Foundry Engineer

Foundry Engineer, up to $130,000, hands on shop floor role, MAGMASOFT experience valued

We have been pouring precision aluminum and magnesium castings out of Texas since 1971. The team supplies close tolerance components to Boeing, Lockheed and other leading names in aerospace, alongside automotive, commercial and defense customers, backed by AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certification and a shelf of American Foundry Society and U.S. Navy recognition.

This is a chance to put your name on parts that actually fly, from commercial turbine engines to defense and space hardware, inside a foundry that has been doing it since 1971 and still wins industry casting awards for it. You'll work close to the floor and close to the process, with real ownership over how these castings get made.
