Experienced in the ability to partner and coordinate supplier qualification activities (PPAP, IQ, OQ, PQ, DOE, etc.) to meet requirements of the application
Understand limits / fits, tolerance stack up analysis. Highly experienced in Geometric Dimensional Tolerancing (GDT) and application for inspection setup and tolerancing allowances of molded components
Proficient in generating qualification requirements and reports for injection molded components
Use and understanding of Statistical Tools (DoE, Gage R&R, SPC)
Provide mentoring, training, and design guidance in the development and deployment of injection molding tooling and for successful cable designs
Collaborate cross functionally with team members (i.e., R&D, Regulatory, Suppliers/Contract Manufacturers, Marketing, Biocompatibility, and Operations)
Designs, develops, and implements injection mold machinery and equipment, tools, dies, gauges, jigs, fixtures, prototype model production and machine attachments required for production or experimental use, considering such factors as accessibility, economy, mobility, and performance requirements
Shall use CAD/CAM design tools and simulation software (Mold Flow analysis)
Collects and provides metrics, data for mold operations and SPC
