Job Description

Description :

We are currently seeking to hire a CAD Designer / Project Engineer. Design of initial CAD models, feedback from testing, and various generation prototype phases. Prototype designs are printed in 3D concept visualization and multi-phase testing. Desire to learn plastic injection molding and mold layout functions are required. Part of the design must be conscious of cavity notams such as draft, flow, wall thickness, gates, venting, etc.; molding machine specs and capacities must also be considered.

Approved prototype designs will be programmed for CNC 3D surface machining. CNC programming and cutter path verification knowledge are necessary. Prototypes may be machined in various metals for true proof of concept. Basic knowledge of plastics and plastic mold interaction is required. Specific resin analysis is performed to determine characteristic values such as strength, geometry, and shrink.
