About the role
Position Summary Responsible for the end-to-end design, development, and validation of high-precision jigs and fixtures specifically for gadget manufacturing. This role bridges the gap between customer concepts and shop-floor execution, ensuring that all tooling meets stringent precision, repeatability, and First Article success standards. Core Responsibilities Technical Analysis & Customer Liaison 3D Model Study: Perform a detailed audit of customer-provided 3D models / 2D drawings to identify assembly constraints and critical dimensions. Gap Analysis: Detect DFM/DFA gaps and communicate directly with the customer to resolve technical ambiguities. Acceptance Criteria: Define the specific performance and quality benchmarks for each fixture. Design & Component Selection BOP Management: Select and specify Bought-Out Parts (BOP), including identifying equivalent makes to optimize cost and lead times. Mechanical: Precision bearings, linear rails, and slide ways. Pneumatics: Cylinders, DCV valves, and manifold systems. Automation: PLCs, HMI units, and sensors (Proximity, Optical, Magnetic). Electrical: Switches, push buttons, and wiring harnesses. Documentation & Standards Assembly Guides: Create visual, step-by-step assembly instructions for the toolroom. Check Sheets: Develop comprehensive inspection check sheets to verify fixture build quality. Execution & Validation Troubleshooting: Lead the technical debugging of fixtures during the assembly and testing phases. FAI Support: Actively support the assembly team during First Article Inspection (FAI) to ensure the fixture delivers parts that meet 100% of customer specifications. Technical Skills & Qualifications CAD Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in 3D modeling software (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, or NX). Pneumatic/Electrical Logic: Ability to design actuation sequences and sensor integration for automated fixtures. Analytical Thinking: Strong root-cause analysis skills for troubleshooting mechanical misalignments. Precision Focus: Deep understanding of tolerance stack-up and high-precision manufacturing techniques. KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (KPIs) Fixture Accuracy: Zero deviation from defined Acceptance Criteria. FAI Success Rate: Achieving Right First Time on First Article Inspections. Documentation Clarity: Zero errors in Assembly Instructions and Check Sheets.
