Mold Maker / Tooling Designer, CAD/CAM – Competitive Salary - Oakwood Village, Ohio

The role:

You will design and manufacture foundry patterns, molds, fixtures, and models using CAD/CAM tools such as SolidWorks, Autodesk PowerMILL, or Autodesk Fusion360. Then you will help machine and fabricate those designs using CNC equipment and manual tools.

Because you follow each project from start to finish, you gain a deeper understanding of how designs perform in real manufacturing and how to improve them.

This role is not suitable for candidates with design-only experience. You must have hands-on CNC machining experience and be comfortable manufacturing your own designs.

Key Responsibilities:

• Each part of your work helps you build valuable technical skills.
• Convert 2D drawings into 3D CAD models and grow your advanced CAD/CAM capability
• Design and manufacture foundry tooling used in casting processes
• Set up and operate 3-axis and 4-axis CNC machining centers and routers to build hands-on machining experience
• Design molds and fixtures used in plastics, polymer, concrete, and ceramic production
• Work with materials such as aluminum, steel, plastics, tooling boards, and wood to expand your fabrication skills
• You will also manage multiple projects and see them through design, machining, and inspection. This gives you ownership of your work and practical experience across the full manufacturing process.
• Comprehend 2D drawings/blue prints.
• Work independently and with a team.

Candidates outside a 30-mile radius must be willing to commute or relocate. Please note relocation support is not provided.
