Technical Expert Low Pressure Casting
Pubblicato il 31-08-2026 - Optimal Personal & Organisation in Lombardia
We are seeking a highly experienced, hands-on specialist in Low Pressure Die Casting (LPDC) to support a manufacturing operation in Mexico. The expert will work directly with production, engineering, quality, maintenance, and tooling teams to stabilize processes, resolve complex casting issues, improve performance, and build sustainable technical capability within the local organization.
The Assignment
The role combines deep technical expertise with practical execution on the shop floor. The successful candidate will assess the current LPDC operation, identify the main technical and organizational loss drivers, establish robust process windows, and lead structured improvement activities through to measurable results. This is not a desk-based advisory position. Daily presence in the production environment, direct problem solving, and close cooperation with the Mexican team are essential.
Role Mission
· Stabilize production. Improve process consistency, casting quality, output, and equipment availability across the LPDC value stream.
· Solve complex casting problems.
Identify root causes and implement durable countermeasures for recurring defects and performance losses.
· Create technical standards. Define reliable process windows, operating standards, control methods, and escalation routines.
· Develop the local organization. Coach engineers, supervisors, technicians, and operators so improvements remain effective after the assignment.
Key Responsibilities
Process Stabilization and Optimization
· Assess the current LPDC process, equipment condition, material flow, tooling performance, quality results, and technical organization.
· Develop and optimize robust process windows for melt preparation, metal temperature, die temperature, filling pressure, pressure curves, solidification, cooling, cycle time, and part removal.
· Reduce scrap, rework, leakage failures, cycle-time losses, unplanned downtime, and process variation through structured improvement plans.
· Supp
