Junior/Senior TOOL DESIGNER

Job Description:

Key Responsibilities:
1. Mould Design & Development
 Study part drawings and 3D models of plastic components to design the corresponding
injection moulds.
 Develop complete mould designs including core, cavity, sliders, lifters, ejectors, cooling
systems, and gating layouts.
 Ensure mould design feasibility considering mould flow, shrinkage, draft angles,
venting, and parting line aspects.
 Design 2-plate, 3-plate, hot runner, and multi-cavity moulds as per part and production
requirements.
 Optimize mould design for easy maintenance, shorter cycle times, and improved tool
life.
