Full Job Description
Are you seeking a new career as a Process Engineer with a focus on parts? Could you act as the technical bridge between customer quality specifications and our manufacturing floor?

At Doncasters we have an exciting opportunity for a Process Engineer to join our team in Oxford, AL.

The working hours/salary for this role are Monday through Friday 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM.

What we can offer you:
• An interesting and varied field to work in
• An environment where you can learn and grow through constant development opportunities
• PTO
• Competitive 401K
• Competitive medical insurance

The Role

The Process Engineer (Part Owner) serves as the primary technical authority and manufacturing lifecycle manager for a portfolio of aerospace investment cast parts. Unlike process-specific engineers, the Part Owner has a comprehensive, part-specific focus, acting as the technical bridge between customer quality specifications and our manufacturing floor. This role is responsible for interpreting metallurgical and process specifications, managing the qualification (PPAP/FAI) process, maintaining part-specific documentation, and driving stable production yields. The Part Owner collaborates directly with the various manufacturing process owners (Ceramic Core, Shell, Foundry, etc.), quality engineers, and other production support specialists to engineer the optimal manufacturing path, ensuring the final component conforms entirely to customer quality and metallurgical expectations. This role is located on-site at our Oxford, Alabama, aerospace investment casting facility. (Note: Dimensional and geometric compliance is owned separately by the Product Engineer).

Interested?

  • Minimum 3 years of engineering experience in an aerospace manufacturing environment, with a strong preference for investment casting, metallurgy, or component qualification.
  • Fundamental comprehension of metallurgy, microstructure, defect identification and origination, and multi-physics interactions involved in the metal casting process.
  • Understanding of aerospace quality systems and qualification frameworks.
  • Strong proficiency in interpreting customer driven specifications such as material and microstructural requirements, non-destructive testing (NDT) criteria, and heat-treatment standards.
