Casting Process Engineer - Development Program

Casting Process Engineer RoleThe Casting/Manufacturing Engineering team's Casting Process Engineer role is a two-year casting development program. The Process Engineer position is a direct-hire role aligned to a designated home location within our casting manufacturing organization. As part of the onboarding and development strategy for this role, the successful candidate will participate in a structured two-year rotational experience consisting of four assignments across three manufacturing sites. The rotational assignments are intended to accelerate technical development, expand enterprise casting knowledge, and deepen understanding of GM manufacturing systems and operations. Following completion of the rotational experience, the employee will be placed in a full-time assignment at their original home location.Potential assignments may include:Quality EngineeringProject Launch Execution SupportProduction Process Engineering Support – Casting processesProduction Process Engineering Support – Machining ProcessesTooling DesignMelting/Metallurgy labThe Process Engineering Team excels in the development, testing, implementation and execution of new casting programs, platforms, and technology. This group is unique in that by working with and across multiple levels of the GM technical groups, vendors and suppliers, the complex problems of casting projects are developed into controlled manufacturing processes.The specific purpose of this position is to perform casting manufacturing projects by following a systematic engineering process of evaluation, development, validations, technology transfer leading into and supporting the production launch and processing. Specifically, the individual would be responsible and directly involved in the development of manufacturing processes, equipment, tooling and alternatives, sequences, operations, utilizations to produce castings.What You'll Do:Ability to work individually on specific programs yet collaboratively with the Process Engineering Team, Launch Team, Quality, Design, Tooling, Melting and Metallurgy, Product Engineering, and other support groupsSupport Launch Wall process via Manufacturing Validations, Build Plans, PPAP and related engineering proceduresSupport testing and installations of equipment, tooling and technologies both on and off siteLead, support and present the analysis of casting defectsAssist in process, tooling and equipment testing, troubleshooting and implementationsDevelop process documentation, Process flow diagrams, Control plans, PFMEA, standard work documents, and related technical documents as necessary for a program launchAnalyze first-time quality data and optimize processes using DOE, DFSS green belt, and related statistical toolsManage Process Controls plans, QS-Stat and Flexnet software, and quality systemsPerform both non-destructive and destructive testing procedures for casting investigation and analysis (CMM, leak testing, x ray, CT, thermal, lab specimen prep, chemistry, density, mechanical, etc.)On site work, working on shop floor, hands on equipment, understanding of casting shop activity.Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):Pursuit of a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Material Science, Industrial Engineering, Engineering Technology, or MetallurgyMust be graduating between May 2025 and December 2026Able to work full-time, 40 hours per week and overtime when requiredMust be willing to work in a plant environmentWhat Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):Experience in a plant environment or similarTraining in foundry processesTraining in process engineering procedures and disciplinesBasic knowledge of Magma, Flow 3D, simulation softwareBasic knowledge of NX, Catia or any 3D design softwareDegree courses with a metal casting focusGM does not provide immigration-related sponsorship for this role.
