Tool & Die Engineer for Segment Stamping, Optimus

The ManufacturingEngineer, Stamping Tooling, leads design, development and optimization ofprecision stamping dies and tooling for next-generation electric motormanufacturing. You will collaborate closely with cross-functionalteams-including design engineering, automation engineering, tooling suppliers,quality, process, and operations-to design, build and deploy progressivestamping dies with extreme precision requirements. The successful candidatewill have extensive theoretical and hands-on experiences in all facets ofhigh-volume electric motor stamping, driving tool lifecycles from concept toproduction including root-cause analysis and continuous process improvements.

• Tooling Design &
  Lifecycle: Spearhead the CAD design and development of custom,
  high-precision stator dies, focusing on material utilization, interlocking
  features, and high-speed stamping operations
• Design for Manufacturability
  (DFM): Collaborate with product design engineers and manufacturing teams
  to ensure stator geometries can be efficiently and cost-effectively
  stamped without compromising magnetic or mechanical performance
• Simulation & Analysis:
  Utilize simulation software to conduct flow, thermal, and stress analysis
  to optimize die design, minimize tooling wear, and improve stamping
  quality
• Continuous Improvement:
  Conduct root-cause analysis (RCA) on tooling failures, stamping defects,
  or production inefficiencies, implementing corrective actions to maximize
  uptime and die life
• Mentorship: Provide technical
  guidance and mentorship to junior tool and die engineers and production
  technicians
• Documentation: Prepare and
  maintain detailed design specifications, workflows, and preventive
  maintenance procedures for all die systems
• Spare Parts: select and
  define required and appropriate spare parts & consumables

• Degree in Mechanical
  Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent experience
• Experience: 5+ years of
  direct, hands-on experience in tool and die engineering, with a strong
  focus on progressive dies, lamination stamping, and electric motor stator
  production
• Software Proficiency: 5+
  years of experience with 3D/2D CAD platforms (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD)
  and die simulation software (e.g., AutoForm, PAM-STAMP)
• Technical Skills: Deep
  understanding of metallurgy, tool steel selection, coatings, and GD&T
  (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing)
• Problem-Solving: Proven track
  record of applying root cause problem-solving methodologies to resolve
  complex manufacturing issues
• Strong communication and
  collaboration skills to work with cross-functional teams, including
  suppliers and operations staff
• Ability to work in a
  fast-paced, dynamic environment with occasional overtime or shift work to
  support 24/7 manufacturing
• Travel as required for die
  supplier visits, trials or buyoffs (>5%)
