Job Description
Product Design Engineer & Tooling Engineer
We are seeking a Product Design Engineer and a Tooling Engineer to become part of our team!
Responsibilities:
Product Design Engineer:
· Daily tasks include direct communication with our sales team, customers and manufacturing department to develop new bottle designs and/or enhance our current products.
· Throughout this process our Product Design Engineers compile package requirements such as: volume, fill level, overflow, overall size, height, width, depth, bottle gram weight, neck finish type and label stipulations.
· In addition, any performance requirements, such as top load and drop test, will need to be identified and qualified by the customer. Bottle testing and measurements of sample containers will be conducted in our bottle lab to include: measuring overall bottle and neck finish dimensions, calculating volume, fill level, and overflow, and checking container weight, wall thickness and material distribution. These measurements will be taken using instruments such as an optical comparator, digital height gauge, calipers and Magna Mike.
· SolidWorks 2024 is used to develop fully parametric 2D sketches. The solids and surfaces will be driven from these 2D sketches to develop new product bottle designs. 3D computer models will be generated, and in many cases 3D models will be produced on our in-house 3D printer. Once approved, a scaled cavity is created applying the required shrink rate to yield target container dimensions, from which finished molds will be produced.
· We also have a Faro Arm laser scanner with Polyworks software used for reverse engineering.
Qualifications:
· 5+ years working experience in related field.
· Minimum of bachelor’s in engineering or 7 years’ experience in related field.
· Preferred degrees: Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology, Product Design Engineering Technology or Packaging Engineering
· 5+ years CAD experience (SolidWorks preferred and/or NX).
· Proficient in SolidWorks.
· Equivalent combinations of education and/or experience will be considered.
· Strong mechanical ability and knowledge of extrusion blow mold equipment.
· Excellent Communication
· Proficient in the use of Microsoft Office suite applications
· Experience with a Faro Arm Laser scanner & Polyworks is a plus.
Tooling Engineer:
· Daily tasks will include direct communication with our Sales Team, Customers and Manufacturing.
· Working together with Product Design you will use SolidWorks 2024to develop fully parametric 2D sketches.
· The solids will be driven from these 2D sketches to develop 3D mold designs. Within these 3D designs we develop the cooling line / channels that best suit the container shape to provide the customer with optimized cooling for enhanced cycle time.
· You will also be required to design venting, scrap chambers, neck finish and adapt the mold to the customer blow mold machine platform.
· In some cases, we also design die tooling to provide optimal wall thickness in the end product. Within the design of the neck finish you will be required to research shrink rates (within company history) to apply these to an excel embedded design table which drives dimensions to yield in spec container neck finishes.
Qualifications:
Compensation is determined based on applicants level of experience. Please disregard any pay estimates posted by ZipRecruiter.
