ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

The primary responsibilities of this position include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Specify material and heat treatment procedures for customer quotations and new production orders.
  • Prepare and revise material change documents for new alloys to support costing and melting operations.
  • Support development and maintenance of raw material specifications and melting procedures.
  • Assist melting supervisors with melt analysis questions and cross-application of alloys.
  • Review daily chemistry results of heats poured on third shift to ensure conformance with customer specifications.
  • Develop new alloys or improve existing alloys to meet evolving customer needs and regulatory requirements.
  • Process daily orders to ensure correct alloy selection and heat treatment requirements.
  • Analyze returned parts for metallurgical causes related to performance issues such as service life, corrosion resistance, machinability, weldability, and other properties.
  • Advise current and prospective customers on alloys produced by Waukesha Foundry, with a particular emphasis on anti-galling alloys (nickel-based and copper-based).
  • Respond to customer inquiries regarding alloy performance attributes including strength, corrosion resistance, machinability, weldability, and occasionally pricing considerations.
  • Ensure compliance with industry standards (ASTM, ISO, ASME, SAE, etc.)
  • Support continuous improvement and cost-reduction initiatives
  • Assist with supplier qualification and material audits as needed

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Metallurgy, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3–5 years of relevant metallurgical or foundry experience preferred.
  • Proficiency with CAD/CAM software and a basic understanding of GD&T are a plus.
