Mechanical Design Engineer

About the Role

The Mechanical Design Engineer will design, develop, and optimize metal forming tooling and processes to support high-quality, cost-effective manufacturing. This role focuses on cold heading, deep impact extrusion, and related metal shaping methods, integrating mechanical engineering principles with process innovation to enhance product manufacturability and performance. The position requires expertise in 3D modeling, precision tolerancing, and hands-on tooling design to drive products from concept through production.

Responsibilities :

• Design and develop tooling for cold forming processes based on product specifications and technical drawings.
• Optimize metal shaping methods including cold heading and deep impact extrusion for efficiency, consistency, and cost-effectiveness.
• Create and maintain engineering documentation, including detailed design drawings, bills of materials, and technical specifications.
• Utilize AutoCAD and SolidWorks for 3D modeling, assembly design, and drawing creation.
• Collaborate with manufacturing teams to prototype, test, and validate tooling solutions.
• Apply GD&T principles and ensure compliance with quality control standards through precise tolerancing and material selection.
• Convert 2D blueprints into functional tooling designs aligned with production requirements.
• Support manufacturing operations including thread rolling, pressing, machining, and plating.
• Develop multi-die bills of materials for complex progressive tooling designs.
• Participate in APQP activities to ensure product and process quality.
• Interface with MRP / ERP systems for planning, scheduling, and resource coordination.
