Beschreibung

• Operate as the entrepreneurial owner of the castings line of business across die, investment, and sand casting — accountable for vision, strategy, growth, and results. • Proactively synthesize market trends, customer needs, competitive intelligence, and internal inputs to inform strategy, identify opportunities and risks, and drive decisive action. • Define and evolve product line strategy, pricing, and go-to-market positioning across die, investment, and sand casting to deliver profitable top-line growth, strong margin performance, and enhanced customer value. • Shape Fictiv’s castings capability roadmap — defining which processes, alloys, tolerance classes, part sizes, certifications, and secondary operations to support; identifying capability gaps in the manufacturing partner network; and setting qualification and onboarding standards — in partnership with Solution Engineering, Program Management, and regional General Managers. • Influence and align cross-functional partners across sales, marketing, solution engineering, program management, and customer success to execute on strategy and deliver results. • Serve as Fictiv’s internal subject matter expert on castings — covering Design for Casting (DFC), alloy and process selection, tooling considerations, gating and solidification principles, defect modes, tolerance realities, and secondary operations — enabling quoting accuracy, sales engagement, customer-facing technical discussions, and informed review of manufacturing partner inputs and capabilities. • Establish and track key metrics for growth, margin, quote-to-order conversion, on-time delivery, first-article approval, and customer satisfaction; communicate progress and insights effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. • Foster accountability by driving continuous improvement, challenging assumptions, and ensuring alignment with business objectives.

🎯 Anforderungen

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Materials, Metallurgical, or Manufacturing), Operations Management, or related field; Master’s degree preferred. • 10+ years of hands-on experience in metal castings — spanning die casting, investment casting, and/or sand casting, with direct foundry, engineering, or process ownership — and 5+ years in a leadership role responsible for growth, operations, or business development. • Deep expertise in casting processes and technologies, including high-pressure die casting (HPDC), low-pressure die casting, investment (lost wax) casting, and sand casting; • Strong command of alloy selection (aluminum, zinc, magnesium, stainless and carbon steels, ferrous alloys), gating and solidification, tooling and die/pattern design and life, defect mechanisms and controls (porosity, shrinkage, cold shuts, inclusions, misruns), and secondary operations (heat treatment, machining, NDT, surface finishing). • Familiarity with ISO 9001, IATF 16949, AS9100, NADCA, ASTM, and environmental standards. • Demonstrated ability to drive business growth, commercial strategy, and customer satisfaction in a multi-process, tooling-intensive environment; • Comfort operating through a distributed manufacturing partner network is essential. • Strong commercial acumen and entrepreneurial mindset, with experience shaping strategy and influencing outcomes across cross-functional teams. • Excellent leadership, communication, and collaboration skills, with the ability to align and inspire diverse stakeholders. • Skilled in problem-solving and continuous improvement, with knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma, or similar methodologies a plus. • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities, execute effectively, and adapt in a fast-moving environment. • Willingness to travel as needed to support customers, foundry partners, and global operational initiatives.
