Senior Casting Engineering Leader

Job Description Summary

We’re looking for a progressive, people-centered technical leader to lead our Casting Technology Sub-Section—a group that owns casting technical excellence and delivery reliability across our aerospace business. Prevent delivery issues before they occur by influencing design, establishing strong standards, and partnering deeply with suppliers for producibility. Lead decisively when challenges arise, using technical judgment, collaboration, and clear prioritization to protect our customers.

If you’re energized by developing people, solving hard technical problems, and owning outcomes— this role offers real scope and impact. You’ll lead a team that shapes decisions early, where the biggest delivery risks and opportunities live. You’ll own the technical systems that enable predictable delivery, not just react when it’s threatened. You’ll influence design, suppliers, and standards across a global aerospace value chain.

You’ll help build a culture rooted in respect, transparency, learning, and accountability.

• Lead and Develop a High-Impact Technical Team
• Build an environment of trust where strong technical debate is encouraged.
• Coach and develop engineers, turning challenges—technical and delivery-related—into learning and growth.
• Set clear priorities so the team focuses on the work that matters most at any given time.
• Protect and Improve Delivery Performance
• Partner with suppliers and internal teams to anticipate delivery risks and address root causes early.
• Lead structured problem-solving when issues emerge, ensuring fast containment, clear ownership, and sustainable fixes.
• Balance proactive improvement work with decisive action during delivery challenges, maintaining customer trust.
• Provide clear, timely communication on risks, trade-offs, and recovery plans.
• Own Casting Technical Excellence
• Serve as the authority and escalation point for casting technologies, supplier processes, and standards.
• Guide design-for-casting producibility to reduce risk, cost, and cycle time before parts reach production.
• Approve new parts, materials, and supplier processes with an eye toward long‑term capability and stability.
• Drive Continuous Improvement with a Customer Lens
• Foster a culture of humility, learning, and continuous improvement, where problems are surfaced early.
• Measure success through customer impact, system health, and delivery reliability.
• Enable the team with strong standards, processes, training, and best‑known methods that scale performance.

• Bachelor’s Degree accredited college or university in manufacturing engineering, materials, process engineering, or supplier engineering (or a high school diploma / GED with a minimum of 4 years in experience)
• Minimum of 5 years of aerospace hardware design, manufacturing engineering, materials, process engineering, or supplier engineering experience

• An engineer by background with strong technical judgment (casting experience is a plus, not required).
• Experienced in aerospace hardware design, manufacturing engineering, materials, process engineering, or supplier engineering.
• Known for leading with respect, listening first, and developing others through meaningful feedback.
• Comfortable owning outcomes in complex, ambiguous environments where delivery matters.
• Motivated to learn continuously, improve systems, and raise standards.
• You’ve led teams, projects, or technical initiatives—and are ready to expand your impact.

• The salary range for this position is $136,000 – $181,000 . The specific salary offered to a candidate may be influenced by a variety of factors including the candidate’s experience, their education, and the work location. In addition, this position is eligible for a performance bonus/variable incentive plan.
