Description Using knowledge of and experience with CAD software (such as SolidWorks or AutoCAD) to develop forging tooling and dies; applying Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles to optimize forging tooling and die designs for ease of manufacturing, minimizing production challenges, and reducing costs; utilizing forging processes, materials, metallurgy, and heat‑treatment techniques to identify and resolve tooling and die production issues; and managing the entire lifecycle of forging tooling projects from concept to implementation, including developing project plans, setting timelines, and tracking progress to ensure timely delivery of high‑quality tooling solutions. Responsibilities include: leading a team of engineers and technicians in the design and development of forging tools, dies, and equipment; providing technical guidance, mentorship, and support to ensure projects are completed on time and within budget; collaborating with cross‑functional teams including quality and production to develop and optimize forging tooling designs; ensuring designs are cost‑effective, efficient, and meet performance requirements; overseeing the entire lifecycle of tooling projects from concept to implementation; identifying opportunities for process improvements, cost reduction, and efficiency enhancements in forging tooling design and manufacturing; implementing best practices and innovative solutions to drive continuous improvement initiatives; applying DFM principles to optimize designs for ease of manufacturing, minimizing production challenges, and reducing costs; leading the development of prototypes and conducting testing and analysis to validate and refine designs according to customer, client, or company specifications; adapting existing product designs to meet new specifications and applications; utilizing CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD) to create and modify design drawings and 3D models; working closely with external vendors and suppliers to source materials, components, and services for tooling projects; managing vendor relationships, negotiating contracts, and ensuring adherence to specifications and delivery schedules; performing structural and thermal analysis using simulation tools to ensure components meet performance and safety requirements; providing expert technical support in resolving product issues or production difficulties; and creating and maintaining comprehensive design documentation, including drawings, specifications, and design change records.
Requirements Requires a Bachelors degree in Automotive, Manufacturing, or Mechanical Engineering plus two (2) years of experience evidencing demonstrable ability to perform the stated job duties. New hires are subject to drug screening and background checks. Fifteen percent (15%) or less domestic and international travel to various unanticipated locations for meetings and training is required.
