Casting Process Engineer

• Lead the development, validation, and continuous optimization of casting processes for new product introductions and existing products, ensuring production readiness and process capability.
• Evaluate and select suitable materials, moulds, tooling, and casting methods based on product specifications, design requirements, quality targets, and cost considerations.
• Establish, monitor, and control critical process parameters throughout melting, metal treatment, pouring, mould filling, cooling, and solidification to ensure stable and repeatable production.
• Analyse casting defects and process deviations using structured problem-solving methods; implement corrective and preventive actions and verify their effectiveness.
• Drive improvements in yield, scrap reduction, cycle time, and equipment utilization through process optimization, data analysis, and waste elimination.
• Ensure casting products and processes meet customer requirements, engineering specifications, applicable standards, and internal quality controls.
• Prepare, review, and maintain process documentation, including process flow charts, work instructions, control plans, parameter records, validation reports, and improvement reports.
• Work closely with Maintenance and Engineering teams to improve equipment reliability, resolve process-related issues, and support the commissioning or modification of casting equipment and tooling.
• Identify process-related safety and environmental risks, implement appropriate controls, and ensure compliance with company policies and applicable requirements.
• Lead or contribute to cross-functional continuous improvement initiatives, sharing technical knowledge and supporting the development of operators and production personnel.
