Job Description
Job Description
- Design 2D flat patterns for composite layups, considering forming constraints and structural needs.
- Develop 3D forming patterns from 2D layouts, incorporating spring-back and forming behavior.
- Design and engineer thermal forming molds based on 3D CAD data, with consideration for manufacturability and performance.
- Create 2D waterjet nesting programs to optimize material usage and cut efficiency.
- Perform FEA analysis for:
+ Simulating the forming process
+ Evaluating stress, strain, and structural integrity of final parts
+ Providing actionable feedback to customers to improve and optimize their designs
- Interface with customers and internal teams to ensure engineering solutions align with performance requirements and expectations.
- Lead or contribute to hands-on mold tuning and thermal forming trials.
- Collaborate closely with the machine shop during the tool fabrication process.
