Designation: Mechanical Design Engineer – Tooling & Mold Systems
Duration: 3+ years (Feb 2022 – Present)
Vision-driven engineering professional with over 3+ years of progressive experience leading the
design, development, and optimization of precision tooling systems—including sheet metal progressive dies
and injection molds for high-volume manufacturing environments. Proven ability to align design strategies
with production goals and cost constraints, while leading cross-functional teams in CAD development, design
reviews, and tooling validation.
Currently working at JWVC (Mass production of Plastic & sheet metal parts of Haier, Orient, Gree, Dawlance).
Here’s the job description listed.
 Tool Design Leadership: Develop detailed 3D CAD models and 2D technical drawings for progressive
sheet metal dies, plastic injection molds. Applied GD&T and tolerance stack-up methodologies for robust die alignment and repeatability. Preparing drawings (for Laser cut & Wire cut) and models for
design execution at manufacturing floor.

DFM/DFA Execution: Apply Design for Manufacturability and Assembly principles to ensure ease of
machining, assembly, and die maintenance while minimizing rework and improving tool life.
GD&T & Tolerance Stack-Up: Define geometric dimensioning and tolerances in alignment with ISO
standards. Perform clearance and tolerance stack studies to guarantee proper fit and function.
Material Selection: Select appropriate tool steels for sheet metal dies manufacturing. Specialized in the design and development of progressive and transfer sheet metal dies for stamping applications.
Cross-functional Coordination: Collaborate with machining, assembly, quality, and production teams to
incorporate practical feedback into design iterations, ensuring tooling success from tryout through
SOP (Start of Production).
Technical Reporting: Look after the imported dies & molds provided by clients, preparing reports
regarding present condition of dies for further use & deliver it to client to maintain record and life cycle
of dies and molds. Accidental repairing / maintenance and modification in Plastic injection molds and
sheet metal dies as per customer requirements.
Project Management: Lead and manage design schedules, milestone reviews, BOM generation, and
design documentation. Provide status updates to higher management authority.
Mentorship & Training: Meeting with design teams to determine mechanical applications and
requirements. Guide juniors in industry-standard practices, 3D modeling techniques, and
manufacturing-oriented design thinking.
