Requirements Education:
Technical, technological, or professional degree in Mechanical Design, Manufacturing, or related field. Engineering degree is not required if candidate has equivalent experience. Experience:
Minimum 5 years in tooling, fixtures, or device design for the automotive or metalworking industry. Proven experience with manufacturing processes: laser cutting, press brake/bending, stamping, cutting, piercing, MIG/projection/spot welding, mechanical assemblies, and painting (ecoat/powder coat). Software:
Proficiency in SolidWorks (3D modeling, assemblies, sheet metal, weldments, drawings). Technical Knowledge:
Design of devices and fixtures in sheet metal (non-machined). Advanced blueprint interpretation: symbols, GD&T; dimensional and geometric tolerances. Fundamentals of assembly and inspection fixture design. Principles of DFM (Design for Manufacturing). Knowledge of APQP and PPAP requirements for new product development. Languages : Technical English required; Spanish is desirable.
Responsibilities Design fixtures, devices, and tooling in SolidWorks ensuring manufacturability, ergonomics, and safety. Prepare complete technical drawings with correct specifications, symbols, and tolerances. Ensure designs are compatible with Ifab’s manufacturing processes (laser, press brake, welding, painting, etc.). Apply DFM principles in all design projects. Support APQP and PPAP activities related to new product development. Coordinate with manufacturing and quality to validate and adjust designs on the shop floor. Document designs following internal procedures and customer standards. Propose design improvements that optimize costs, quality, and production time.
Competencies Teamwork and collaboration with multidisciplinary areas. Technical problem-solving and analytical skills. High level of accuracy and attention to detail in drawings and models. Ability to manage projects with minimal supervision. Open to learning: willingness to learn new methodologies and tools. Effective oral and written communication with internal and external stakeholders
