Injection Mold Design Engineer

As an Injection Mold Design Engineer specializing in CATIA Plastic Tooling, your role will involve designing and developing 2D/3D plastic injection molds, components, and tool assemblies using CATIA V5/V6. You will be responsible for conducting detailed DFM/DFA/DFMEA studies to ensure manufacturability, reliability, and quality assurance. Additionally, you will evaluate product geometry, create core & cavity designs, cooling circuits, ejector layouts, mold layouts, and BOMs. Your expertise will be crucial in leading design reviews with international customers and maintaining comprehensive design documentation. Key Responsibilities: - Design and develop 2D/3D plastic injection molds, components, and complete tool assemblies using CATIA V5/V6. - Perform detailed DFM/DFA/DFMEA studies for manufacturability, reliability, and quality assurance. - Evaluate product geometry for parting lines, draft angles, undercuts, gating, wall thickness, and venting. - Create core & cavity designs, cooling circuits, ejector layouts, mold layouts, and BOMs. - Conduct mold feasibility and packaging studies to ensure dimensional accuracy and assembly compatibility. - Lead and participate in design reviews with international customers; apply feedback efficiently. - Maintain complete design documentation including EOAT studies, feasibility reports, and revision logs. - Support tool validation and tryout activities; troubleshoot design-related issues and propose engineering solutions. - Contribute to continuous improvement in tool design, focusing on performance, quality, and longevity. Qualifications & Skills: - Diploma/Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Tool Design, or Plastic Engineering (CIPET/IGTR/NTTF preferred). - 5-15 years of dedicated experience in plastic injection mold design. - Strong command of CATIA V5/V6 Part, Assembly, Surface, and Mold Tooling workbenches. - Deep understanding of plastic materials, mold construction, and injection molding processes. - Familiar with GD&T, DFM/DFA/DFMEA, and Moldflow or similar analysis tools. - Excellent problem-solving, communication, and project-handling skills. - Capable of managing multiple international tooling projects with minimal supervision. - Knowledge of North American / European mold design standards will be an added advantage. In addition to the above, preferred experience includes exposure to automotive, consumer, or industrial plastic components, experience in mold validation, vendor interaction, and complete project lifecycle documentation, and understanding of packaging and export-tooling design considerations.
