📋 Description

• The NPI Mold Design Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and implementing new injection molds, tooling, and manufacturing processes that support the launch of new Mil/Aero interconnect products at ITT Cannon. • Design high‑precision injection molds (single- and multi‑cavity) for thermoplastic, thermoset, and elastomer components used in Mil/Aero connector products. • Create detailed 3D models, 2D drawings, BOMs, and specification packages using CAD software (SolidWorks, Creo, NX preferred). • Conduct DFM/DFA analysis to ensure mold designs support manufacturability, dimensional accuracy, and long‑term tooling reliability. • Perform mold flow analysis using Moldflow, Sigmasoft, or equivalent software to assess gate location, fill patterns, warp, cooling, venting, and material behavior. • Collaborate with internal tooling shops and external toolmakers to refine designs and ensure tooling feasibility. • Participate in gate reviews, project planning, and cross‑functional NPI engineering meetings. • Translate product design intent into robust tooling concepts and manufacturing solutions. • Define material selections, molding parameters, and processing requirements for new connector components. • Support prototyping, sample builds, and EVT/DVT/PVT phases. • Drive part qualification activities including FAI, PPAP, capability studies, and mold validation protocols. • Partner with Manufacturing Engineering and Production teams to troubleshoot tooling, part quality, and molding issues. • Optimize cycle times, cooling performance, and mold longevity through design improvements. • Maintain accurate documentation, design records, and revision histories in accordance with quality system requirements.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Tooling Engineering, or related field. • 7+ years of experience in injection mold design, preferably in precision components or connector industry. • Strong proficiency with 3D CAD tools (SolidWorks, Creo, or NX). • Experience with mold flow simulation tools. • Solid understanding of mold design principles: gating, venting, cooling, shrinkage, tolerancing, and material flow. • Hands-on experience with high-temperature engineering resins (PEEK, PPS, LCP), thermosets, or elastomers. • Familiarity with GD&T, ASME Y14.5, and precision tooling tolerances. • Experience in NPI processes, product validation, and manufacturing readiness. • Travel periodically, up to 20%.

🏖️ Benefits
