Job description

Are you a skilled CAD designer with a passion for precision design and innovative product development? We are seeking a detail-oriented Mold Design Technician to play a pivotal role in our client's design, trial, and production operations.

In this dynamic position, you will bridge the gap between design conceptualization and hands-on manufacturing—creating advanced 2D/3D CAD models, conducting quality testing, and collaborating directly with global teams and customers to bring high-performance packaging solutions to market.

What You’ll Do

• Drive Design & Modeling: Develop high-precision 2D and 3D CAD drawings for preforms, mold assemblies, modifications, and container models.
• Oversee Technical Documentation: Maintain accurate Mold Specifications, Bills of Materials (BOMs), item codes, and revision records.
• Conduct Testing & Inspection: Perform comprehensive container evaluations (top load, wall thickness, drop tests) and utilize 3D scanning technology for design validation.
• Support Trials & Inventory: Schedule and track pilot/production mold trials, record molding parameters, and manage spare parts inventory.
• Collaborate Globally: Serve as a technical liaison between internal sales teams, manufacturing facilities, global offices, and external clients.

What We’re Looking For

• CAD Expertise: strong proficiency in 2D and 3D CAD drafting for complex mechanical or mold components.
• Technical Blueprint Reading: Proven ability to translate customer specs, 3D models, and physical samples into actionable drawings.
• Hands-on Testing & Inspection: Experience using physical testing equipment and 3D scanners for quality assurance and design checks.
• Analytical Mindset: Skilled in evaluating design feasibility, including cycle time, cavitation, and component sharing.
• Strong Communication: Excellent organizational and interpersonal skills to work effectively with cross-functional and international teams.
