Global Senior Tooling Engineer

Overview

What You Will Do As the Global Senior Tooling Engineer, you will be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of complex, high-volume injection tooling programs supporting NPI. You will ensure alignment between design intent, manufacturability, cost, quality, and schedule while contributing to strategic initiatives that strengthen long-term manufacturing capability, customer outcomes, and technology readiness. The role can be based in Cork, Ireland; Czech Republic or the UK and can be hybrid or remote.

How You Will Do It

Injection Tooling & NPI Delivery

• Lead delivery of multiple concurrent injection tooling programs from tool specification requirements (TSR) and quoting through tool build, sampling, and product launch.
• Operate effectively across a multi-year tooling pipeline with sustained technical ownership.
• Provide technical leadership at all project gates, ensuring manufacturability, cost, quality, and schedule alignment.

Design for Manufacturing & Technical Expertise

• Conduct DFM reviews and Moldflow analysis in compliance with internal engineering standards.
• Generate DFM reports and drive design updates with R&D and engineering teams.
• Review supplier tool designs and validate injection moulding machine specifications.
• Support part quality improvement through sampling phases.

Supplier, Procurement & Launch Support

• Support tooling RFQs and TSRs.
• Guide procurement on supplier engagement and part sourcing strategy.
• Align pilot and launch sample demand with resin suppliers, sampling, quality, and tool logistics through launch.

Cross-Functional & Project Support

• Provide technical support to project management (~40% effort).
• Coordinate with R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, Procurement, and suppliers.
• Balance execution with risk mitigation and schedule acceleration.

Scope & Impact

• Owns complex multi tooling programs critical to NPI success.
• Influences manufacturing readiness, lead-time reduction, and customer delivery.
• Contributes to future capability in additive manufacturing, digital workflows, and talent development.

Success Measures

• On-time tooling delivery and launch readiness for multiple programs
• DFM quality and reduced tooling risk
• Effective cross-functional coordination
• Demonstrated contribution to strategic manufacturing initiatives

Essential & Desired Qualifications

• Essential What we look for
• PTC Creo – Tool and component design review, technical evaluation, and supplier collaboration
• Autodesk Moldflow Insight Ultimate / Adviser Ultimate – Flow, pack, warp, and cooling analysis to support DFM decisions and tooling risk reduction
• SharePoint – Documentation management, tooling program tracking, and cross-functional collaboration

• Desired / Value-Add
• Microsoft Power Apps – Development or use of digital workflows, tooling dashboards, or automation of repetitive engineering tasks
• Familiarity with digital tooling workflows, data-driven decision support, and practical use of AI-enabled tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot)

• Preferred / Value-Add Capabilities
• Experience supporting or leading transition of selected parts from injection moulding to additive manufacturing.
• Contribution to long-term additive manufacturing strategy, supplier evaluation, or technology road-mapping.
• Exposure to hybrid tooling approaches to reduce lead time.
• Experience modernizing engineering workflows using SharePoint, Power Platform, or AI
• Ability to identify and automate repetitive engineering tasks to improve efficiency.
