Responsibilities

Provide technical support on magnesium-alloy sand casting to customer foundries within the Aerospace and Advanced Castings department for North American customers.
Process, melt, cast, and analyze molten magnesium alloys.

Position Responsibilities: Provide technical support on magnesium-alloy sand casting to customer foundries within the Aerospace and Advanced Castings department for North American customers. Duties include processing, melting, casting and analyzing molten magnesium alloys. Software's used are MAGMASoft simulation software that allows one to generate a virtual representation of the sand castings in how molten metal flows and solidifies, as well as ANSYS Discovery which is a CAD modification tool that allows one to modify the design of the given casting's metal flow assembly within the sand mold.

Position Requirements: Bachelor’s degree (or foreign equivalent) in Materials Engineering, or a related field, PLUS three (3) years of experience in the job offered or a related position. Experience must include demonstrable knowledge of: gating & feeder design for gravity cast & differential pressure sand cast Mg-Zr alloys; solidification characteristics of ZE41A & Elektron 21 magnesium alloys; foundry technology & methoding for Mg-Zr alloys to enhance mechanical properties & increase casting yield; MAGMASoft simulations w Mg-Zr alloy datasets to model casting filling, solidification, & gating system; ANSYS Discovery Pro, and; feeding effectiveness calculations for Mg-Zr alloys w varying chemical compositions.
