Role & responsibilities

Design, develop, and validate injection moulds, Blow moulds, Roto moulds for bio-composite product line
- Create detailed 3D CAD models and 2D drawings using SolidWorks, CATIA, or equivalent software
- Conduct mould flow analysis to optimise gate location, cooling channels, and wall thickness for crop-fibre composite materials
- Collaborate with product designers and manufacturing engineers to translate product requirements into tooling specifications
- Oversee mould fabrication at vendor facilities and manage trial runs, validations, and first-article inspections
- Identify and resolve tooling defects including warpage, sink marks, short shots, and flash specific to bio-composite behaviour
- Maintain and continuously improve existing mould tooling to extend life and reduce cycle time
- Document mould specifications, maintenance schedules, and change logs in line with ISO quality standards
- Evaluate and onboard tooling vendors; manage cost, quality, and delivery of outsourced mould components
- Stay current on composite mould materials,



surface treatment technologies, and sustainable tooling practice

Preferred candidate profile

B.E. / B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from a recognised university
- 5 to 6 years of hands-on experience in mould design and development
- Strong proficiency in CAD tools SolidWorks, CATIA, Pro/E, or equivalent
- Working knowledge of mould flow simulation software (Moldflow, Moldex3D, or similar)
- Solid understanding of GD&T;, tolerance stack-up, and mould manufacturing processes (EDM, CNC, wire-cut)
- Experience with compression or transfer moulding is a solid advantage given our biocomposite material mix
- Familiarity with natural fibre or filled polymer composites will be preferred
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, BOM structures, and process FMEAs
