With more than 120 operations and about 20,000 employees worldwide, Precision Castparts Corp. is the market leader in manufacturing large, complex structural investment castings, airfoil castings, forged components, aerostructures and highly engineered, critical fasteners for aerospace applications. In addition, we are the leading producer of airfoil castings for the industrial gas turbine market. We also manufacture extruded seamless pipe, fittings, forgings, and clad products for power generation and oil & gas applications; commercial and military airframe aerostructures; and metal alloys and other materials for the casting and forging industries. With such critical applications, we insist on quality and dependability – not just in the materials and products we make, but in the people we recruit.

Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, this over 10 billion dollar company employs more than 20,000 people worldwide.  PCC has over 120 plants and has a presence in twenty-six states in the US and in over a dozen countries. PCC is relentless in its dedication to being a high-quality, low-cost and on-time producer; delivering the highest value to its customers and shareholders while continually pursuing strategic, profitable growth.

Effective early February 2016, Berkshire Hathaway, led by chairman and CEO Warren E. Buffett, acquired Precision Castparts Corp.

PCC Structurals is the world leader in superalloy, aluminum and titanium investment casting.  With applications in jet aircraft engines, airframes, industrial gas turbine (IGT) engines, military armaments, medical prosthesis, and many other industrial markets, we provide a wide portfolio of high-quality components, some as large as 100 inches (250cm).

 

As the original business unit for Precision Castparts, you can count on PCC Structurals’ extensive experience and knowledge to consistently provide high-quality castings, even at significant volumes.

 

PCC Structurals also provides solidification modeling, in-house rapid prototyping (including SLA), digital radiography, hot isostatic pressing, precision machining and protective coating services. We operate 11 manufacturing facilities in the United States and Europe.

Composites Horizons (CHI) is a leading supplier of advanced aerospace composites. For over 40 years, we have specialized in difficult to manufacture, performance critical components and utilized the latest technologies to engineer lightweight aerospace composites, composite aircraft structures and assemblies that provide exceptional strength and high temperature performance. Situated in Covina, California, our Vision is to be a world-class provider of composite structures for complex applications.

The position carries considerable responsibility. Engineers are expected to be able to handle all aspects of a program, including customer contact with sales and program management, M&P problem solving, estimating, part fabrication (incl. development and transition to production), through shipment of the product. All activities are to be in accordance with CHI policies and Procedures and the CHI quality manual.

Engineers are responsible for the following:

  • Understanding all aspects of composites part manufacturing including prepreg handling, ply definition, lay-up, curing, machining and assembly, plus identification of safety considerations where appropriate.
  • Proficient in root cause and corrective action analysis and dispositioning of MRB tickets.
  • Familiarity with different tooling concepts, part design requirements and raw material suppliers.
  • Program cost control, i.e., coordination of change activity required to achieve desired GP.
  • Versed in production planning, MWI documentation  and quality/testing requirements.
  • Preparation, release and follow up of product manufacturing process documentation.
Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent engineering
