Mould Designer

Major Duties & Responsibilities:

Preparation and Presentation:

• Prepare and present Design for Manufacturability (DFM) reports, mould designs, Mould Flow Analysis, and provide expertise in mould tweaking to optimize production processes.
• Strong knowledge of DFM principles, ensuring designs are optimized for manufacturability, cost-efficiency, and product quality.
• Experience with Mould Flow Analysis software (e.g., Moldflow) to simulate and evaluate potential manufacturing challenges.
• Expertise in mould tweaking, improving designs during production trials to enhance performance and efficiency.

Tool Design:

• Create comprehensive tool design assembly layouts for various moulds.
• Prepare and issue detailed 2D drawings of inserts and mould bases, including appropriate tolerances for manufacturing.
• Ensure tool designs are manufacturable and can estimate cycle times based on the design specifications.
• Develop tool designs that support efficient production with minimal cycle time.
• Ensure tool designs can run in automatic cycles, improving production efficiency.

Customer Liaison:

• Liaise with customers for DFM and tool design discussions, ensuring their requirements are met and providing technical support.
• Assist in managing customer-driven engineering changes, ensuring smooth adaptation of designs.

Continuous Improvement & Review:

• Continuously improve tool concepts to enhance functionality, cost-efficiency, and product quality.
• Conduct tool design reviews to present design concepts and receive feedback.
• Endorse and release tooling drawings to the tool room for mould manufacturing, ensuring accurate and timely delivery.
• Raise purchase requisitions for tooling-related direct and indirect purchases as needed.

Additional Support:

• Provide CAM programming support when required.
• Perform any other duties and responsibilities as assigned by superiors.
