Metallurgical Engineer

We are seeking a Technical Engineer to play a crucial role in providing turnkey manufacturing solutions to industrial clients that work with metal and plastic components.

The ideal candidate should have hands-on experience in metal part manufacturing and casting processes. This role involves working on-site with both customers and suppliers to identify and solve problems effectively.

This role appears to be a hybrid position, combining engineering responsibilities with technical and customer-facing tasks. While it could be considered an engineering role), it’s not purely engineering in the traditional sense of designing, building, or managing systems.

Position Highlights:

• Collaborate directly with customers to ensure metal components are designed for optimal manufacturability.
• Assess and recommend the best manufacturing processes or metallurgical options from prototyping to production.
• Identify and troubleshoot part quality issues, working with foundry and machining facilities to achieve desired results.
• Perform audits of off-site foundries and other suppliers.
• Support account managers by providing technical expertise to enhance their sales efforts.

Skills and Qualifications:

• Proficiency in engineering solutions to drive profitability.
• Knowledge of ferrous and non-ferrous casting processes.
• Experience in defect analysis of castings.
• Expertise in nondestructive examinations of metal parts (e.g., Visual, Magnetic Particle, Liquid Penetrant, Radiography, Pressure, and Ultrasonic testing).
• Excellent communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ability to perform effectively under high pressure and stressful situations.
• A strong drive to succeed.
• Effective organizational skills.
• A minimum of a bachelor’s degree in Metallurgy or Engineering.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office.
