This is a direct hire opportunity with a company that manufactures vibration control components - engine mounts, body mounts, and air spring systems - for major automotive OEMs worldwide. If you own vulcanization process development and want to do it at a global scale with real engineering infrastructure behind you, this is worth a conversation.\nWhat You Will Do\nYou will own the vulcanization process from molding trials through PPAP and serial production. Day to day you will define, document, and validate temperature, pressure, cure time, injection, transfer timing, mold venting, and flash-control parameters. You will lead process trials, Run@Rate studies, capability studies, and launch readiness reviews. You will create and maintain Process Flow, PFMEA, Control Plans, work instructions, and reaction plans. You will investigate curing, dimensional, durability, short-shot, flash, and material-flow concerns using structured problem solving. You will coordinate with Product Engineering, Quality, Tooling, Automation, Maintenance, Production, suppliers, and customer teams, and train operators and technicians on process controls and defect recognition.\nWhat You Bring\nBachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Manufacturing, Materials, Polymer, or Industrial Engineering\n\n5+ years of relevant manufacturing experience; automotive rubber molding or vulcanization strongly preferred\n\nWorking knowledge of APQP, PPAP, PFMEA, Control Plans, SPC, and structured problem solving\n\nExperience launching or industrializing new processes, molds, tooling, or production equipment\n\nAbility to analyze process data and convert findings into controlled technical standards\n\nData-driven decision making and disciplined technical ownership\n\nWhy This Move Makes Sense\nYou own the full vulcanization process from day one - not a support seat behind a senior engineer\n\nThe company is part of one of the world’s largest diversified industrial groups, which means real engineering resources, career paths, and stability that smaller rubber operations cannot offer\n\nMorganfield is accessible from Henderson, KY and Evansville, IN - and the compensation is competitive for what this level of process ownership actually requires\n\nIf your goal is to become a Principal Engineer or Engineering Manager at a global automotive supplier, this is the role that builds the portfolio to get you there","description_format":"text","description_chars":2599,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-23T21:16:48Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":89,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.893,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":20,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/the-mural-group-vulcanization-process-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/the-mural-group-vulcanization-process-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T06:01:16Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9164,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4418118},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4418118"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fthe-mural-group-vulcanization-process-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fthe-mural-group-vulcanization-process-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fthe-mural-group-vulcanization-process-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/the-mural-group-vulcanization-process-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fthe-mural-group-vulcanization-process-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3180177}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"themuralgroup.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3180177},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
