: Mold Designer (Plastics)

Qualification Required

- CIPET-PDPMD / IGTR / NTTF / GTTC / Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
- Solid oral and written communication skills, with ability to collaborate effectively as a positive team member.

Technical Expertise

- Proficiency in plastic injection mold design, including hot runner systems, for industries such as automotive, medical, electrical switchgear, and pumps.
- High proficiency in 3D CAD design (Siemens NX preferred; Solid Edge, Creo also acceptable).
- Experience designing jigs & fixtures.
- Hands-on knowledge of Design Controls, verification & validation, and high-volume manufacturing processes.
- Thorough understanding of part geometry, moldability & capability studies, tolerance analysis, GD&T.;
- Strong grasp of plastic materials and their behavior in molding applications.
- Knowledge of DFM (Design for Manufacturability) principles.

Roles & Responsibilities

- Develop 3D models of plastic parts and injection molds using Siemens NX and related

CAD tools.

- Generate core and cavity designs, mold bases, ejector systems, cooling channels, gating,

and runner systems.

- Utilize automation tools (e.g., NX Mold Wizard) for efficient and accurate mold generation.
- Perform mold flow analysis, part validation, and simulation to ensure manufacturability and optimize design.
- Conduct mold optimization, debugging,



and design changes with fast turnaround while maintaining design integrity.
- Prepare technical documentation, 2D drawings, mold specifications, and checklists.
- Review and revise drawings for dimensional accuracy and tolerance stack-ups.
- Provide technical support to production regarding process issues, tooling improvements, and quality problems.
- Design secondary operation fixtures and support process development.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (manufacturing, analysis, production) to align mold designs with project requirements.
- Ensure timely delivery of high-quality mold designs while adapting to changes in scope,

priorities, or environment.

Required Skills

- Deep expertise in Siemens NX mold design, including parting line and core/cavity development.
- Experience with CAD/CAM integration for downstream processes like toolpath generation and machining.
- Strong knowledge of injection molding principles and industry best practices.
- Ability to identify and resolve design issues such as undercuts, ribs, wall thickness variations, and flow challenges.
- Strong organizational and planning skills with ability to manage multiple priorities.

Experience

2–4 years of experience in plastic injection mold design and related tooling
