Successful candidates will have a proven record of working with cross‑functional teams in the development and implementation of complex castings.\n\nThe Casting Manufacturing Engineer will be required to apply their knowledge to various casting alloys and processes, including but not limited to gravity, low‑pressure, and high‑pressure die casting. Knowledge of various core‑making processes and materials will be useful. In this role, the casting engineer will have direct impact over the design and processing of castings in future products. Ideal candidates must navigate and drive change in a complex internal environment, challenging the status quo as we define an all‑new way of manufacturing vehicles.\n\nResponsibilities\n\nDrive the casting process and provide a framework to enable the cross‑functional teams to create Program / Component specific plans, for the development and implementation of manufacturing‑feasible casting designs and processes resulting in parts that can be machined by standard and best practice methods in support of new program product launches.\n\nThese roles include and are limited to the following:\n\nProvide technical support to Product Development (PD) Component Program Module Teams (CPMT's) and coordinate casting design between Product Engineering, PTME - Machining and external casting suppliers to assure ‘design for manufacturing feasibility’ of new Powertrain castings.\n\nSupport new model program cost studies and projects.\n\nSupport the Digital Preassembly 5 (DPA5) process through the development of component Manufacturing Design Specifications (MDS) and Manufacturing Process Specifications (MPS).
