Tool Room Engineer Creation and Testing of New Tools

Tool Room Engineer Creation and Testing of New Tools Job Description Duties: Preventive Tooling Maintenance Governance: Make sure that venting channels and parting lines are spotless by carrying out planned preventive maintenance cycles based on machine shot-count targets. Breakdown Troubleshooting & Defect Resolution: Oversee quick toolroom interventions during production line stoppages, identifying and resolving faults caused by tooling, such as ejector pin jams, sink marks, flash, and drag lines. Precision Machining & Core Refurbishment: Modify or rebuild damaged mold inserts using specialist toolroom equipment, such as high-precision surface grinders, milling machines, lathes, and electrical discharge machining units. Hot Runner System Management: Use electrical diagnostic meters to replace malfunctioning heating manifolds, thermocouples, and valve gates in multi-cavity hot runner systems. Tooling Lifecycle & Shot-Count Tracking: Utilize computer spreadsheets to keep track of the overall number of shots performed, modification histories, and part replacement timetables. Update comprehensive technical record records for each mold asset. Focus Skills: Advanced Mold Structural Assembly Mechanics: Comprehensive operational knowledge of various mold architectures, such as sequential valve gating systems, lifters, unscrewing cores, slide-core side actions, and multi-plate structures. Hot Runner Electrical Mapping Fluency: Excellent ability to identify short circuits in hot runner manifolds, measure internal resistance values, and diagnose and map electrical circuits. Precision Polishing & Surface Treatment Techniques: Excellent proficiency in sophisticated cavity polishing and optical mirror-finishing without altering cavity dimensions or essential edge geometry. Spreadsheet for Toolroom Maintenance Performance Literacy: Excellent familiarity with using computer spreadsheets to track tooling availability metrics across time, monitor mold tolerances, and gather analytical breakdown data.
