What To Expect
The ManufacturingEngineer, Stamping Tooling, leads design, development and optimization ofprecision stamping dies and tooling for next-generation electric motormanufacturing. You will collaborate closely with cross-functionalteams—including design engineering, automation engineering, tooling suppliers,quality, process, and operations—to design, build and deploy progressivestamping dies with extreme precision requirements. The successful candidatewill have extensive theoretical and hands-on experiences in all facets ofhigh-volume electric motor stamping, driving tool lifecycles from concept toproduction including root-cause analysis and continuous process improvements.
What You'll Do
Tooling Design & Lifecycle: Spearhead the CAD design and development of custom, high-precision stator dies, focusing on material utilization, interlocking features, and high-speed stamping operationsDesign for Manufacturability (DFM): Collaborate with product design engineers and manufacturing teams to ensure stator geometries can be efficiently and cost-effectively stamped without compromising magnetic or mechanical performanceSimulation & Analysis: Utilize simulation software to conduct flow, thermal, and stress analysis to optimize die design, minimize tooling wear, and improve stamping qualityContinuous Improvement: Conduct root-cause analysis (RCA) on tooling failures, stamping defects, or production inefficiencies, implementing corrective actions to maximize uptime and die lifeMentorship: Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior tool and die engineers and production techniciansDocumentation: Prepare and maintain detailed design specifications, workflows, and preventive maintenance procedures for all die systemsSpare Parts: select and define required and appropriate spare parts & consumables
What You'll Bring
Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent experienceExperience: 5+ years of direct, hands-on experience in tool and die engineering, with a strong focus on progressive dies, lamination stamping, and electric motor stator productionSoftware Proficiency: 5+ years of experience with 3D/2D CAD platforms (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD) and die simulation software (e.g., AutoForm, PAM-STAMP)Technical Skills: Deep understanding of metallurgy, tool steel selection, coatings, and GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing)Problem-Solving: Proven track record of applying root cause problem-solving methodologies to resolve complex manufacturing issuesStrong communication and collaboration skills to work with cross-functional teams, including suppliers and operations staffAbility to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with occasional overtime or shift work to support 24/7 manufacturingTravel as required for die supplier visits, trials or buyoffs (>5%)
