This position was created to ensure part development and maturation. The role of Project Tooling Specialist communicates with P&D, Tooling and Moldflow departments to follow up part 3D data evolution, find issues and opportunities in the concept phase to create feasible and robust part 3D data that complies with POL – Plastic Omnium Lighting standards and design rules.

In addition to Feasibility tasks, this position requires management skills as well to coordinate tools launch, updated information about timing, design evolution on part, pre-acceptance at the supplier side and final acceptance of the mold in POL Mexico 

• Follow up the design evolution and collaborates on feasibility evaluation during the design phase.
• Make recommendations for mold flow analysis, capable to interpret MFR file and create recommendations for filling and gate optimization (Experience to run mold flow software is preferable)
• Coordinate & evaluate CAE modeling for mold flow and FEA analysis, etc.
• Interpret customer design specifications and drawings to evaluate parts for production.
• Advise product design with an emphasis on manufacturability from a tooling perspective.
• Determine tool design & assumptions such as:  quality; GD&T; fit interfaces; health & safety; reliability; cost; timing capability studies at prototype & production stages; downstream manufacturing processes (decorating and assembly)
• Prepare specification of the molds for quotation.
• Communicate the changes of part design to make it feasible for molding, approves the concept of the mold with respect to the part surface quality.
• Follow up the manufacturing of the mold to assure timing and quality of the mold.
