•    Manage projects to ensure timely debugging of new molds and processes to meet first article qualification target so as to facilitate new program start up.
•    Provide technical advice to enhance future product design through mold engineering evaluation. Conduct evaluations for DFM (design for manufacturability).
•    Conduct mold tooling design review with the Engineering, Operation and Quality engineering.
•    Utilize analysis software applications and 53P to enhance molding process accuracy (5-step process, Mold-flow analysis, pressure loss, etc.).
•    Approval of First Article inspections and process capability. Ensure approval through close follow-up on mold debugging, conditioning and modification.
•    Drive the design and build of tools to support scientific injection molding (Balanced runners with melt flipper, cavity pressure, etc.).
•    Liaise with the quality assurance division to maintain a high standard of quality product from newly developed tool.
•    Maintain a proper system and documentation in line with the tooling development requirements, under DND MPDE Execution Matrix.
•    Lead FACA tasks with quality, plant operation team.
•    Work within a cross functional team and participate in LEAN Product Development.
•    Travel to suppliers/plants in order to support development/fine-tuning and or project release.
•    Collaborate with global experts to update and continuously improve operational standards with regard to plastic injection molding.
•    Study or Introduce new technologies into process designs to maximize yield and efficiency.
•    Champion flexible manufacturing and integrate flexible platforms into designs.
•    Attend regional trade shows and continuously benchmark against industry best practices.
