JOB PURPOSE: Design and Development of high quality Moulds, casting dies and sheet metal tools to ensure components of the NPD (Current Product Development) project are produced as per designs and specifications with form fit and function, utilizing best industry practices and help convert them to defect free and cost-effective productionable tools while ensuring improved first-time right tool designs and meeting timeline targets.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Mold and Die design
• Assist in Making RFQ document with tech specifications, Tool Target Cost Estimation and DFM of Parts and tools
• Assist tool engineer to define machine and mold size basis part designs under consideration
• Participate in tool design review and provide insights for smooth operations, reliability, improved consistency in quality of tools and in turn end components.
Mold and Die Development
• Assist tool design team in reviewing the tool development plan, identify critical milestones, critical path and follow through the same with tool maker for ensuring timely development of the tools
• Critically evaluate the tool design readiness during various stages and specific parts responsible for CTQ dimensions of the end parts and update the same to internal teams and tool room
• Attend trials and report out trial observations
• Assist in follow-up with tool makers for closure of changes and corrections
• Attending tool commissioning trials at supply partner ecosystem.
• On field Inspection & dispatch inspection of the tools, provide necessary inputs to mold maker for ensuring right care is taken before mold dispatches
Participate in NPD processes
1. Review part designs with respect to manufacturability considering tool working feasibilities
2. Provide technical inputs to mold flow analyst. Review of mold flow/Cast report and work with design engineers for closure of design actions.
3. Work with ED teams to define part and tool changes in alignment with manufacturability of tools
4. Create documentation of
