Tool Designer Jobs in Massachusetts

A Tool Designer in the manufacturing industry is responsible for creating and developing specialized tools and equipment used in the production process. Their duties often involve designing, testing, and refining products, and they may also be involved in troubleshooting equipment issues or developing new methods for improving manufacturing processes. The role requires strong technical skills, including proficiency in CAD software and a firm understanding of production processes and principles.

Important skills for a tool designer include analytical skills, problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and a strong understanding of materials and manufacturing processes.
