  • Monitor and improve green sand systems and overall foundry process performance.
  • Analyze casting defects, determine root causes, and implement sustainable corrective actions.
  • Identify, lead, and implement continuous improvement projects focused on quality, productivity, cost reduction, efficiency, and process optimization.
  • Monitor production data, manufacturing trends, and quality metrics to identify opportunities for improvement.
  • Maintain chemical and mechanical certification programs.
  • Support pattern layouts, tooling improvements, and process development for new and existing products.
  • Update manufacturing routings, bills of material, and process documentation to reflect process improvements.
  • Evaluate and implement new technologies related to foundry process control, metallurgy, and manufacturing improvements.
  • Partner closely with Operations, Engineering, Maintenance, Production, and Quality teams to resolve technical manufacturing issues and improve plant performance.
  • Supervise, coach, train, and develop Foundry Laboratory Technicians, including scheduling, performance management, and daily technical support.
  • Provide metallurgical and technical training for supervisors, technicians, and production personnel.
  • Support customer quality investigations and corrective action activities.
  • Drive initiatives to improve Cost of Quality, reduce PPM, and increase customer satisfaction.
  • Ensure compliance with ISO 9001 quality standards and internal quality management systems.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Metallurgy, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent foundry experience.
  • 3+ years of experience in a gray and/or ductile iron green sand foundry.
  • Strong knowledge of metallurgy, melt practices, iron chemistry, foundry operations, and manufacturing process improvement.
