  • Analyze process data to improve yield, reduce scrap, and increase throughput.
  • Implement process control systems and standardized work procedures.
  • Ensure robust metallurgical integrity across all casting operations.

Tooling and Product Engineering
  • Direct design and development of gating systems, risers, patterns, fixtures, and tooling.
  • Lead new product introductions (NPI) from concept through production.
  • Review and approve engineering drawings, modeling, simulation, and casting feasibility analyses.

Continuous Improvement and Lean Manufacturing
  • Champion Lean, Six Sigma, and CI initiatives throughout the plant.
  • Reduce waste and drive measurable improvements in productivity, cost, uptime, and process stability.
  • Use data-driven techniques (SPC, DOE, root-cause analysis) to resolve issues and prevent recurrence.

Capital Projects and Technology Advancement
  • Identify, scope, and manage capital equipment and facility upgrade projects.
  • Lead evaluation and introduction of new technologies including automation and robotics.
  • Manage budgets, timelines, vendor relationships, and ROI analysis for engineering investments.

Quality, Compliance, and Safety
  • Ensure compliance with safety, regulatory, and environmental standards.
  • Support resolution of customer quality issues and technical inquiries.
  • Ensure engineering documentation and process controls meet ISO/AS standards.

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with Operations to support daily production and troubleshooting needs.
  • Support Sales with customer technical presentations and feasibility analysis.
  • Work with Supply Chain and Maintenance on tooling and equipment reliability.

What You Will Bring
Education and Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Industrial, Metallurgical, or related). Master's preferred.
  • 10+ years engineering experience in heavy industrial manufacturing; foundry experience strongly preferred.
  • 5+ years of progressive leadership experience managing technical teams.

Technical Skills
  • Strong understanding of casting processes (sand, investment, permanent mold, etc.).
  • Experience with solidification modeling software (MAGMA, ProCAST, FLOW-3D).
  • Knowledge of metallurgy, heat treatment, and material properties.
  • Proficiency with CAD tools.
  • Familiarity with Lean, Six Sigma, and CI methodologies.

Leadership and Soft Skills
