As a Mechanical Tooling Design Engineer, you will be responsible for translating engineering requirements into detailed tooling designs, layouts, and manufacturing drawings. You will work closely with project, manufacturing, quality, and customer-facing teams to ensure that tooling designs meet functional, safety, quality, and production requirements.

The role involves participating in design reviews, supporting engineering changes and tool validation, and ensuring that all design deliverables are completed within project timelines. Proficiency in CAD software such as CATIA V5, UG NX, or SolidWorks will be an advantage.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop welding fixtures, jigs, assembly tools, and fabrication tooling based on project specifications and technical requirements.
• Prepare engineering concepts, tooling layouts, detailed manufacturing drawings, and supporting technical documentation.
• Apply mechanical design principles, geometric tolerancing, material selection, and manufacturability considerations throughout the design process.
• Ensure tooling designs meet functional, safety, accessibility, reliability, and ease-of-manufacturing requirements.
• Coordinate with project, manufacturing, quality, and customer-facing teams to clarify requirements and resolve design-related issues.
• Participate in design reviews, engineering modifications, tool trials, validation, and implementation activities.
• Apply knowledge of welding practices, fabrication processes, assembly methods, and manufacturing requirements to develop effective design solutions.
• Maintain accurate design documentation and ensure timely delivery of assigned engineering tasks in line with quality standards.
• Use CAD tools to create, modify, and validate tooling designs and engineering drawings.

What Makes You a Great Fit?

• Bachelor's degree or diploma in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• 2-5 years of relevant experience in mechanical tooling design.
• Hands-on experience in at least one of the following areas:
• BIW welding fixtures.
• Welding jigs and fixtures for bus and rail transportation.
• Welding and assembly tools for aerospace applications.
• Welding jigs and tooling for heavy-duty fabrication.
• Good understanding of mechanical engineering drawings, welding processes, fabrication techniques, and assembly methods.
• Proficiency in CAD software such as CATIA V5, UG NX, or SolidWorks.
• Ability to interpret engineering specifications and translate them into practical, accurate, and manufacturable tooling designs.
• Knowledge of tolerancing, material selection, design standards, and manufacturing feasibility.
• Strong problem-solving, analytical, communication, and coordination skills.
• Attention to detail, effective documentation practices, and the ability to meet project deadlines while maintaining design quality.
