Job Description:
*About the job*
*Position Name:* Tooling Engineer
*Location:* Troy, Michigan
*Responsibilities:*
* Design initial molding tool concepts, perform tool DFM analysis,
provide DFM guidance to product design engineers and collaborate
with tool shops during tool design/construction/validation
* Provide quick turn around on part and tooling cost estimates for
injection molded plastic and metal stamped parts for formal quotes
to be submitted to our OEM customer.
* Analyze the cost of BOM, raw materials, process and tooling
according to engineer data and HBPO internal cost estimating
tools.
* Lead tooling meetings and design reviews with tooling suppliers.
Track and maintain a record of all the tools being developed with
the key milestones and track the progress and report the progress
to Director Engineering
* Responsible for the validation of Injection Tool concepts. Review
and finalize the tool concept and subsequently the tool designs
from tooling suppliers. Review and approve Mold Flow, Warp
Analysis, etc
* Deliver tooling breaks downs for parts production and tooling at
a level that can be submitted on customer break down forms.
* Master HBPO tooling cost estimation tools and align these models
with regional updates to accurately predict regional estimates for
different regions in North America (Canada, Mexico, USA). Work with
Head Quarter (Germany) Leads to align and adopt cost calculation
models.
* Establish and model various cost scenarios with different
cavitation and volumes to propose the most optimal tooling-part
cost estimations to the project team.
* Work closely with Program Manager and Director of Engineering to
develop the tooling timeline and align it with major program
milestones. Provide regular updates and flag any delays and work
with the supplier to mitigate timing risks
* Guide the design engineering team early in the design phase to
