Résumé du poste

DAHER's Kodiak Aircraft facility in Sandpoint, Idaho is seeking a highly capable Senior Tooling Designer to create practical, reliable tooling solutions that support stable, repeatable, and efficient aircraft production.

The role connects Tooling, Manufacturing Engineering, Production, Quality, Supply Chain and suppliers, requiring hands-on manufacturing insight and strong tooling judgment to improve ergonomics, repeatability, and quality in a low‑rate aerospace environment.

Qualifications

• 7–10+ years in tooling design and fabrication within aerospace or complex manufacturing.
• Hands-on fabrication background: machining, welding, sheet metal, and tooling assembly.
• Deep understanding of fixture design, locator strategies, tolerance stack‑up, repeatability, and assembly constraints.
• Proficiency in CAD; NX strongly preferred, with CATIA/SolidWorks as alternatives.
• Knowledge of GD&T per ASME Y14.5 and gaging/fixturing principles.
• Proven ability to design tooling that improves production efficiency, ergonomics and quality.

Responsabilités

• Work with mechanics, Manufacturing Engineers, and Tooling Lead to identify high‑impact tooling needs.
• Design tooling, fixtures, jigs, and assembly aids for structures, subassemblies, machining, fabrication, and final assembly.
• Create detailed tool drawings supporting manufacturing, assembly, maintenance, repair, and supplier fabrication.
• Ensure tooling is practical, robust, repeatable, ergonomic and fabricable with available resources.
• Use production data to prioritize tooling improvements based on rework, cycle time, bottlenecks and labor impact.
• Validate tooling performance in production and redesign tooling to add value.
