RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Design and develop new injection moulds to produce plastic components that meet product specifications – Precision tolerance group.
  • Carry out Simulation studies and 3D data studies on part design and mould design to ensure part mouldability.
  • Participate in DFM discussions and DFMEA meetings as needed to ensure that the tools quoted are feasible and any potential issues identified early on and mitigated before tooling fabrication.
  • Propose special processing measures and tooling design measures to achieve precision tolerance group.
  • Collaborate/feedback with product design engineers, manufacturing, NPD and QA team to ensure manufacturability of new designs and enhance existing products.
  • Oversee the tooling process from concept through production, including resin and tooling material selection, prototype development, testing, and final production rollout. à Project Manage the tooling schedules/execution.
  • Lead and guide junior engineer to prepare technical documentation, including design specifications, DFM studies, mould flow studies, testing protocols, and process workflow.
  • Support Tooling, Moulding and NPD departments by trouble shooting during trials and also PPAP/PSW/FAI & 8D submissions.
  • Analyse and improve injection moulding processes with emphasis on mould longevity and consistent parts moulded using various methodologies such as Six Sigma, Design of Experiments (DOE) or Lean Manufacturing.
  • Conduct mould flow simulations and other DOE as needed to investigate defects and productivity issues that may be related to poor quality, defects, and increasing mould life.
  • Review appearance & dimensional report and analyse the NG (Not Good) root cause or participate in 8D caused by tooling/ process parameter
