Position Summary

Responsible for the end-to-end design, development, and validation of high-precision jigs and fixtures specifically for gadget manufacturing. This role bridges the gap between customer concepts and shop-floor execution, ensuring that all tooling meets stringent precision, repeatability, and "First Article" success standards.

Core Responsibilities

Technical Analysis & Customer Liaison
3D Model Study: Perform a detailed audit of customer-provided 3D models / 2D drawings to identify assembly constraints and critical dimensions.
Gap Analysis: Detect DFM/DFA gaps and communicate directly with the customer to resolve technical ambiguities.
Acceptance Criteria: Define the specific performance and quality benchmarks for each fixture.
Design & Component Selection
BOP Management: Select and specify Bought-Out Parts (BOP), including identifying equivalent makes to optimize cost and lead times.
Mechanical: Precision bearings, linear rails, and slide ways.
Pneumatics: Cylinders, DCV valves, and manifold systems.
Automation: PLCs, HMI units, and sensors (Proximity, Optical,



Magnetic).
Electrical: Switches, push buttons, and wiring harnesses.
Documentation & Standards
Assembly Guides: Create visual, step-by-step assembly instructions for the toolroom.
Check Sheets: Develop comprehensive inspection check sheets to verify fixture build quality.
Execution & Validation
Troubleshooting: Lead the technical debugging of fixtures during the assembly and testing phases.
FAI Support: Actively support the assembly team during First Article Inspection (FAI) to ensure the fixture delivers parts that meet 100% of customer specifications.
Technical Skills & Qualifications

CAD Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in 3D modeling software (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, or NX).
Pneumatic/Electrical Logic: Ability to design actuation sequences and sensor integration for automated fixtures.
Analytical Thinking: Robust root-cause analysis skills for troubleshooting mechanical misalignments
