Full Job Description

Job Description:

At Saab in West Lafayette, IN, you have the opportunity to join a team that manufactures the rear section of the T-7A Redhawk military trainer aircraft for the United States Air Force. This flagship facility utilizes advanced manufacturing techniques and leverage research and development to support Saab’s broad product portfolio.

The West Lafayette operation is currently seeking a Manager, Tooling Engineering, who is responsible for leading a team of engineers and technician to support and improve the manufacturing operation's tooling resources and processes.

Key Responsibilities

Tooling Strategy & Lifecycle Management

Own the full lifecycle of production tooling, fixtures, jigs, gauges, molds, and dies — from design concept through qualification, in-service use, calibration, refurbishment, and retirement.
Develop and maintain a tooling master plan aligned to production schedules, new program launches, and rate increases.
Establish and enforce tool control procedures, including numbering, storage, traceability, and configuration management in line with AS9100 requirements.

Design & Engineering Oversight

Direct the design or redesign of tooling to support new part introductions, engineering changes, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Review and approve tool designs for manufacturability, ergonomics, cycle time, and compliance with engineering drawings and specifications.
Partner with Manufacturing and Design Engineering on make/buy decisions for tooling.

Maintenance, Calibration & Compliance

Oversee preventive maintenance, repair, and calibration programs for all production and inspection tooling.
Ensure all tooling and gauging remain within calibration and are audit-ready for customer, FAA, and AS9100/NADCAP audits.
Maintain accurate tooling records, including MRB dispositions, tool history files, and change logs.

Team Leadership

Manage, mentor, and develop tool designers, toolmakers, tool room technicians, and tool crib staff.
Set performance goals, conduct reviews, and manage staffing levels against production demand.
Foster a safety-first culture in the tool room consistent with OSHA and site EHS requirements.
Contribute to a people-culture in alignment with the core Company values: Trust, Drive, Expertise and Support.

Vendor & Supply Chain Management

Source, qualify, and manage relationships with external tooling vendors and machine shops.
Negotiate cost, lead time, and quality terms for outsourced tooling builds and repairs.
Manage the tooling capital budget, including forecasting, purchase justification, and cost tracking.

Production Support

Ensure tooling availability meets production schedules; lead root cause analysis and corrective action for tooling-related downtime or nonconformances.
Support first article inspections (FAI/AS9102) and production part approval processes tied to tooling qualification.
Drive continuous improvement (Lean/Six Sigma) initiatives to reduce tool changeover time, improve durability, and lower cost per part.
Other relevant tasks and projects as assigned
