Permanent Mold Process Engineer: Precision Castings

Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry Master; Manitowoc (WI); Presencial; USD 90.000 - 120.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry in Manitowoc, WI is seeking a Permanent Mold Process Engineer. You will develop robust, repeatable permanent mold processes from new job launch through full production, including tilt-pour and low-pressure methods.

You’ll work with MAGMASOFT for simulation, coordinate with toolroom, operators, QA and engineering, and travel to solve mold-related issues on the floor. A mechanical engineering degree and permanent mold experience are preferred.

Formación

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or related field.
• Experience in permanent mold or die casting (aluminum preferred).
• Understand how mold temperature, coatings and gating drive solidification and casting quality.
• Knowledge of aluminum casting alloys and heat treatment basics.
• Troubleshoot with data, technical analysis and sound judgment.

Responsabilidades

• Launch new permanent mold jobs from tooling design review through PPAP and steady production.
• Set and balance mold thermal management from die temperatures, water and air cooling, thermocouple placement, cycle time.
• Design and refine gating, risering and fill for gravity, tilt-pour and low-pressure molds.
• Use MAGMASOFT to predict fill and solidification before steel is cut, then prove it on the floor.
• Own die coating practice, mold preheat, and core integration for semi-permanent mold jobs.
• Attack porosity, shrink, cold shuts and misruns at the root using DOE and structured problem solving.
• Partner with our in-house toolroom on new molds, modifications and mold life.
• Work side by side with operators, supervisors, Quality and Engineering on troublesome jobs.
• Spend real time at the machine, that's where permanent mold problems get solved.
