Foundry Process Engineer

WISCONSIN ALUMINUM FOUNDRY CO INC • Manitowoc, WI

3d • Onsite

About The Position

At Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry, you'll be where the real engineering happens – on the production floor, at the process, solving problems that don't have easy answers. You will develop casting processes for new products, troubleshoot existing jobs, dig into scrap and customer complaints, work alongside production leaders and operators, and use tools like MAGMASOFT, DOE, metallurgy principles, and process analysis to make a good process better. You will actually see the result of your work. Your process becomes the casting. As a Foundry Process Engineer, you'll help develop robust, repeatable, error-proof casting processes from new job startup through production. This isn't an engineering role where you hand off your work and move on. You own the problem until it's solved.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related field
• Experience in an aluminum foundry, casting, or manufacturing environment
• Understand metallurgy, gating systems, casting design, and process development
• Comfortable troubleshooting problems using data, technical analysis, and sound judgment
• Ability to make decisions when the answer isn't sitting in a textbook
• Communicate well with both engineers and people on the production floor
• Work well across Engineering, Operations, Quality, and leadership
• Know that the best solutions often come from getting close to the process

Nice To Haves

• Experience with MAGMASOFT
• Experience with SolidWorks

Responsibilities

• Develop new casting processes and bring new projects from concept into production
• Solve problems at the source by investigating scrap, defects, and customer complaints
• Work directly with production supervisors and managers during new job launches and troublesome jobs
• Use MAGMASOFT simulation to troubleshoot and improve casting performance
• Apply Design of Experiments (DOE) and structured problem-solving methods
• Evaluate metallurgy, gating systems, casting design, and process parameters
• Partner with Engineering to review simulations and identify opportunities to improve the process
• Design, program, and troubleshoot pressure testing, qualification, and machining fixtures
• Spend meaningful time on the production floor working with the people who run the process
