About The Position

Tuuci is seeking an experienced Sr. DFM and GD&T Lead to ensure products transition from engineering design into accurate, manufacturable, production-ready documentation. This role owns production 3D models, cut lists, and exploded assembly documents; leads DFM/DFA reviews; validates GD&T and tolerance stack-ups; owns DFMEA; and serves as the primary liaison between Tuuci’s U.S. engineering team and the Tuuci Asia Engineering team. This role is critical to translating design engineering intent into documentation the factory can build right the first time. The ideal candidate combines deep GD&T expertise, strong DFM discipline, and the ability to drive documentation quality, standardization, and cross-functional alignment.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field; equivalent experience considered
12–20+ years of mechanical design experience in high-mix manufacturing environments with significant drawing and documentation responsibility
Expert ASME Y14.5 GD&T capability, including datum strategy, geometric tolerancing, and tolerance stack-up analysis for complex assemblies
Advanced SolidWorks proficiency including configurations, design tables, parametric modeling, large assemblies, and drawing package management
Strong DFM/DFA background spanning CNC machining, fabrication, finishing/coating, and assembly
Demonstrated experience conducting DFMEA reviews and driving actionable design improvements from FMEA outputs
Experience managing remote or offshore engineering teams and maintaining quality standards across time zones
Proven ability to improve documentation quality and completeness under schedule pressure without creating bottlenecks
Strong cross-functional collaboration with product design, machining, fabrication, assembly, quality, and supply chain teams
Practical understanding of how drawings and models translate into real manufacturing operations

Nice To Haves

Experience with configurable products, modular platforms, and high-variant product structures preferred
Familiarity with metrology and inspection planning tied to GD&T preferred

Responsibilities

Own all production 3D models across Tuuci product families, ensuring accuracy, completeness, configurability, and revision control
Create and maintain exploded assembly documents and cut lists that clearly support production, service, and technical documentation needs
Establish and enforce 3D modeling standards, configuration rules, design table structure, and file management practices for high-variant products
Lead formal DFM/DFA reviews for new products and significant engineering changes, evaluating manufacturability, assembly efficiency, materials, finishes, and cost drivers
Validate GD&T across production drawings, ensuring datum schemes, tolerances, and inspection methods align with manufacturing capability
Perform tolerance stack-up analysis for critical assemblies and drive design corrections before release to production
Establish gold-standard drawing practices aligned with ASME Y14.5, including inspection-ready callouts and consistent datum strategy
Own all DFMEA reviews, maintain DFMEA documents throughout the product lifecycle, and drive design-risk mitigations to closure
Serve as the primary liaison with the Tuuci Asia Engineering team, assigning work, reviewing deliverables, and approving documentation before release
Own DFM, and Manufacturing Transition activities, ensuring all documentation, DFM review outputs, GD&T validation, and DFMEA actions are complete for Production Readiness
Drive part standardization across product families to reduce complexity and improve manufacturing consistency
Coach engineers through drawing reviews, stack-up analysis, and DFM/GD&T best practices using real product examples
Communicate technical requirements clearly across U.S. engineering, Tuuci Asia, quality, and manufacturing teams
