Senior Foundry Engineer

We are working with a fast-growing advanced manufacturing company building domestic investment casting capability for high-performance superalloy components used in aerospace and energy applications.

This is a key hire to help establish and scale a modern foundry operation from early-stage through production.

The Senior Foundry Engineer will lead development and optimisation of investment casting processes for nickel-based superalloys and other high-temperature alloys. You will work closely with metallurgical, production, and engineering teams to build robust, repeatable manufacturing capability.

• Develop and optimise investment casting processes for superalloy components
• Own process parameters including melting, shell building, pour, and post-cast operations
• Troubleshoot casting defects and drive root cause analysis
• Support scale-up from prototype to production volumes
• Work closely with quality and materials teams to ensure compliance and consistency
• Contribute to equipment selection, facility setup, and process design
• Drive continuous improvement across yield, cost, and performance

• Strong background in investment casting or precision casting environments
• Experience working with nickel-based superalloys (e.g. Inconel, Hastelloy or similar)
• Knowledge of high-temperature alloys and defect mechanisms
• Hands‑on foundry or manufacturing engineering experience
• Familiarity with aerospace, turbine, or high‑performance industrial components preferred
• Ability to work in a fast‑paced, build‑from‑scratch environment

This is a rare opportunity to help build a next‑generation foundry capability in the US, with significant technical ownership and long‑term impact on domestic supply chain resilience.
