Job description

We are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to join our Mould Design Engineering team in Singapore.

In this role, you will be responsible for the design and development of high-precision IC mold tooling, from concept and design proposal through detailed 2D/3D engineering drawings, design review and analysis.

You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure designs meet technical requirements, internal design standards and project timelines, while applying engineering analysis to improve design performance, manufacturability and reliability.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop high-precision IC mould tooling, including the preparation of 2D and 3D engineering drawings.
• Develop mould tool design proposals based on project and customer requirements.
• Ensure engineering drawings and design features comply with established design rules, guidelines and engineering standards.
• Review project requirements and work closely with internal stakeholders to obtain the necessary technical and design information.
• Prepare technical documentation and design information required for engineering release.
• Support and participate in engineering/design reviews, highlighting key design considerations, technical risks and proposed solutions.
• Prepare design review materials and clearly communicate technical findings and recommendations to relevant stakeholders.
• Perform CAE and Moldflow analysis, including model generation and first-layer analysis.
• Conduct structural or predictive engineering studies where potential design concerns are identified.
• Analyse simulation results and recommend design modifications to improve performance and address potential technical issues.
• Support risk assessments for design features that fall outside established design guidelines.
• Drive right-first-time design quality while meeting project and drawing-release timelines.
• Collaborate closely with Manufacturing, Quality and other cross-functional teams to resolve design and technical issues.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mould/Die Tooling Design, or a related engineering discipline.
• Approximately 2 years of relevant experience in precision mechanical engineering, tooling design or a related field.
• Experience in mould and die/tooling design would be an advantage.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD design software, such as Solid Edge or SolidWorks.
• Good understanding of precision engineering and mechanical design principles.
• Experience with Moldflow, CAE or engineering simulation/analysis tools would be advantageous.
• Ability to interpret and apply engineering design rules, standards and guidelines.
• Able to work independently with appropriate guidance and manage assigned engineering deliverables.
• Good communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to engage internal stakeholders on technical and design matters.
• Strong sense of ownership, attention to detail and commitment to design quality and on-time delivery.

What You'll Work On

You will have the opportunity to work on precision engineering and semiconductor mould tooling applications, combining mechanical design with engineering analysis to solve real-world technical challenges.

The role provides exposure across the design lifecycle — from understanding requirements and developing tooling concepts to detailed design, simulation, technical review and manufacturing support.
