- Develop fabrication requirements that incorporate standardized manufacturing instructions (ERP system), along with procurement specifications and inspection plans to guide the production process.
- Ensure design documentation clearly communicates technical intent; note that any changes requiring formal documentation updates must be submitted to the Tooling Configuration Control Analyst.
Provide hands-on technical support to in-house manufacturing teams and vendors during fabrication.
Perform first-article and in-process inspections to validate that manufacturing outputs meet design specifications and performance targets.
Troubleshoot and resolve fabrication issues to maintain quality and schedule.

Technical Skills & Competences:

Passion for design, i.e., enthusiasm for designing, building, and supporting tools for critical naval machinery.
Excellent communication and written skills; able to convey technical concepts to diverse audiences and produce high‑quality documentation.
Strong organization and prioritizing skills to manage multiple projects simultaneously and allocate resources efficiently to meet tight and changing schedules.
Leadership – capable of working with cross‑functional teams, mentoring junior engineers, and making technical decisions.
Attention to detail, consistently delivering high-quality drawings, and applying GD&T to meet optimal tooling and hardware requirements.
Proactive in continuous improvement, the candidate identifies potential challenges, applies root cause analysis, and implements process improvements that enhance quality, productivity, and cost effectiveness in new tool design.

Basic Qualifications for Principal Tooling Design Engineer:

Bachelor's in a STEM discipline (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math) with a minimum of 5 years of technical experience in design for manufacturing (DMF); master’s degree in a STEM discipline with 3 years of experience.
Experience in 3D CAD modeling using standard commercial CAD software.
Experience in 2D drafting and drawing creation from 3D models.
Experience modifying existing 2D drawings and 3D CAD models.
U.S. citizenship required.

Preferred qualifications:

Tool‑design and development experience with the ability to design, prototype, qualify, and sustain production‑quality fixtures, gauges, and test rigs for aerospace/defense programs, demonstrating end‑to‑end ownership from concept through release.
Advanced CAD expertise, mastery of 3‑D modeling tools (e.g., Creo, SolidWorks, CATIA, Siemens NX) plus downstream DFM software, enabling rapid creation of detailed drawings.
Experience with AS9100, MIL‑STD‑1521 (tool design), ITAR/FAR compliance.
NX modeling and drafting experience.
Experience evaluating vendor and equipment capability and ability to perform required tasks, including production of tooling as well as unique aerospace part production.
