Tooling Design Engineer

Design Engineer – Tooling 

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Designer with a focus on Production Tooling Design to join our team. The ideal candidate will have experience in design and development of custom tooling used to precisely hold and position workpieces during manufacturing processes,
Transforms engineering specifications to finished CAD Designs for manufacturing tooling/fixtures (e.g. detailed assembly drawings and part drawings). 

Key Responsibilities:

• Create new designs utilizing parametric solid modeling software or applications to develop basic data, assemblies and detailed parts of devices, mechanisms, and structures, assess viability of engineering specifications/concepts including advising engineers on suggested revisions on designs
• Design complex fixtures, incorporating ease of manufacturing, safety, performance, and reliability; and selecting equipment and materials, contractual specification requirements and cost; including recommending alternates and solutions needed to achieve the intended design objective.

• Identify design errors, omissions, and other deficiencies, and recommend revisions and/or improvements in design layout to responsible engineers or designers throughout the validation process including redline reviews
• Process Engineering Change Requests (ECR) including describing changes and providing corresponding technical justification; checking completed layouts and drawings for clarity, completeness, conformity to standards, procedures, specifications; and accuracy of calculations and dimensioning and notes necessary to present design proposals
• Consult with and provide input to Engineers on Edwards drawing standards and CAD tools, maintaining integrity of the CAD PDM (Product Data Management) modeling software
• Develop presentations and present proposal on designs across internal and external functions to secure consensus on the design viability and functionality
• Other incidental duties

Education and Experience:
5 years related experience – required
Associate’s degree or equivalent in in related field – preferred
