Job description:

Shape the Future of Advanced Manufacturing: Ceramic Mould Engineer

At the AMRC, our Castings team is actively redefining the future of investment mould casting, and our passion is to turn cutting-edge research into industrial reality.

We are looking for an ambitious, boundary-pushing Ceramics Mould Engineer to join us. You will operate within a state-of-the-art facility that ranges from small-batch R&D to automated robotics. If you have the drive to deliver innovation, master process automation, lead pioneering research, and shape the future of casting, this is where your expertise belongs.

What You Need to Bring to the Team

To push the boundaries of excellence in this role, you must possess the following qualifications, skills, and experience:

  • Academic Foundation: A good honours degree in a relevant engineering or scientific subject, or equivalent high-level professional experience.
  • Casting Industry Expertise: Significant technical knowledge and practical experience of diverse casting processes, alongside deep expertise in the design, formulation, and control of ceramic moulding systems for investment casting.
  • Project & Resource Delivery: A proven track record of successfully delivering complex technical projects, with the ability to assess resources, coordinate workloads, and plan tasks effectively.
  • Regulatory Knowledge: A solid understanding of relevant manufacturing systems, health and safety legislation, and knowledge of strict sectorial quality management systems and standards, i.e. aerospace, energy, etc.
  • Leadership & Team Motivation: Strong interpersonal skills with experience motivating, managing, and communicating effectively with a technical team of staff.
  • Exceptional Communication: Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, including a proven background in writing detailed technical reports and delivering impactful presentations.
  • Client & Customer Focus: Excellent customer service skills, collaborating with customers and industrial partners both efficiently and professionally.
  • Advanced Problem Solving: The analytical capability to diagnose complex manufacturing issues and execute solutions while anticipating their longer-term industrial implications.

This isn’t a production job; it sets a direction for the future of global aerospace and high value sector manufacturing. The AMRC takes pride in providing an impact for industry; you will have the platform, the tools, and the autonomy to leave your mark on the sector.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
