None
What to Expect
Collaborate with Product Design, Simulation, and Process Engineering, to
establish High Pressure Die Casting tooling requirements, creating fully
detailed 3D CAD tooling design models for die fabrication by tooling
suppliers.
What You'll Do
Develop the CAD design of new die cast tooling from concept thru
production, including split lines, slides, ejection, vent and cooling
system (e.g. waterlines in tool steel as well as internal and external
plumbing)
Provide feedback to Product Design Engineers to achieve the right
balance between product performance and manufacturability from a tooling
perspective (e.g. draft angles, rib/boss geometry, etc.)
Incorporate input from Flow and Thermal Simulation Engineers into the
die design
Capture feedback from Casting Process Engineers into new and
replacement dies
Innovate new ideas to push the envelope of performance (cycle time,
yield, uptime) and minimize risk
Provide technical oversight of tooling suppliers
Assist in the development of tooling design and fabrication schedules,
then execute. accordingly
Manage parallel, rather than serial, product design, die design, and
die fabrication timelines
What You'll Bring
Mechanical Engineering degree
Mechanical design experience. Experience with aluminum High Vacuum High
Pressure thin wall structural die casting tool design highly preferred,
but other relevant tooling or mechanical design experience can be
considered
Strong to expert level 3D CAD skills, including advanced surfacing and
large assemblies
CATIA V5+ fluency preferred. If no CATIA experience, must be able to
learn and adopt it quickly as it will be the design package used
