📋 Description

• 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 • Provide training and technical support to mold technicians and operators during ramp‑up and SOP transitions • Ensure mold and part designs align with Mil/Aero standards (MIL‑DTL, AS9100) and ITT Cannon design guidelines • Conduct root cause analysis and implement corrective actions for tooling or part defects • 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

• Health insurance • 401(k) • Short and long-term disability • Paid time off • Growth and developmental opportunities • Other incentive compensation programs
