Tooling Engineer IV

Job Description

Day to Day:

This role supports additive manufacturing by designing and validating tooling that enables consistent, productionready builds in a fastpaced factory environment. The engineer will work handson with additive technicians, manufacturing, and quality teams to design fixtures, build plates, and postprocessing tooling using CAD and GD&T best practices. Success in this role requires regular time on the shop floor, troubleshooting realtime tooling challenges and driving continuous improvement. This position is based onsite in Auburn and plays a key role in scaling additive manufacturing from development into repeatable production.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop additive manufacturing tooling, including build plates, fixtures, alignment tools, and postprocessing supports using CAD and GD&T best practices.

• Provide handson shop floor support, troubleshooting tooling and fixture issues during active builds and postprocessing to minimize downtime.

• Collaborate crossfunctionally with additive technicians, manufacturing, quality, and engineering teams to ensure tooling enables repeatable, productionready builds.

• Validate tooling fit, function, and durability, making iterative improvements to support thermal effects, distortion, and production use.

Support the transition of additive manufacturing from development to production, contributing to tooling standardization, documentation, and continuous improvement efforts.
