Job Details
We are seeking an experienced Tool & Die Maker with a strong background in precision machining, tooling, and metal forming applications. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys solving problems at the bench and machine, working from prints, and taking tooling projects from concept or repair through successful production.
The Tool & Die Maker will manufacture, modify, troubleshoot, and maintain dies, fixtures, and specialized tooling used primarily in prototype and lower-volume production. You'll work independently on milling and grinding equipment while partnering with engineering and production personnel to resolve tooling challenges and improve manufacturability.
What you'll be doing:
Build, modify, repair, and maintain dies, fixtures, and custom production tooling
Machine precision tooling components using mills, surface grinders, and other conventional shop equipment
Support tooling used with punch presses, kick presses, four-slide equipment, and similar metal-forming machinery
Perform close-tolerance grinding and finishing operations
Troubleshoot tooling failures, dimensional concerns, and production issues
Make adjustments and repairs necessary to return tooling to proper operation
Read and work from blueprints, technical drawings, specifications, and GD&T
Verify dimensions and tolerances using micrometers, calipers, height gauges, comparators, and other precision inspection tools
Partner with Engineering and Production to develop practical tooling solutions and improve existing designs
Document tooling repairs, modifications, and improvements
Maintain a safe, organized, and quality-focused work environment
What we're looking for:
High school diploma or GED required
Tool & Die apprenticeship, technical training, or comparable hands-on experience preferred
Approximately 5+ years of Tool & Die experience preferred
Experience supporting prototype and short-run manufacturing
Strong milling and surface grinding capabilities
Experience with punch press tooling, kick presses, and/or four-slide tooling is highly desirable
Solid understanding of machining, die construction, tooling principles, and metal-forming processes
Ability to interpret complex prints and GD&T requirements
Comfortable working to tight tolerances and inspecting completed work
Strong mechanical troubleshooting and problem-solving ability
Able to work independently while collaborating effectively with engineering and production teams
If you're a hands-on Tool & Die Maker who enjoys solving difficult tooling problems and takes pride in precision work, I'd love to connect.
