Responsibilities

Hadrian is looking for a Build Engineer, Castings to own large structural castings from the first design review through qualification, ramp, and handoff to standard production, whether we pour them, buy them, or run both paths in parallel. You are the bridge between the product and Capability Engineering: you interpret the product requirements, drive DFM, reverse engineer the product where the data is incomplete, establish the build flow and sequence, and hand Capability Engineering and the foundry a well-defined casting problem to solve.
Interpret and define product requirements from customer specifications, drawings, and contract requirements, and translate them into casting requirements, quality levels, and inspection needs.
Reverse engineer castings and cast assemblies from legacy drawings, incomplete technical data, or physical parts to establish design intent, critical zones, and a buildable sequence.
Review models and drawings for castability, including wall thickness, section changes, draft, parting lines, datum structure, machining stock, shrinkage and porosity risk, and NDT access, and drive changes before design freeze.
Hand a well-defined casting problem to Capability Engineering and the foundry's casting design and simulation team, and review gating, riser, and solidification results against the product requirements.
Define casting quality levels by zone and weld repair limits with Design and Quality.
Own the end-to-end casting route, from pattern through pour, heat treatment, cleaning, NDT, weld repair, and dimensional inspection, to the handoff to machining.
Place datums and machining stock so the first machining setup works the first time.
Define the high-level process for each operation (alloy and condition, quality levels, heat treatment, NDT method and acceptance criteria, and cycle time against rate) and hand it to Capability Engineering complete and on time.
Own design intent for patterns, core boxes, and inspection fixtures, each with a clear owner, location, and revision record.
Build and maintain BOM structures, work orders, and Opus work instructions in Hadrian's PLM, ERP, and MES systems, and own engineering change and configuration control as the design matures.
Bring Hadrian build plans and Opus work instructions into the foundry so casting work is planned and tracked the same way as the rest of the Hadrian network.
