Job Description Summary

Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

• Design and develop tooling:Design and validate tools jigs fixtures gauges and dies to support new and existing products. Create detailed 3D models and 2D drawings using CAD tools.
• Support manufacturing operations:Analyze production processes and identify tooling improvements to enhance safety quality delivery and cost. Troubleshoot tooling-related issues on the shop floor and implement corrective actions.
• Support new product introduction (NPI):Collaborate with design engineering on DFM/DFA and tooling requirements for new products. Plan and implement tooling for new programs including trials validation and handover to production.
• Drive continuous improvement:Lead or support improvement activities that reduce cycle time improve ergonomics and minimize defects. Optimize existing tools for ease of use robustness and maintainability.
• Manage documentation and standards:Generate and maintain tooling drawings BOMs specifications and standard work. Ensure documentation is controlled accurate and compliant with internal and applicable regulatory requirements.
• Coordinate suppliers and cost:Work with internal and external tool makers for fabrication repair and modification. Support tooling cost estimates and make-buy decisions.
• Ensure safety and compliance:Ensure tooling meets safety ergonomic and regulatory requirements. Conduct or support risk assessments and safety reviews for new and modified tooling.

Qualifications

Required:

• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering Manufacturing Engineering Industrial Engineering or a related field (or equivalent experience)
