The Company : AGC Glass Europe

- European branch of the AGC group, based in Belgium.

- Produces, processes and distributes flat glass for the construction industry, the automotive industry and various high-tech applications.

- 14.000 employees.

- 18 float glass lines, 10 automotive glass processing centers and more than 100 distribution-processing units in Europe.

You at AGC’s Technovation Centre – GMR (Glass Melting and Refractories) Department – your mission

• You will be based at the Technovation Centre close to Brussels (Belgium) where research & development, engineering and IP activities are centralized under one roof with 280 members of personnel
• You will join a dynamic team of researchers inside the GMR department - active in areas from raw materials to glass melting, numerical simulations, energy audits, endoscopic inspection of production furnaces, (extra)thin glass, industrial data mining and analysis amongst others
• You will be involved in projects aiming to decarbonise our glass production by using electrical melting and/or hydrogen combustion, which are the most promising options to decarbonise the glass industry. Design adjustments and process improvements will be necessary, requiring furnace numerical simulations and industrial trials.
• Specific training and support will be put in place from the first months with our researchers and technicians.
• Your main responsibilities will involve numerical simulation of flat glass furnaces ie
• Drawing and meshing furnace geometries
• Simulating glass flow and temperature, and combustion (of natural gas and/or hydrogen) in the furnaces
• Reporting and making recommendations
• Validating simulation results based on industrial trials
• Coordinating with other departments (engineering, production, IP, …)

Your profile

A love of sience is in your blood with very good academic results in one of the following fields: civil engineer, master or PHD in applied mathematics, physics or IT. In all cases (must have) you have acquired a solid background and training in numerical simulations. As such, you display the following competences:

• Advanced analytical skills
• Problem solving , results oriented
• Ability to communicate results to both technical and non technical colleagues
• Ability to solve challenging problems by using innovative non conventional approaches
• Knowledge in the following simulation tools is an asset: Ansys Fluent
• Excellent team working and communication skills
• Flexibility and adaptability
• Hungry for learning and growth
• Fluent in English (essential). Knowledge of French is a plus.

Why You Should Apply

• You’ll be part of a committed, smart, fun team respectful for diversity
• You’ll get wide-ranging exposure to different aspects of glass and technology.
• We offer competitive compensation with 40 days holiday, a casual office environment, training/homeworking opportunities and respect for autonomy
