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 REQUIREMENTS:
