Job description

Key Responsibilities

• Develop 3D models and 2D drawings for HPDC components using CAD software (SolidWorks/NX).
• Design die casting dies, gating‑runner systems, cooling channels, ejector systems, and parting lines.
• Conduct DFM/DFMEA for all new components to ensure manufacturability and defect‑free production.
• Work closely with production, tooling, and quality teams for design validation and feasibility review.
• Optimize designs to reduce cycle time, material usage, porosity, and casting defects.
• Perform simulation analysis (Magmasoft/ProCAST/AnyCasting) for flow, cooling, and solidification.
• Prepare BOM, technical documentation, and engineering change notes.
• Support tool trials, sample inspection, and PPAP documentation.
• Identify improvements in existing die designs for higher productivity and tool life.
• Coordinate with customers for design requirements, approval, and change management.

Required Skills Competencies

• Strong knowledge of High Pressure Die Casting processes, die design fundamentals, and aluminum alloys.
• Proficiency in CAD tools (SolidWorks, NX) and casting simulation software.
• Understanding of GDT, tolerance analysis, and engineering standards.
• Ability to interpret technical drawings and product specifications.
• Problem‑solving skills for casting defects: porosity, cold shuts, misrun, warpage, etc.
• Good communication for cross‑functional and customer interactions.

Qualification Experience

• Diploma/B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical/Automobile/Production Engineering.
• 5+ years of experience in HPDC design or die/tooling design.

Preferred

• Experience in automotive HPDC components.
• Knowledge of PPAP, APQP, and quality tools.
• Exposure to CNC machining requirements for post‑casting operations.
