Research Engineer - Isostatic Products

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About The Opportunity" then "What You’ll Do", "What You Bring", "What We Offer", "About RHI Magnesita". We need to use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). But we can adapt headings to match content. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map sections accordingly: "About The Opportunity" could be "About the role". "What You’ll Do" could be "Responsibilities". "What You Bring" could be "Requirements" or "Qualifications". "What We Offer" could be "Benefits". Also maybe "About RHI Magnesita" could be omitted? It's company description; maybe we can include as a separate section like "About the Company" but not in list; but instruction says prefer few substantive sections; we could include it as a paragraph under About the role? However they said preserve ALL substantive information; we can include it as a

after the heading maybe under "About the role" or separate heading like "About the Company". Since they didn't list that as allowed heading but they said use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but they gave examples. Safer to stick to those headings. We can incorporate company description into "About the role" paragraph. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we need
  • . For requirements list also
    • . For benefits list also
      • . Use

        for prose. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to include Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. The posting mentions "Competitive Salary" and "Comprehensive Benefits Package – Including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and disability coverage." Also "401(k) Retirement Plan – With company matching", "Paid Time Off", "Training & Development", "Inclusive Work Environment". So we have benefits and salary info. So we can have a Benefits section with list. Pay: "Competitive Salary" is mentioned but no specific number; we should not create Pay section if it's just "Competitive Salary" with no detail? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Competitive Salary". That is a statement about pay, albeit vague. Should we include Pay section? It says "Competitive Salary" is a statement; it's not filler like "not specified". It's a real statement. So we could include a Pay section with a

        stating Competitive Salary. However they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Pay and Benefits into one Benefits section? But they said use headings for Benefits, Pay, Schedule separately. Might be okay to have Pay section with a short paragraph. Schedule: not mentioned, so omit. We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. Let's extract content. About The Opportunity: paragraph: "RHI Magnesita is seeking a Research Engineer to join our team in Ashtabula, Ohio. In this role, you will apply your technical expertise to the development and improvement of isostatically pressed, resin-bonded refractory products used in continuous casting applications. You will play a critical role in advancing product performance, optimizing manufacturing processes, and developing innovative, cost-effective solutions through applied research and development. This position offers the opportunity to work across the full product lifecycle, from laboratory research and material development to plant trials and industrial implementation. You will collaborate closely with Operations, Quality, Technical Marketing, Sales, and Global R&D teams to bring new technologies and product enhancements to market" We can keep that as prose under About the role. Responsibilities (What You’ll Do): list of bullet points (they are sentences separated by periods). We need to convert each sentence into

      • . Let's list them: - Develop new materials and refractory solutions for continuous casting applications, from laboratory concept through commercial implementation. - Conduct applied research focusing on resin-bonded graphitic materials, glazes, raw materials, and product development. - Identify innovation and technology development opportunities through customer engagement, industry research, literature reviews, and cross-functional collaboration. - Design, coordinate, and evaluate plant and production trials in partnership with Operations and Quality teams. - Supervise raw material and product development trials, ensuring effective execution and analysis of results. - Support field trials alongside Technical Marketing and Sales to validate product performance and customer value. - Investigate product failures and support root cause analysis and resolution of customer complaints. - Analyze competitor products and emerging technologies to identify market opportunities and maintain technical leadership. - Provide technical support to manufacturing operations as needed. - Coordinate and prioritize research technician activities and project workloads. - Work collaboratively with global R&D teams and regional operations colleagues on strategic development initiatives. - Drive projects independently while making sound technical decisions and adapting approaches as project needs evolve. We'll put each as
      • . Requirements/Qualifications (What You Bring): list: - Bachelor's degree in Materials Science, Ceramic Engineering, Chemistry, Engineering, or related scientific discipline required. Consideration will also be given to candidates with an engineering background with a core understanding of ceramic and/or refractory technology. - Technical understanding of ceramic and/or refractory materials and manufacturing processes. - Experience in an applied technical, manufacturing, materials, or research environment preferred. - Hands-on experience working with materials, products, or manufacturing processes is highly desirable. - Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate research findings into practical applications. - Excellent project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively. - Proficiency with Microsoft 365 applications, including Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. - Experience with CAD software, 3D printing technologies, or SAP is a plus. - Strong written and verbal communication skills, including technical report writing and presentations. - Highly organized, self-motivated, and capable of working both independently and within cross-functional teams. - Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across multiple organizational levels. We could split into two sections: Requirements and Qualifications, but we can combine into one Requirements section. The instruction gave examples: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could separate: Requirements (education, experience), Qualifications (technical understanding, skills), Skills (specific proficiencies). But to keep few sections, we can have one Requirements section with all. But we might want to separate Skills: proficiency with MS 365, CAD, SAP, etc. However not necessary. We'll make a Requirements section with
        • for each bullet. Benefits section: list: - Competitive Salary - Comprehensive Benefits Package – Including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and disability coverage. - 401(k) Retirement Plan – With company matching to help you plan for your future. - Paid Time Off - Training & Development – Access to learning resources and career development programs. - Inclusive Work Environment – A culture that values diversity, safety, and collaboration. We could also have Pay section separate: Competitive Salary. But we already have it as first bullet in Benefits. Might be redundant. Better to have Pay section with just "Competitive Salary" and Benefits section with rest. However they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Having Pay as a separate thin section may be thin. Could combine Pay and Benefits into Benefits section, but then we lose Pay heading. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It doesn't forbid combining them. But they gave examples of headings: Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It may be okay to have only Benefits section that includes salary info. I'd go with Benefits section only, including Competitive Salary as first bullet. Thus we have sections: About the role (h3), Responsibilities (h3), Requirements (h3), Benefits (h3). Possibly also About RHI Magnesita? Could incorporate into About the role paragraph after the opportunity description. We'll add a paragraph after the opportunity description: "RHI Magnesita is the leading global supplier..." etc. That is substantive. We need to preserve all substantive information; we must not omit the company description. So we will include it as a

          under About the role. Now produce HTML:
