We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented Tool and Die Design Engineer to join our engineering team and support our tooling operations. In this role, you will be responsible for the end-to-end design, detailing, and continuous improvement of automotive progressive dies, transfer dies, and integrated automation systems. The ideal candidate brings strong analytical skills, extensive knowledge of metal stamping processes, and the ability to execute precise engineering changes to support manufacturing efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

Die Design & Detailing

- Full Concept Design: Create complete 3D models and 2D manufacturing drawings for complex progressive and transfer dies.
- Strip Layouts: Develop optimized strip layouts, blank developments, and forming sequences to maximize material utilization.
- Component Detailing: Produce precise component details, die sections, and assembly drawings with appropriate geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T;).
- Kinematic Simulation: Conduct clearance, interference, and press-stroke simulations to ensure flawless die operation.

Automation & Press Integration

- Automation Systems: Design transfer fingers, bolster extensions, scrap chutes, and sensor layouts for automated part transfer and error-proofing.
- Vendor Collaboration: Partner with automation vendors to integrate servo-drive systems, material feeds, and robotic components into the tool design.

Engineering Changes & Optimization

- Engineering Change Notices (ECN): Execute, document, and track engineering modifications (ECNs) based on product revisions,



tool room feedback, or production requirements.
- Troubleshooting: Support the toolroom and production floor during die tryout, debugging, and initial production runs.
- Continuous Improvement: Redesign existing tooling to improve part quality, reduce cycle times, and extend die life.

Required Qualifications & Skills
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in mechanical/manufacturing engineering, or an equivalent technical diploma with a completed Tool and Die apprenticeship.
- Experience: Minimum of 3–5 years of proven experience designing progressive and transfer dies in a high-volume manufacturing environment (automotive preferred).
- CAD Proficiency: Advanced proficiency in 3D CAD software (such as SolidWorks, UG NX, AutoForm, or VISI).
- Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of sheet metal metallurgy, springback compensation, draw developments, and tonnage calculations.

Standards: Strong grasp of GD&T; (ASME Y14.5), manufacturing tolerances, and toolroom machining capabilities (CNC, EDM, grinding). Pay: $35.00-$45.00 per hour

Expected hours: 40.0 per week
