Production Engineering : Sr Tooling Designer

As a Senior Production Engineering Tooling Designer, you will create advanced mechanical, electrical, and mechatronic tooling for high-tech manufacturing. Your work will help production teams build complex technology safely, accurately, and efficiently. You will guide tooling from requirements and early concepts through qualification, release, and ongoing production support.

You will lead tooling design projects of varying complexity from concept through production. You will collaborate with production engineers, technical support teams, technicians, project leaders, and other partners to meet safety, quality, cost, and schedule requirements.

• Define functional requirements and technical specifications with engineering teams, technicians, and internal customers.
• Develop business cases, design proposals, risk assessments, and environmental, health, and safety reviews.
• Design complex manufacturing tools, fixtures, and jigs that meet safety, ergonomic, and regulatory requirements.
• Create detailed three-dimensional models and two-dimensional drawings using computer-aided design software.
• Lead design reviews and apply tolerance, motion, material, structural, thermal, and performance analysis.
• Release qualified designs with complete documentation for procurement, production, duplication, and lifecycle support.
• Resolve advanced tooling issues, implement corrective actions, improve processes, and support investment planning.

To succeed as a Senior Production Engineering Tooling Designer, you will need:

• A bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical, electrical, mechatronics, manufacturing engineering, or a related field.
• At least five years of experience in manufacturing tooling design, production engineering, process development, or manufacturing.
• At least three years of experience leading projects and improvement initiatives.
• Proficiency with three-dimensional design software, such as Solid Works, CATIA, Siemens NX, or AutoCAD.
• Experience with geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, manufacturing processes, and finite element analysis.
• Experience with enterprise resource planning, product lifecycle management, and engineering change processes.
• Experience working in semiconductor, high-tech, complex assembly, or cleanroom environments is preferred.
• Certification in geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, project management, Lean, or Six Sigma is preferred.

Working at the cutting edge of tech, you'll always have new challenges and new problems to solve - and working together is the only way to do that. You won't work in a silo. Instead, you'll be part of a creative, dynamic work environment where you'll collaborate with supportive colleagues. There is always space for creative and unique points of view.

You'll have the flexibility and trust to choose how best to tackle tasks and solve problems. To thrive in this job, you'll need the following skills:

• Translate manufacturing needs into clear, practical tooling requirements.
• Communicate technical decisions clearly to engineering, production, and leadership partners.
• Analyze complex problems and use evidence to identify sustainable solutions.
• Collaborate effectively across disciplines, roles, and levels of technical experience.
• Balance safety, quality, cost, schedule, and production needs when making decisions.
• Mentor junior engineers and share tooling design and problem‑solving practices.
• Lead continuous improvement with a proactive, organized, and accountable approach.

In this Senior Production Engineering Tooling Designer role, you will combine hands‑on technical expertise with project leadership. You will help strengthen tooling reliability while supporting safe, efficient, and scalable…
