Process Engineer – Flat Rolled Products

Elmet Euclid LLC•Euclid, OH

3d•$90,000 - $115,000•Onsite

About The Position

Producing thin-gauge refractory metal sheet and foil requires precise control of materials, equipment, and manufacturing processes. Elmet Technologies is hiring a Process Engineer – Flat Rolled Products for our Euclid, Ohio facility to develop, oversee, and improve the manufacturing processes used to produce flat-rolled molybdenum, tungsten, and toll-processed products. This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll work directly with Manufacturing and Quality to solve production problems, improve process capability and material yield, develop new products and processes, and ensure our manufacturing methods consistently meet demanding customer requirements. If you’re an engineer who likes being close to manufacturing and seeing the results of your work on the production floor, this is an opportunity to make a measurable impact. Elmet specializes in high-performance materials including tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, and niobium. At Euclid, this role focuses specifically on the manufacturing processes associated with thin-gauge refractory metal sheet and foil. That gives you the opportunity to deepen your expertise in flat rolling and advanced materials while building broader experience across process engineering, metallurgy, quality, equipment, tooling, and continuous improvement. Elmet Technologies is a U.S.-based manufacturer of precision-engineered products serving demanding industries including aerospace, defense, semiconductor, and energy. Our Euclid operation combines specialized materials with advanced manufacturing processes to produce products where consistency, quality, and performance matter. As a Process Engineer, your work will directly influence how those products are manufactured, how effectively our processes perform, and how we continue improving them.
