Job description

Tiffany & Co. is one of the most legendary brands in the world today. With a history that spans back to 1837, Tiffany & Co is a jeweler and specialty retailer, whose merchandise offerings include an extensive selection of jewelry, as well as timepieces, sterling silverware, China, crystal, stationery, fragrances, and accessories. Tiffany & Co. operates different manufacturing facilities in the US, where jewelry products unique to our company are crafted by a diverse workforce.

Position Overview

The NPI Casting Process Engineer drives casting optimization and process development during the early stages of new product integration; translating complex design intent into manufacturable, high-quality casting solutions. This role works cross-functionally with CAD Developers, Project Leads, and Manufacturing Engineers to ideate and refine sprue systems, leveraging an in-depth understanding of fluid dynamics, solidification behavior, shrinkage compensation, and defect mitigation strategies. Utilizing advanced flow simulation tools, the engineer analyzes fill and solidification results to predict and resolve potential issues including porosity, cracking, cold shuts, and incomplete fills. These insights guide iterative sprue optimization and process parameter adjustments. The engineer is responsible for initiating and managing trial casting work orders, evaluating physical samples for quality, dimensional accuracy, and surface finish, and using non-destructive testing (NDT) methods when appropriate. This role ensures that validated casting designs meet aesthetic and functional requirements prior to production handoff. Final deliverables include detailed casting documentation packages-comprising simulation results, sprue/gating CAD models, validated process parameters, and recommended SOP inputs-that facilitate a seamless transition to manufacturing while supporting first-time quality and long-term process stability

Key Accountabilities

Lead casting design validation by thoroughly analyzing casting simulation data and physical trial casting

results to identify potential. Utilize advanced casting simulation software to evaluate variables that impact

casting quality and reduce scrap rates. Work closely with CAD and Engineering teams to iterate on casting

designs, balancing manufacturability, mechanical properties, and aesthetic requirements to meet both

engineering and design expectations.

Manage trial casting activities by coordinating with cross-functional teams to create detailed work orders,

schedule test runs, and define acceptance criteria for prototype castings. Lead the hands-on evaluation of

cast parts, performing dimensional inspections, non-destructive testing (NDT), and other analysis to verify

accuracy and conformity to specifications. Capture and analyze process data to diagnose deviations and

recommend iterative adjustments to sprue design, tree setup, or casting parameters. 

Document findings and communicate results effectively to stakeholders to support timely decision-making and 

minimize development cycle time.

Apply lean manufacturing and quality tools to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and sources of casting

defects early in the NPI process. Use data-driven approaches to prioritize improvements and implement

corrective actions that enhance yield, reduce cycle time, and improve overall process robustness.

Continuously monitor process metrics during ramp-up phases, driving a culture of continuous improvement

and ensuring sustainable quality performance.

Drive continuous innovation and technology adoption by researching and evaluating emerging casting

technologies, materials, and process improvements. Identify opportunities to incorporate advanced

methods such as additive manufacturing for mold creation, automation in gating system production, or

real-time process monitoring sensors. Collaborate with NPI and manufacturing teams to pilot new

techniques, assess feasibility, and implement best practices that enhance casting quality, reduce cycle

times, and lower overall production costs. Promote a forward-thinking mindset that keeps the casting

process at the forefront of industry advancements and supports long-term competitive advantage.
 

Required Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related discipline; or equivalent hands-on experience in casting process development within the jewelry industry. Strong ability to analyze and solve complex casting process challenges using Root Cause Analysis methods. Experience managing multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced New Product Integration (NPI) environment, with strong organizational and time management skills. Understanding of metallurgical fundamentals relevant to precious metals Ability to perform hands-on inspections of cast parts Working knowledge of CAD software, particularly tools like Rhino and/or Solid works Excellent communication skills (written, verbal, and presentation) to effectively collaborate with cross-functional teams including CAD, manufacturing, and quality. Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Excel Proficiency in statistical analysis and process control technique.

Preferred Hands-on experience with simulation software relevant to manufacturing Knowledge of modern jewelry manufacturing techniques Direct experience in jewelry casting processes, including investment casting Familiarity with project management tools such as Wrike Knowledge of advanced data tools PDM/PLM, ERP, and Tulip systems Experience supporting product launches and production ramp-up
