Tooling Engineer - Fineblank

About This Role

Join our engineering team as a Tooling Engineer where you'll drive innovation in metal forming technology. You'll be the technical bridge between customer needs and manufacturing excellence, designing cutting-edge fineblanking and progressive tooling solutions that push the boundaries of precision manufacturing.

What You'll Do

Customer Partnership & Product Development

•

Work directly with customer engineers to assess part feasibility, clarify specifications, identify critical dimensions, and recommend achievable tolerances for manufacturability.

•

Assist in determining gauging requirements in collaboration with customer and internal Quality Engineers.

•

Review and interpret engineering specifications (e.g., ASTM, ASE, SAE) called out on customer drawings and assess conformance requirements.

•

Create proposal and conceptual product drawings for quotation and internal evaluation.

•

Convert customer-specified materials into internal specifications, including defining key attributes (e.g., alloy, gauge, tolerance, grain size, hardness, coatings).

Strategic Quoting & Process Engineering

•

Identify exceptions to customer drawings/specs.

•

Estimate material usage and run rates.

•

Calculate tooling costs for prototypes, production, and modified products.

•

Maintain a tooling cost model by press group.

•

Identify optimal internal and external manufacturing processes (e.g., wash, packaging, pressure testing, heat treat, plating).

Advanced Tool Design & Innovation

•

Lead tool planning and coordinate cross-functional teams through product development and launch.

•

Determine the best-suited press for each part and provide direction for secondary operation equipment or tooling.

•

Assist in the specification and evaluation of machinery.

•

Develop and maintain tool design standards, in alignment with internal capabilities.

•

Determine tooling requirements and complete tool layouts for a variety of parts.

•

Execute full tool designs, including 2D/3D CAD drawings, assembly drawings, and detailed component views using design standards.

•

Perform fineblanking and progressive tool design calculations (e.g., punch/die clearances, radii).

•

Conduct design reviews with the Toolroom, R&D, and Manufacturing to validate functionality and buildability.

•

Participate in tool development and troubleshooting to support smooth launches and performance optimization.

•

Maintain tool documentation, including revisions, spare recommendations, and tooling history.

•

Complete part and gage drawings and adjust specifications per Quality or Project Engineer input.

•

Order components for assigned tool builds.

Process Excellence & Documentation

•

Redesign machine components due to wear or performance issues.

•

Develop process parameters and identify key control points.

•

Understand and apply press timing and sequencing requirements.

•

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field (or equivalent experience)

•

2-5 years of hands-on experience in fineblanking/progressive engineering, tooling design, or tool build project management

•

Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail

Preferred

•

Proficiency in CAD (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD, NX).

•

Deep understanding of fineblanking/progressive operations, tool steels, press selection, and gauging principles.

•

Experience interacting with customer engineers on part feasibility and engineering changes.

•

Exposure to project coordination or leadership in a cross-functional environment.

Why You'll Love Working Here

•

Work with cutting-edge fineblanking technology and advanced manufacturing processes

•

Collaborate directly with customers on innovative engineering solutions
