CAD Design Engineer High Pressure Die Casting tools/CAD Konstrukteur für Druckgiesswerkzeuge- Gigafactory Berlin (m/w/d)

As a 3D Design Engineer, you will be collaborate with Product Design, Simulation, and Process Engineering, to establish High Pressure Die Casting tooling requirements and create fully detailed 3D CAD (Catia) design models for die fabrication by tooling suppliers.   

• Create the CAD design of new die cast tooling from concept thru production, including split lines, slides, ejection, vent and cooling system (e.g. waterlines in tool steel as well as internal and external plumbing)
• Provide feedback to Product Design Engineers to achieve the right balance between product performance and manufacturability from a tooling perspective (e.g. draft angles, rib/boss geometry, etc.)
• Incorporate input from Flow and Thermal Simulation Engineers into the die design
• Capture feedback from Casting Process Engineers into new and replacement dies
• Develop new ideas to push the envelope of performance (cycle time, yield, uptime) and minimize risk
• Provide technical oversight of tooling suppliers
• Assist in the development of tooling design and fabrication schedules, then execute accordingly
• Manage parallel, rather than serial, product design, die design, and die fabrication timelines
• Prepare documentation for ease of die assembly and disassembly for technicians.
• Keep track of design changes made on the dies
• Check the die condition before production after maintenance/refurbishment to ensure all the design changes were implemented in the die.
• Inspect the die condition routinely to see what changes are needed to improve die life
