position will focus on the efficiency improvement of Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) and the enhancement of steel cleanliness, inclusion engineering, castability, and product quality. A major emphasis will be placed on secondary refining process development, leveraging both fundamental metallurgical principles and applied R&D tools. This is a strategic role within Arcelor Mittal’s global R&D network, designed to support both NAFTA and global operations in producing cleaner, higher-performance steels—a critical requirement as new product development continues to push cleanliness standards to unprecedented levels.
The successful candidate will demonstrate strong problem-solving skills, the ability to address complex process challenges, and a passion for implementing AI and digitalization tools to enhance process efficiency, safety, and sustainability across the entire steelmaking value chain. A deep understanding of steelmaking process metallurgy, including thermodynamics, steel/slag interactions, and the manufacturing of diverse steel grades, is essential to excel in this position.
This position reports to Global R&D – East Chicago and is based at our research laboratory in East Chicago, Indiana. It also requires periodic travel to Arcelor Mittal plants in North America and globally.
Job Description:
The successful candidate will lead and contribute to projects focused on application of new technologies in the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) and secondary metallurgy process optimization, slag chemistry, inclusion engineering, and steel cleanliness improvement. The role involves conducting applied and fundamental research in the field of primary and secondary metallurgy to understand steel/slag interactions, inclusion formation, and their effects on product quality, as well as developing of emerging processes/product technologies relevant to primary/secondary processes for advanced steel grades, including electrical steels.This position requires the ability to design and execute experiments, analyze steel and slag samples, and interpret results using data analytics and digitalization tools. The candidate will also participate in root cause analyses of process or quality issues and help develop practical solutions for industrial implementation. The ideal candidate should possess a strong theoretical background in steelmaking process (primary and secondary) metallurgy, hands‑on experience with secondary refining and continuous casting, and the ability to collaborate effectively across Arcelor Mittal R&D…
