Toolmaker / Senior Toolmaker

• Tool Fabrication & Assembly
  Manufacture and assemble complex 3D stamping tools using precision machining and hand-fitting techniques.
  Ensure dies meet design and functional requirements (e.g., part form accuracy, surface finish, and dimensional tolerances).

• Tool Maintenance
  Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on 3D stamping dies.
  Troubleshoot and repair worn or damaged tools to restore optimal function.

• Tool Design Collaboration
  Work closely with the Tool & Die Design and Production Engineering teams during the tool development process.
  Provide feedback to improve tool design for manufacturability and maintainability.

• Trial & Tuning
  Conduct tool try-outs and tuning to achieve first-pass yield and part quality.
  Optimize press parameters for new and existing tools.

• Quality & Documentation
  Verify tools against technical drawings, 3D models, and part inspection results.
  Maintain detailed tool history and maintenance records.

• Support Continuous Improvement
