Manufacturing Engineer – Subject Matter Expert (Castings & Forgings) | UAE/ KSA

Immensa; Dubai; On-site; AED 180,000 - 240,000; Full time

Job summary

Immensa is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to be the technical lead for cast and forged components, translating design intent into manufacturable plans and ensuring on-time delivery across multiple sites.

You will read 3D models and 2D drawings, determine manufacturing routes and materials, and own projects end-to-end from kick-off to supplier delivery and final inspection.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Metallurgical Engineering.
• 5–6 years' experience in castings and forgings.
• Deep expertise in foundry and forging processes, physical metallurgy, heat treatment, and NDT methods.
• Strong GD&T reading ability across 3D models and 2D drawings.
• Familiarity with API, ASTM, and equivalent material/application standards.
• Comfortable working across multiple locations and time zones.

Responsibilities

• Interpret 3D CAD models and 2D drawings — GD& T, datums, tolerances, material and NDT callouts — for cast and forged parts
• Select and justify the right manufacturing route (sand, investment, and die casting; open- and closed-die forging; cast + HIP) and material of construction for service conditions
• Manage project schedules and OTIF targets for assigned casting/forging orders, driving supplier execution and closing out technical queries
• Review foundry/forge process plans, rigging/gating, and heat-treatment routes
• Lead design and process reviews, owning risk identification across technical, quality, cost, and delivery
• Review inspection data (dimensional/CMM, radiography, MPI/DPI, material certificates) and disposition non-conformances
• Support Quality on Inspection & Test Plans and supplier compliance to API/ASTM standards
• Support estimation and tendering with realistic costing and lead times for cast/forged scopes
• Coordinate reverse-engineering and spare-parts projects, justifying design/material adaptations for manufacturability

Job description

Immensa is transforming how the world's largest energy companies address critical spare part challenges. Our solutions help asset-intensive organizations decrease over-stocking, reduce downtime, manage obsolescence, and strengthen supply chain resilience through advanced digital inventory and distributed manufacturing technologies.

We partner with some of the world's largest Oil & Gas and industrial companies, supporting mission-critical operations where reliability, quality, and trust are essential.

The Role

We're looking for a Manufacturing Engineer who's the go-to technical expert for cast and forged components — someone who can read a 3D model or 2D drawing and immediately see the right manufacturing route, material selection, and risk points. You'll own these projects end-to-end: from kick-off through supplier delivery and final inspection, ensuring On-Time-In-Full delivery every time.

This is the primary technical and commercial bridge between Immensa and our casting and forging supply base — translating design intent into a manufacturable, quality-assured production plan.

What You'll Do

• Interpret 3D CAD models and 2D drawings — GD&T, datums, tolerances, material and NDT callouts — for cast and forged parts
• Select and justify the right manufacturing route (sand, investment, and die casting; open- and closed-die forging; cast + HIP) and material of construction for service conditions
• Manage project schedules and OTIF targets for assigned casting/forging orders, driving supplier execution and closing out technical queries
• Review foundry/forge process plans, rigging/gating, and heat-treatment routes
• Lead design and process reviews, owning risk identification across technical, quality, cost, and delivery
• Review inspection data (dimensional/CMM, radiography, MPI/DPI, material certificates) and disposition non-conformances
• Support Quality on Inspection & Test Plans and supplier compliance to API/ASTM standards
• Support estimation and tendering with realistic costing and lead times for cast/forged scopes
• Coordinate reverse-engineering and spare-parts projects, justifying design/material adaptations for manufacturability

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Metallurgical Engineering
• 5–6 years' experience in castings and forgings
• Deep expertise in foundry and forging processes, physical metallurgy, heat treatment, and associated NDT methods
• Strong GD&T reading ability across 3D models and 2D drawings
• Familiarity with API, ASTM, and equivalent material/application standards
• Comfortable working across multiple locations and time zones

Nice to Have

• Direct foundry experience
• Experience in reverse engineering and spare-parts production
