Tool Design Engineer - Injection Molding

INJECTION MOLD TOOLING DESIGNER

This is a hands-on tooling design role for someone who understands injection molds beyond simply designing plastic parts. You will help develop and standardize mold platforms that can be reused across a large portfolio of high-volume molded products, improving tooling efficiency, flexibility, and speed to launch.

The company designs and builds its tooling in-house, giving this person direct access to mold makers, machinists, programmers, and engineering throughout the entire process.

Relocation assistance is available.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design injection mold bases and tooling platforms for high-volume production


• Develop standardized and reusable tooling concepts including mold bases, inserts, and interchangeable cavity systems


• Create complete mold layouts including gating, cooling, venting, ejection, cores, and cavities


• Develop 3D models, assemblies, and detailed tooling drawings in SolidWorks


• Work directly with the internal toolroom throughout mold design, machining, assembly, and validation


• Design around hot runner systems and high-volume molding requirements


• Apply DFM, tolerance analysis, and root cause problem solving to improve tooling performance


• Support tooling standardization and reuse to reduce lead times and capital investment

REQUIREMENTS

• 5+ years of injection mold design, mold making, or advanced tooling experience


• Strong understanding of injection mold construction, mold bases, cores, cavities, shutoffs, cooling, venting, and ejection


• Advanced SolidWorks experience required


• Ability to design tooling with manufacturability, mold performance, and long-term serviceability in mind


• Strong understanding of injection molding processes and high-volume production


• Experience with hot runner systems preferred


• Experience with modular, standardized, or reusable tooling concepts is a plus, but not required


• Mastercam experience is a plus


• Degree preferred, but equivalent mold design or mold making experience will be considered
