Essential Duties :
- Design injection and extrusion blow molds for manufacturing plastic parts, ensuring they meet customer specifications and requirements.
- Use CAD software (e.g., Siemens NX, SolidWorks) to create detailed mold designs and 3D models.
- Specify appropriate mold materials and determine the necessary mold features (e.g., gate location, cooling systems, venting, and parting lines) to reduce cycle times and improve part quality.
- Design tooling for complex features, such as undercuts, inserts, slides, and ejection systems.
- Ensure that the tooling is robust and meets the established criteria and specifications.
- Evaluate and recommend improvements to existing mold designs to increase efficiency, reduce wear, or lower production costs.
- Work closely with product engineers, toolmakers, and production teams to refine designs and ensure compatibility with injection and extrusion blow molding processes.
- Coordinate with suppliers to source materials and components for mold production.
- Troubleshoot mold issues and recommend corrective actions to improve production quality.
