Engineer - Mold Design.

Job Description: Engineer – Mold Design

Role Summary

The Mold Design Engineer is responsible for creating precise and robust 2D and 3D designs for high-quality plastic injection molds. The focus is on optimizing mold functionality, minimizing manufacturing cycle times, and ensuring tool longevity.

Key Responsibilities

• 3D & 2D Mold Design: Design complete plastic injection molds, including core/cavity splits, sliders, lifters, cooling layouts, and runner/ejection systems.

• Moldflow Analysis: Perform mold flow simulations to predict and eliminate defects like air traps, weld lines, and optimal gate positioning.

• BOM & Documentation: Generate accurate Bill of Materials (BOM), detailed manufacturing drawings, and layout documentation.

• Design Optimization: Modify and update existing designs based on Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and trial feedback.

• Standardization: Maintain and utilize standardized design elements to enhance engineering efficiency.

Key Requirements

• Education: Diploma or B.E. / B.Tech in Tool & Die Making or Mechanical Engineering (CIPET / NTTF / GTTC preferred).

• Experience: 3–6 years of hands-on experience in plastic injection mold design.

• Skills: Proficiency in CAD software (NX Unigraphics, Creo, or SolidWorks) and Moldflow simulation tools; clear understanding of plastic shrinkage and behavior.
