Research Engineer

ArcelorMittal is the world’s largest steel producer. We use the most innovative technologies to create the steels tomorrow’s world will be made of. Every day over 125,000 of our talented people, located in over 60 countries, push the boundaries of digitalization, and use advanced technologies to create a stronger, faster, and smarter world. To help make this possible, they know they can depend on the support and training that a company of our scope and scale can provide.

Comprising 1,650 researchers spread across 14 Research Centres around the world, our Global R&D team aims to continuously improve the quality of steel and its manufacturing processes. This involves investigating and developing disruptive technologies, reducing the carbon footprint of steel, and optimizing costs while maintaining uncompromising quality. The team's strong multicultural diversity, with over 30 nationalities, offers international experience and makes it possible to meet global needs.

ArcelorMittal Maizières Research is the worldwide largest research centre of ArcelorMittal company. 
The position is located within the Digital Technologies Department of the Maizières Process Research Centre, composed of more than 35 people (researchers PhD, engineers, technicians, trainees…), covering a large spectrum of competencies (sensors, computer vision, data science, automatism, models, physics, …).
The mission of the Digital Technologies Department is to develop digital and sensors-based solutions for process control and optimization on the one hand and quality product control on the other hand. 
The activities of the department are deeply involved in the digitalization of manufacturing processes (industry 4.0), in the creation of the new decarbonization routes of ArcelorMittal, while providing solutions for our factories worldwide.

Your role

Inside a team of 5 people (PhD), you will be involved in several activities linked to online steel product characterization and digitalization (industry 4.0), in which you will contribute to three main research axes:
