Fixture Designer
Summary
We are currently recruiting a skilled and meticulous Fixture Designer possessing 2 to 6 years of specialized experience in CNC manufacturing work-holding solutions. This position entails overseeing the complete lifecycle of high-precision clamping systems and fixtures designed for 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC machining environments. The core mission involves guaranteeing structural stability, ensuring exceptional part consistency, optimizing cutting tool clearance, and preventing collisions within complex multi-axis configurations. The successful candidate will lead the fixture development process from initial budgeting and cross-functional design reviews through to final blueprint issuance, process sheet support, and material procurement tracking.
Responsibilities
• Custom Fixture Engineering: Develop specialized manual, hydraulic, and pneumatic fixtures for 3-axis, 4-axis (including HMC tombstones and rotary setups), and 5-axis simultaneous machining operations to meet rigorous production targets.
• Team-oriented Design Reviews:
Lead and participate in comprehensive design review sessions to present structural strategies, coordinate with production teams, incorporate feedback, and obtain necessary technical sign-offs prior to tooling fabrication.
• Technical Documentation: Generate and finalize fixture models and detailed 2D engineering drawings, applying Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance (GD&T;) standards per ASME Y14.5 and conducting tolerance stack-up analyses to ensure repeatable alignment within micron-level specifications.
• Process Engineering Support: Partner with production and process engineering departments to draft, evaluate, and refine manufacturing process sheets, ensuring tooling capabilities align seamlessly with operational workflows.
• Financial Oversight: Estimate, track, and control the engineering and material budgets for fixture projects, ensuring all hardware, fabrication costs, and custom components rema
