This position involves working in a close team environment performing a combination of development and support for Howmet's casting facilities. This position's main roles and responsibilities involve:

• Constructing and solving large 3-D finite element models of supplied electronic data for prediction and reduction of as-cast defects in our single crystal, directionally solidified and equiaxed product lines.
• Development and improvement of the procedures, boundary conditions, material databases and application of process modeling for investment casting foundry applications.
• Expansion of application of general heat transfer and fluid dynamics modeling applications within Howmet Engines.
• Advance technical capability of Howmet's castings through simulated design

Additional job roles may include aspects of the following depending on the candidate's background:

• Systems thinker--sees the business and its operation holistically; understands actions and reactions; considers multiple pathways of potential effect to improve yields; thinks strategically about implementation
• Optimizer--constantly challenging the organization to work smarter and drive process improvements through results of process models
• Anticipation--looks ahead to minimize potential issues and maximize advantages; works with others to prepare for the next Howmet technical advantage
• Operational accelerator-driven to continually improve processes; advocates for safety, ergonomics and scalable solutions
• Organization and structure-- provides accurate information; works within existing structures while striving to improve them
• Influence--leverages knowledge, relationships, data and perspective to persuade, educate and navigate; gains buy in and adoption of ideas and practices at scale; interacts with a variety of stakeholders
• Data informed--focused on things that drive quantifiable business outcomes; evaluates based on quantitative feedback; ability to explain the "why" behind process simulations
• Prioritized reaction--handles the unexpected without losing sight of important objectives; reacts where greatest leverage points exist
• Relationship--connects with individuals and teams across BU plants; builds rapport and commonality; creates a "win together" environment
