Descripción de la vacante

Hadrian is building autonomous factories in Kutztown, PA, seeking a Build Engineer, Castings to own large structural castings from design review through qualification and handoff to production. You’ll bridge product and Capability Engineering, driving DFM, setting casting processes, and coordinating with Design, Supply Chain, and foundries to ensure scalable results.

You will lead end-to-end casting development, defining patterns, BOMs, inspection plans, and process controls, while coordinating

Formación

5+ years of experience in build, manufacturing, or casting engineering with direct ownership of large castings.
Bachelor’s degree in Metallurgical, Materials, Mechanical, or Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.
Experience interpreting and defining product requirements from customer specifications, drawings, and contract quality clauses, and translating them into build requirements.
Working knowledge of large steel castings (sand molding, heat treatment, weld repair) and casting defects, deep enough to drive DFM and set quality levels.
Experience reverse engineering castings or cast assemblies from incomplete technical data, legacy drawings, or physical parts.
Understanding of NDT methods for castings (RT, UT, MT, and PT) and how acceptance criteria flow from product requirements.
Experience structuring BOMs, work orders, and work instructions in PLM, ERP, or MES systems, including engineering change and configuration management.
Strong GD&T and 3D CAD skills.
Experience working on a foundry floor with melt, molding, heat treat, and inspection teams, and with outside foundries on first article approval.
Able to work on-site in Kutztown, PA, or be based in Los Angeles and travel to Kutztown up to 25% of the time.

Responsabilidades

Interpret and define product requirements from customer specifications, drawings, and contract requirements, and translate them into casting requirements, quality levels, and inspection needs.
Reverse engineer castings and cast assemblies from legacy drawings, incomplete technical data, or physical parts to establish design intent, critical zones, and a buildable sequence.
Review models and drawings for castability, including wall thickness, section changes, draft, parting lines, datum structure, machining stock, shrinkage and porosity risk, and NDT access, and drive changes before design freeze.
Hand a well-defined casting problem to Capability Engineering and the foundry’s casting design and simulation team, and review gating, riser, and solidification results against the product requirements.
Define casting quality levels by zone and weld repair limits with Design and Quality.
Own the end-to-end casting route, from pattern through pour, heat treatment, cleaning, NDT, weld repair, and dimensional inspection, to the handoff to machining.
Place datums and machining stock so the first machining setup works the first time.
Define the high-level process for each operation (alloy and condition, quality levels, heat treatment, NDT method and acceptance criteria, and cycle time against rate) and hand it to Capability Engineering complete and on time.
Own design intent for patterns, core boxes, and inspection fixtures, each with a clear owner, location, and revision record.
Build and maintain BOM structures, work orders, and Opus work instructions in Hadrian’s PLM, ERP, and MES systems, and own engineering change and configuration control as the design matures.
Bring Hadrian build plans and Opus work instructions into the foundry so casting work is planned and tracked the same way as the rest of the Hadrian network.
Work with Quality, NDT, and metallurgical lab teams to set inspection plans and acceptance criteria to customer and naval requirements.
Recommend which castings we pour and which we buy, write technical packages for buy castings, and assess outside foundries with Supply Chain and Quality.
Plan and execute subscale development articles and full-scale qualification castings, including dissimilar-metal development where the design calls for it, and own first article delivery.
Own disposition and root cause for new-casting non-conformances, and drive corrective action into the design or the process instead of the repair bay.
