Day to Day Responsibilities:

• Analyze engineering models/drawings to define the sequence of fabrication operations to ensure that the design intent and component quality can be achieved.
• Make proper estimations, taking into consideration such factors as materials, tooling (cavities, family molds, overmolds, gating strategies etc), manufacturing times, inspection times and types of equipment required.
• Work closely with injection mold/casting experts, Quality, Engineering, Management and other team members to successfully satisfy the end customer.
• Experience with sourcing tooling and finishes.
• Cost estimating experience (injection mold and casting) on prototype, low volume, and high volume quantities

Must have knowledge of:

• Multitude of injection molding and casting fabrication technologies
• Gate strategies, mold-flow understanding, single and family cavity molds, overmolding and simple custom tooling knowledge.
• Must have knowledge of welding and cost estimations on welding.
• Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance (GD&T).
• Protocols, standards, technologies, and machining applications.
• Reviewing customer RFQs to determine material requirements, processing and job routing.
• Communicating with customers and partners to accurately define requirements and expectations.
• Work with outside vendors/services to achieve best possible prices.
• Consolidating all outside costs and internal costs associated with process time in engineering, fabrication, post fabrication assembly, finishing and QC.
• Creating detailed quote packages for final review.
• Managing quote logs daily and KPI tracking

Ability to:

• Interrogate engineering solid models, drawings and is familiar with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
• Manipulate / modify CAD models
• Engage in technical discussions to support to machinists and process engineers.
• Demonstrate excellent organizational discipline.
• Communicate effectively, both verbally, and in writing.
• Read and interpret CAD, blueprints, technical drawings, and specifications.
• Effectively review and analyze DFM problems.
• Operate effectively in a team environment.
