Job description

The Tool Stress Engineer classifications work with the Tooling Design and Fabrication team in developing and designing a variety of tools and equipment required to support manufacturing, quality and test operations. These positions evaluate and structurally analyze tools during all phases of tool design, from initial concepts, to preliminary design models and drawings, to final drawing release, through tool fabrication and into tool usage. These positions ensure that tools meet all relevant structural requirements, in accordance with their proposed usage, prior to tool fabrication. These positions also structurally analyze design changes and modifications, and address issues during tool usage when they arise.

UPDATE from Manager 10/10/22: "We do want people with tool design experience, knowing how to work with CAD software (CREO especially), but actually performing stress analysis is a key feature we are looking for. Actual experience with modeling and analyzing in ANSYS and/or NASTRAN is critical. Yes, hand calculations are part of the job, but for difficult tools, programming and using analytical software with real, on the job experience is what we are looking for. This last round of resumes only had key words listed, but no actual stress analysis experience. Knowing how to read a program output is not enough. We need folks who can create and import the models, program the code, run the code and analyze the output."
