INJECTION MOLD TOOLING DESIGNER
This is a hands-on tooling design role for someone who understands injection molds beyond simply designing plastic parts. You will help develop and standardize mold platforms that can be reused across a large portfolio of high-volume molded products, improving tooling efficiency, flexibility, and speed to launch.
The company designs and builds its tooling in-house, giving this person direct access to mold makers, machinists, programmers, and engineering throughout the entire process.
Relocation assistance is available. Located in Western Oregon and posted around the country for exposure and confidentiality.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Design injection mold bases and tooling platforms for high-volume production
Develop standardized and reusable tooling concepts including mold bases, inserts, and interchangeable cavity systems
Create complete mold layouts including gating, cooling, venting, ejection, cores, and cavities
Develop 3D models, assemblies, and detailed tooling drawings in SolidWorks
Work directly with the internal toolroom throughout mold design, machining, assembly, and validation
Design around hot runner systems and high-volume molding requirements
Apply DFM, tolerance analysis, and root cause problem solving to improve tooling performance
Support tooling standardization and reuse to reduce lead times and capital investment
REQUIREMENTS:
5+ years of injection mold design, mold making, or advanced tooling experience
Strong understanding of injection mold construction, mold bases, cores, cavities, shutoffs, cooling, venting, and ejection
Advanced SolidWorks experience required
Ability to design tooling with manufacturability, mold performance, and long-term serviceability in mind
Strong understanding of injection molding processes and high-volume production
Experience with hot runner systems preferred
Experience with modular, standardized, or reusable tooling concepts is a plus, but not required
Mastercam experience is a plus
Degree preferred, but equivalent mold design or mold making experience will be considered
