Mold Designer

Responsibilities

• Perform Design for Manufacturing (DFM) reviews and mold design in accordance with customer drawings, specifications, and project requirements.
• Prepare and submit DFM reports within the agreed project timelines.
• Develop complete mold designs, including detailed engineering drawings, mold assembly drawings, and Bill of Materials (BOM).
• Ensure all assigned design tasks are completed accurately and on schedule in accordance with project milestones.
• Participate actively in mold design reviews to ensure design feasibility, quality, and manufacturability.
• Collaborate with project engineers, toolmakers, and other cross-functional teams to continuously improve mold design, enhance tool manufacturability, and optimize the injection molding process.
• Support mold trials together with project engineers to evaluate mold performance, identify design-related issues, and recommend improvements to achieve the required part quality and molding results.
• Review and incorporate design changes and engineering feedback to improve mold functionality, reliability, and production efficiency.

Requirements

• Certificate or relevant qualification in Mold Design, Toolmaking, Precision Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Minimum 2 years of experience in plastic injection mold design.
• Proficient in Siemens NX for 3D mold design, 2D drafting, and detailed engineering drawings.
• Knowledge and experience in Moldflow analysis, including the interpretation of simulation results to support mold design optimization.
• Good understanding of mold construction, tooling components, machining processes, and injection molding principles.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to identify design issues and propose practical engineering solutions.
• Good communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to coordinate effectively with project engineers, toolmakers, and other relevant departments.
• Able to manage multiple design assignments independently and meet project deadlines.
