A Snapshot of Your Day

As a Specialist Professional (P4), this role will provide subject matter expertise focused on the critical commodity of investment casting, ensuring supplier quality meets Siemens Energy standards. To meet this objective, the role is structured around three core areas: Supplier Qualification & Development, Product & Process Assurance, and Performance Management & Continuous Improvement. This framework ensures a comprehensive approach, from onboarding and validating new investment casting suppliers (directionally solidified, single crystal and equiaxed) to managing the quality of new components and driving ongoing performance enhancements. Given the focus on these areas, the ideal candidate will be a recognized expert in casting processes, metallurgy, ceramic shell building and wax pattern production.
