What are the responsibilities and job description for the Process Engineer position at WISCONSIN ALUMINUM FOUNDRY MASTER?
PROCESS ENGINEER | WABASH CASTINGS
Wabash, Indiana | Wabash Castings LLC, a division of Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry
At Wabash Castings, our Process Engineer is more than a desk engineer. You’ll be the technical problem-solver connecting engineering, CAD, operations, quality, and the foundry floor to turn good designs into good castings.
If you’ve spent years looking at a casting and thinking, “I know why that happened and I know how to fix it,” this could be your next move.
WHAT YOU’LL OWN
You’ll play a key role in improving how we make castings by:
- Reviewing and approving gating and pattern designs
- Working with CAD on MAGMASOFT simulation results and process improvements
- Partnering directly with foundry foremen and supervisors on green sand and air-set jobs
- Investigating casting defects and troubleshooting quality and porosity issues
- Leading efforts to reduce scrap on high-loss jobs
- Participating in daily MRB reviews and driving corrective actions
- Supporting new-job sampling and launch activities
- Assisting with RFQs, quoting, and process development
- Developing and improving process sheets
- Participating in lean manufacturing and cost-reduction initiatives
- Serving as a hands-on technical resource throughout the plant
THIS ROLE IS FOR YOU IF...
You have real foundry experience and understand that the best engineering solutions don't always come from behind a computer.
You can:
- Read and understand process sheets
- Inspect castings and cores
- Investigate casting defects and identify root causes
- Understand gating, pattern design, and porosity
- Communicate technical information clearly with operators, supervisors, and engineers
- Walk onto the foundry floor and work through a problem with the team
- Turn a scrap problem into a process improvement
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Required:
- High school diploma
- 5 years of foundry experience
- Strong problem-solving and communication skills
- Ability to work effectively in a manufacturing environment
WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
Your work directly impacts casting quality, scrap, cost, customer satisfaction, and production performance. You won't simply maintain a process. You'll help make the process better.
