Methoding Engineer

We are seeking a skilled and experienced Methoding can independently handle casting development from concept to production. The candidate must have a deep understanding of pattern design, moulding processes, and methoding.

Key Responsibilities & Roles:

Methoding & Design:

• Develop and design complete casting methoding for iron and steel castings.

• Optimize methods to minimize & eliminate all defects like shrinkage, porosity, and misruns.

• Perform accurate casting weight calculations for cost estimation and pattern development.

Pattern Development:

• Coordinate with pattern makers to develop or modify patterns as per methoding.

• Inspect patterns and core boxes for dimensional accuracy and compatibility with moulding line.

• Guide pattern storage, identification, and standardization processes.

Moulding & Production Support:

• Work closely with the moulding department to ensure method implementation on the shop floor.

• Select suitable moulding processes based on casting requirements.

• Provide on-site support during pouring and resolve process-related issues.

Quality & Process Improvement:

• Investigate casting defects and work on corrective actions.

• Conduct root cause analysis of non-conformities and implement process improvements.

• Maintain method cards, documentation, and casting quality records.

CAD:

• Prepare and analyze 2D/3D models using AutoCAD, CREO, and SolidWorks.

• Generate accurate layout drawings for pattern and core box manufacturing.

Simulation (Plus Point):

• Work with casting simulation software (e.g., MAGMA, ProCAST) to validate methoding and optimize yield.

Cross-functional Coordination:

• Collaborate with quality, design, and production teams for smooth execution of casting projects.

• Attend customer technical discussions for development projects and provide methoding insights.

• Maintain up-to-date documentation for patterns, methods, and simulations.
