About this role
About the Role Join our Manufacturing Engineering team to own the full terminal stamping lifecycle—from progressive die qualification through steady-state, high-speed production—to ensure precision, quality, and throughput on every run. This role focuses on developing, validating, and sustaining stamping processes for terminal and connector production while collaborating across design, quality, and production functions during new product introductions. What You'll Do
- Develop, optimize, and validate stamping processes for terminal and contact production, balancing press speed, quality, and material yield
- Evaluate progressive die designs for manufacturability and partner with toolmakers on die builds, modifications, and repairs
- Troubleshoot process- and die-related defects on the production floor (burrs, camber, dimensional drift), driving root cause analysis and corrective actions
- Lead die sampling, first-article inspection, and process/tool qualification for new and revised programs
- Run DOEs to establish robust process windows and reduce variation across presses, shifts, and material lots
- Plan and oversee preventive maintenance schedules for progressive dies to maximize tool life and minimize unplanned downtime
- Collaborate with product design, quality, and production teams during new product introduction (NPI)
- Maintain process and tooling documentation, including work instructions, FMEA, SOSS and die maintenance records What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Tool & Die, or related engineering field
- 3+ years of experience in metal stamping process engineering, die engineering, or a combined role
- Working knowledge of progressive die construction and high-speed stamping principles
- Experience with process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) and die qualification activities
- Proficiency with CAD software for die/part review (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar) Nice to Have
- Proficiency with Siemens NX software
- Hands-on die-building or die-maintenance experience (grinding, EDM, wire EDM)
- Familiarity with metal stamping simulation software (e.g., AutoForm, Dynaform)
- Experience with precision terminal/connector stamping in electronics or automotive
- Background in high-speed press operation and progressive die design principles
- Six Sigma or lean manufacturing certification Compensation & Benefits
- Compensation range is not disclosed in the posting; any offered amount will be determined by market data and the candidate's knowledge, skills, abilities, and geographic location.
- Additional benefits and perks are not listed in the posting.
