Job description

Beehive Industries is dedicated to Powering American Defense by revolutionizing the design, development, and delivery of jet propulsion systems to support the warfighter. Through the integration of additive manufacturing, the company aims to meet the growing and urgent needs for unmanned aerial defense by dramatically improving a jet engine's speed to market, fuel efficiency, and cost.
Founded in 2020, the company is headquartered in Centennial, Colorado, with additional facilities in Knoxville, Tennessee, Loveland Ohio, and Mount Vernon, Ohio. Beehive is committed to grow and advance the defense industrial base while manufacturing exclusively in the USA. This role will be located at our Loveland, Ohio facility.
Role Overview
We are looking for a Principal Casting Engineer to serve as the lead technical authority for our internal casting needs. This is a hands-on, high-impact role dedicated entirely to ensuring Beehive's innovative engine platforms have a fast, reliable, and vertically integrated path from design to flight-ready hardware.
You will be the technical lead responsible for the internal casting of Beehive's proprietary engine components. You will work as a core member of the team to translate complex engine designs into successful, high-integrity cast components. This role is critical to scaling precision casting operations, introducing new technologies, and supporting cross-functional product innovation. The ideal candidate will have a strong command of metallurgical science, casting simulation, defect analysis, and automation opportunities, with a track record of delivering complex components at scale.
What You'll Do...
Technical Leadership
    • Act as the technical authority for the casting process, leading process definition, control, and continuous improvement across all programs
    • Mentor engineers in casting fundamentals, advanced metallurgy, and best practices
    • Review and approve gating/riser designs, shell configurations, and critical process documents for development and production programs

Process Innovation & Development
    • Lead development of next-generation casting processes including single crystal (SX), directionally solidified (DS), equiaxed (EQ), and additive-enabled casting workflows
    • Develop robust casting parameters for nickel-based superalloys, titanium, cobalt, and advanced steels in vacuum or inert environments

Simulation & Data-Driven Engineering
    • Oversee use of casting simulation tools (e.g., MAGMASOFT, ProCAST) to predict defects, optimize gating, and reduce trial iterations
    • Drive adoption of data analytics and digital twins to correlate process parameters with quality outcomes and productivity KPIs

Quality & Compliance
    • Define critical-to-quality (CTQ) metrics and ensure compliance with AS9100, NADCAP, and program-specific specifications
    • Lead complex RCCA investigations using 8D, FMEA, and Six Sigma methodologies
    • Interface directly with stakeholders as the SME on casting process capability and conformance
