Sr. Tooling Engineer

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Senior Tooling Engineer is a crucial position for optimizing the tooling development from tooling design to production sustaining with JDMs (Joint Development Manufacturer), ODMs (Original Design Manufacturer) and CMs (Contract Manufacturers) with consideration in both throughput and quality, while also advice on optimizing part & assembly design for manufacturing (DFM) with internal design and engineering team. An ideal candidate should have hands-on experiences with hydroforming tooling, metallic tooling and process design and/or tool trial trouble shooting on site. Experienced with injection toolings, overmolding techniques, rubber forming, progressive dies, stage dies, transfer dies, tool steel selection, deep draw, high speed stamping, forging, surface coating, surface finish processing and heat treating are important traits of an ideal candidate as well.

To ensure the quality delivery of the program, the Senior Tooling Engineer is responsible for several key tasks. These include drafting supplier-facing tooling requirements and maintenance plans, which will be based on both product demand and design specifications. The engineer will also gather tooling information to populate company asset databases. Furthermore, the role involves active participation in tool trial activities and conducting supplier capability studies to guarantee tool quality. To support the company's long-term growth, the Tooling Engineer will be responsible for developing a knowledge library for advanced materials and fabrication, contributing tooling input for product design requirements, and building simulation models for tooling and part cost analysis.

The Senior Tooling Engineer will not only provide day-to-day technical support for internal teams and JDMs/ODMs/CMs, including engineering changes implementation on tooling, part availability tracking and schedule discussion and cost reduction but also continuous improvement in both quality and time, hands-on implementation of the improvements in the production lines for ensuring manufacturing activities.
