Job description

Our operations team is expanding and looking to add a Stamping Technologist. We are looking for a dynamic and driven candidate who is interested in joining a fast-growing global company in the automotive sector.

The Stamping Technologist will be responsible for developing and optimizing stamping processes for automotive body-structure components and steel battery enclosure parts. Support new-project feasibility reviews, process planning, die design reviews, tryouts, commissioning, production launches, and ramp-up.

• Establish stamping process parameters, standard operating procedures, inspection requirements, and technical documentation.
• Analyze and resolve stamping defects, including cracking, wrinkling, springback, splitting, scratching, dents, burrs, and dimensional deviations.
• Work closely with Tooling, Production, Quality, Maintenance, and Product Engineering teams to resolve process and production issues.
• Conduct root-cause analysis and implement containment, corrective, and preventive actions using 5-Why, Fishbone, 8D, and other problem-solving tools.
• Optimize press parameters, die conditions, lubrication, material flow, cycle time, scrap rate, and material utilization.
• Monitor stamping process capability and production performance and implement continuous improvement actions.
• Participate in product and engineering change reviews and coordinate the required process and tooling modifications.
• Support equipment and die capability studies, trial production, dimensional validation, and customer sample submissions.
• Prepare and maintain process flow diagrams, PFMEAs, Control Plans, work instructions, parameter sheets, and technical reports.
• Provide technical training and guidance to stamping supervisors, technicians, die makers, and production operators.
• Ensure compliance with company requirements and applicable occupational health and safety regulations in Ontario.

To be a qualified candidate, you must have the following:

• College diploma or bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Forming, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• At least three years of automotive stamping process or manufacturing engineering experience.
• Strong knowledge of sheet-metal forming, stamping presses, progressive dies, transfer dies, or large stamping dies.
• Experience troubleshooting common stamping defects and optimizing forming processes.
• Ability to interpret product drawings, die drawings, GD&T requirements, material specifications, and dimensional reports.
• Familiarity with high-strength steel and automotive body-structure manufacturing processes.
• Knowledge of APQP, PPAP, PFMEA, Control Plans, SPC, MSA, and 8D problem-solving.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD, CATIA, NX, AutoForm, or other relevant engineering and forming-simulation software is an asset.
• Strong analytical, hands-on problem-solving, project coordination, and cross-functional communication skills.
• Good English communication skills and the ability to prepare technical documents and reports.
• Ability to support shifts, overtime, weekends, and travel when required during project launches.
• Must be legally authorized to work in Canada.

Key to being successful in this role:

• Experience with an automotive Tier 1 supplier or large stamping manufacturer.
• Experience with steel battery enclosures, automotive body structures, or structural safety components.
• Experience with 1,500 MPa high-strength steel forming and springback control.
• Knowledge of automated press lines, robotic material handling, and die-change systems.
• Mandarin-English bilingual communication skills.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to stand and walk for extended periods during the workday.
• Ability to lift, carry, push, and pull materials and tooling as required.
• Ability to work around stamping presses, production machinery, noise, and manufacturing equipment.
• Ability to safely use hand tools, power tools, measuring equipment, and other tooling-related equipment.
• Must be able to follow all required PPE and workplace safety requirements.
