Job Description:

Hadrian is seeking a Process Engineer, Casting to join our Scoping & Special Projects team. This role is ideal for an engineer with deep casting expertise and a systems mindset. You will lead the technical decomposition of complex customer requirements into scalable factory cell designs, with a focus on sand and investment casting.

Job Responsibility:

  • Analyze Bills of Materials (BOMs), CAD models, and technical drawings to classify casting parts by process complexity, alloy type, size, and risk
  • Develop first-principles cycle-time models using simulation data, standard routings, and historical performance metrics
  • Define and document end-to-end casting process flows, including melt preparation, mold/core fabrication, pouring, and post-processing
  • Translate technical scoping outputs into capital and operational requirements for factory implementation (equipment, staffing, takt planning)
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with quality and inspection teams to define inspection strategies, CTQ checkpoints, and measurement system analysis plans

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience in process engineering within sand or investment casting environments, including melt and mold/core operations
  • Proficiency with casting simulation tools (e.g., MAGMASOFT, ProCAST) and experience validating simulation outcomes against real-world results
  • Strong understanding of quality systems, including authorship of PFMEAs and control plans
  • experience executing AS9102-compliant First Article Inspections (FAIs)
  • Familiarity with sand testing methods (e.g., GFN, permeability, moisture, compactability) and binder ratio control protocols

Nice to have:

  • Experience designing greenfield manufacturing cells or establishing lab infrastructure for heat treatment or sand testing
  • Knowledge of aerospace and defense casting standards (e.g., NADCAP, ASTM specifications, traceability requirements)
  • Familiarity with casting automation technologies and non-destructive testing (e.g., PT, RT, UT) methods
  • Exposure to regulated manufacturing or reporting frameworks (e.g., PPAP, EVMS, IPMDAR)
What we offer:
  • Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
  • 401k
  • Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need
