Mechanical Designer

SENIOR MOULD DESIGNER (DESIGNER – LEVEL 3)

Engineering | Automotive Tooling | On-site, Ontario

A leading Tier 1 automotive tooling manufacturer is looking for an

advanced Mould Designer to join its Engineering team. If you live and

breathe complex tool design and want to work on high-visibility exterior

tooling programs for a global customer base, this is your seat.

In this role you'll design moulds, fixtures and components from part

drawings, math data or verbal specs, including complex, non-routine

work — using advanced CAD. You'll own single-tool projects, mentor

junior designers, and have a real voice in how tools get built.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design fascia tooling (hidden parting line and conventional) and trim tooling — rockers, claddings, wheel flares and more
• Own single-tool design projects end to end
• Design water, boring mill and 3D contour features, collaborating across disciplines so design-for-manufacture is always considered
• Run part feasibility studies on upcoming programs — cooling, steel condition, proper draft, the works
• Review tool designs from external partners and give the feedback that keeps quality where it needs to be
• Partner with estimating and program managers on new tooling and engineering-change quotes
• Manage engineering changes — preparing and issuing files internally and to outside partners
• Lead and document internal and external design reviews
• Mentor Trainee, Level 1 and Level 2 designers to grow the whole team
• Benchmark new tooling and equipment and provide sharp, timely feedback
• Work cross-functionally with Design, Machining, Build, Scheduling and Management to hit program timing
• Support Continuous Improvement, lean manufacturing and ISO-9001 quality systems
• Travel occasionally for benchmarking, investigation or training

WHAT YOU BRING

• Completion of the Designer Level 2 training matrix (or equivalent advanced tool-design experience)
• Strong working knowledge of Siemens NX Mold Wizard across all facets of tool design
• Strong mathematical and mechanical aptitude
• A strategic problem-solver who stays sharp under pressure
• Solid communication skills, written and verbal
• Comfort with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel)
• Grade 12 diploma required; a college diploma or degree in a relevant technical field (or equivalent experience) is an asset

WHO THRIVES HERE

• Self-motivated team players with a positive, service-oriented mindset
• Designers who take pride in their work and want to keep leveling up
• People who collaborate well and lift the team around them

This is a hands-on role with real ownership, strong mentorship, and the

kind of complex tooling work that keeps the job interesting. If that

sounds like you, we'd like to talk.
