Experience Required:
- Degree (BE/B.Tech): 35 years
- Diploma: Minimum 5 years
(Must have completed at least one end-to-end casting development project)
Role Summary:
The Engineer – R&D; (Casting Hydraulics – Spool Valves) will support the design, development, validation, and industrialization of cast components used in hydraulic systems—specifically spool valve housings, control valve bodies, manifolds, and other hydraulic casting parts. This role requires solid casting engineering knowledge along with hands-on project execution capability.
Key Responsibilities
Product & Process Development
- Evaluate product designs for casting feasibility (drafts, radii, wall thickness, parting line, riser/gating feasibility).
- Provide castability inputs to design teams during early stage development.
- Prepare feasibility reports and manufacturing guidelines.
Casting Project Execution
- Manage the complete casting development cycle: Design Tooling Sample trials Validation Production handover.
- Collaborate with tooling teams or vendors for tooling/pattern design.
- Monitor sample development trials and ensure compliance with requirements.
Hydraulic Spool Valve Component Knowledge
- Experience with spool valve housings, valve bodies, hydraulic manifolds, control valve components, etc.
- Translate hydraulic performance and leakage requirements into casting design considerations.
Material, Metallurgy & Quality
- Select casting materials suitable for hydraulic components (SG Iron grades, CI grades, aluminum, etc.).
- Work with metallurgy/quality teams for composition checks, microstructure evaluation, and defect analysis.
- Support RCA for casting defects and drive corrective actions.
Testing & Validation
- Support prototype builds and validation as per hydraulic spool valve performance standards.
- Evaluate test results and recommend design or process improvements.
Supplier & Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work with foundries for tooling approva
