Job Description
Role Summary
The Die Design Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing dies and related tooling used in the metal forming and manufacturing processes. This vital role supports production efficiency, precision, and product quality for metal components—especially sheet metal and stamped products—in a fast-paced, innovative industrial environment.
Key Responsibilities
Design & Development
Create and develop dies for sheet metal parts and components, such as those used in door lockers and other fabricated products.
Generate detailed 2D and 3D CAD models and technical drawings using AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or other CAD/CAM software.
Prepare and update bills of materials (BOM), shop drawings, and required documentation for die production.
Modify and refine existing die designs to improve manufacturability, performance, and cost-effectiveness based on production feedback or customer requirements.
Collaboration & Support
Work closely with production, maintenance, and quality teams to ensure designs are feasible, safe, and compliant with company and industry standards.
Participate in design reviews and support prototyping and testing phases.
Provide real-time technical assistance during manufacturing and troubleshoot design- or process-related issues on the shop floor.
Optimization & Standards
Conduct simulations, analyses, and performance testing to optimize designs for durability, accuracy, and cost.
Ensure all designs adhere to relevant quality, industry, and regulatory standards.
Continuous Improvement
Stay up to date with advancements in die design technology and CAD/CAM methodologies.
Suggest and implement best practices, cost reductions, and efficiency-improving modifications.
Job Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related discipline.
5+ years of experience designing dies and related tooling for the metal industries, ideally with sheet metal forming/stamping.
Demonstrated proficiency with 2D and 3D CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks).
Strong knowledge of sheet metal fabrication methods (cutting, forming, assembly).
Analytical problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
Ability to manage multiple projects and meet production timelines.
Excellent communication, teamwork, and documentation skills.
Preferred Skills
Experience with design simulations (FEA) and process optimization.
Familiarity with manufacturing standards relevant to the Egyptian and international metal industries.
Ability to provide technical training and support to production staff.
