Casting Engineer

@ Stuller

Description

• We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Casting Engineer to support defect analysis and root cause investigations across both investment (lost wax) and continuous casting operations.
• This role is essential to maintaining high-quality standards in precision metal casting, ensuring consistent performance across a variety of alloys, geometries, and production methods.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead root cause analysis (RCA) for casting defects such as porosity, incomplete fills, surface roughness, segregation, and inclusions.  
• Collaborate with design, tooling, and production teams to identify process-related issues and implement corrective actions.
• Analyze wax pattern quality, mold integrity, burnout cycles, investment slurry composition, and casting parameters.
• Monitor and optimize continuous casting variables such as cooling rates, mold oscillation, and metal flow.
• Develop and maintain defect tracking systems and RCA documentation for continuous improvement.
• Recommend process adjustments and tooling modifications to improve yield, surface quality, and metallurgical integrity.
• Support metallurgical evaluations and testing of alloys used in both investment and continuous casting.
• Train production staff on defect recognition, prevention techniques, and best practices across casting methods.
• Participate in new product development to ensure castability and manufacturability of complex designs.

Qualifications:

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgy, or related field.
• 2+ years of experience in casting operations (investment and/or continuous).
• Strong understanding of casting processes, alloy behavior, and defect mechanisms.
• Experience with RCA tools (e.g., 5 Whys, Fishbone diagrams) and quality systems.
• Familiarity with CAD/CAM workflows and design for manufacturability.

 

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with vacuum, centrifugal, and continuous casting systems.
• Knowledge of alloy solidification, refining techniques, and thermal management.
• Lean manufacturing or Six Sigma certification.
• Hands-on experience with mold making, wax injection, burnout optimization, and continuous casting setup.
• Understanding of finishing processes and downstream quality control.
