tooling engineer
Tooling engineers design new tools for manufacturing equipment. They prepare tooling quotation requests. They estimate costs and delivery time, manage tooling construction follow-up and supervise the routine maintenance of tools. They also analyse data to determine the cause of major tooling difficulties and develop recommendations and action plans for solutions.
Also called: tooling technology engineering consultant, manufacturing tooling engineer, tools engineer, tooling technology engineering expert, tooling engineering specialist, tooling technology engineer, tooling engineering adviser, press tooling engineer
