Sr. Equipment Design Engineer, Foundry

What to Expect

A Foundry Equipment Designer in the Casting Manufacturing team will be a vital role developing new foundry equipment, applying lessons learned from existing builds to design and develop new technologies that can enable the next generation of foundry equipment. Additionally, the Candidate will be part of a team responsible for defining key direction of furnaces used in future High Pressure Die Casting machine, Casting Shop layout designs, and equipment coordination with the Factory Design team and other groups. This will require strong first principles thinking, cost justification, solid understanding of equipment and process functioning.

What You’ll Do

• Develop furnace and supporting equipment concepts, balancing ROI with risk
• Define equipment & processes for furnace charging, melting, metal transfer, systems
• Assess vendor submittals against program requirements, with a focus on serviceability, reliability, and process capability
• Develop initial manufacturing strategies for new projects by performing detailed feasibility, project timing and cost estimate studies
• Participate in engineering activities with the product design team ensuring that flexible, cost effective, robust, and reusable processes and equipment are implemented
• Provide technical support for the assessment of different manufacturing scenarios
• Identify, investigate, test and validate new innovative technology and work methods for future implementation (e.g. virtual manufacturing environment, product feasibility simulation, throughput simulation).
• Iterate engineering design to meet functional requirements and lead vendors through mechanical, electrical and software design reviews.
• Interface with facilities / MEP team to forecast utilities requirements, provide utility submittals & follow-up for timely utility connections during launch

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or Chemical Engineering or equivalent
• Manufacturing Engineering experience across all phases of a product program (from concept planning through to execution)
• Proven project management experience of $1M+ capex projects with cost benefit analysis development
• Experience designing, commissioning, ramping-up melting, metal transfer equipment is required
• Understanding of machine guarding principles, regulatory requirements such as LOTO, hazardous materials / process handling among other typically found in high volume manufacturing environments
• Proficient in 3D CAD tools and Simulation tools (CATIA, Solidworks or similar would be considered an advantage)
• Understanding of NADCA requirements as they apply to Aluminum furnaces and casting systems will be beneficial
