About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree is required.
  • Three to five or more years of independent design experience specifically in precision connector or terminal progressive dies.
  • Advanced proficiency in UG NX or SolidWorks for 3D die design.
  • High skill in AutoCAD and PressCAD for 2D strip layout and component detailing.
  • Ability to independently design strip layouts for precision terminal progressive dies with 20 to 40 or more stations, including carrier design, pilot pin placement, and micro-lancing for stable high-speed strip feeding.
  • Expertise in V-bend, U-bend, and Z-bend forming, embossing, bridging, predicting and pre-compensating for springback based on material properties such as yield strength, and incorporating adjustment mechanisms such as wedges and slides.
  • Experience designing stripper inserts with localized clearance, air-blow structures, and lifter pins to prevent marking of sensitive pre-plated surfaces.
  • Proficiency designing shear angles, undercut relief grooves on punches, and vacuum suction holes to prevent slug pulling or jumping.
  • Experience designing dies for high-speed presses and understanding how press parameters such as strokes per minute and feed length affect die structure and strip stability.
  • Willingness to work on the shop floor; hands-on experience attending T0/T1 tryouts; ability to read CMM or vision system reports and determine corrective actions such as shimming, grinding, and adjusting forming inserts to correct springback.
  • In-depth knowledge of stamping characteristics and appropriate die clearances for C2680 brass, C5191/C5211 phosphor bronze, C7521 nickel silver, SUS301/304 stainless steel, and high-strength copper alloys.

Responsibilities

  • Design precision terminal progressive dies and related strip layouts and components.
  • Attend shop-floor T0/T1 tryouts and troubleshoot die performance, using inspection reports to determine corrective actions.

Desired Qualifications

  • Automotive terminal experience is highly preferred over consumer electronics experience because of tighter tolerances and harder materials.
  • Experience with composite dies, including in-die riveting or clinching for dissimilar metals such as copper and aluminum or copper and steel.
  • Understanding of laser welding requirements; ability to design pre-weld over-forming tolerances for flush weld joints and mitigate post-weld thermal distortion during stamping design.
  • Awareness of nesting and interlocking risks for embossed or bent strips during recoiling, and incorporation of suitable pilot and clearance designs in strip layouts.

About the Company

Venture capital funding deep tech startups

RBVC (Robert Bosch Venture Capital) is a global venture capital firm that backs early-stage deep tech startups in areas like energy efficiency, medical devices, and virtual/augmented reality. It supports companies with funding and access to Bosch’s network and resources to help them scale and bring innovations to market. Unlike traditional VCs, RBVC may purchase solutions for a proof-of-concept while allowing startups to keep their intellectual property, which speeds up development and lowers upfront costs. The firm earns money through equity investments and the eventual success of its portfolio. RBVC’s goal is to accelerate technological advances across multiple industries by connecting startups with Bosch’s ecosystem, customers (from medical centers to data centers), and global reach.
