About the Role
Develop detailed 3D models and 2D drawings for a wide range of aerospace tooling, including assembly jigs, fixtures, molds, and gauges. Software & Technology Utilize CAD software such as Siemens NX, CATIA V5, and/or SolidWorks to create, modify, and maintain tooling designs. Apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) principles to ensure accuracy, repeatability, and manufacturability. Coordinate with internal manufacturing teams and external tooling vendors to support fabrication, validation, and delivery of tooling (experience working with proven external tool designers and manufacturers is a strong plus). Apply basic structural analysis principles and conduct research to validate tooling concepts and designs. Ensure tooling meets quality, safety, ergonomic, and regulatory requirements. Incorporate Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles to ensure tools can be produced efficiently and cost-ef...
