About The Position

Nissha Medical Technologies’ New Richmond, Wisconsin site is the Isometric Micro Molding Center of Excellence, supporting precision medical-device manufacturing through expertise in micro molding, precision tooling, and micro automated assembly. The role designs molds, fixtures, and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) concepts, works closely with manufacturing teams, and completes design documentation. Two levels are described: Mold Design Engineer I and Mold Design Engineer II. Level I performs tooling design with guidance; Level II works with minimal supervision, can lead customer mold design reviews, recommends CAD library improvements, and troubleshoots mold-function issues. Both levels primarily create 3D solid-model tooling designs using Pro Engineer, produce outsourcing drawings and bar assemblies, determine steel sizes for mold components, develop mold concepts for quoting and project planning, and provide component details to manufacturing. The engineers collaborate with manufacturing departments, complete work to meet project and customer timelines, and maintain required design documentation, including job notes, bills of materials, and design checklists. They must follow company quality standards and procedures and protect confidential and proprietary information.
