What is a cold forming tool design engineer?

A Cold Forming Tool Design Engineer is responsible for designing and developing tooling used in the cold forming process, which shapes metal without heating. They create detailed engineering drawings, select suitable materials, and optimize tool performance to improve production efficiency and product quality. This role requires knowledge of manufacturing processes, CAD software, and material properties. Engineers often collaborate with production teams, suppliers, and quality control to ensure tooling meets design specifications and industry standards.

What are some common challenges faced by cold forming tool design engineers in their daily work?

Cold Forming Tool Design Engineers often encounter challenges such as optimizing designs for manufacturability, ensuring tool durability under high-stress forming conditions, and balancing tight project timelines with rigorous quality standards. They must frequently troubleshoot and refine tool designs based on feedback from production teams or unexpected issues that arise during trial runs. Collaboration with cross-functional teams—including production, quality, and maintenance staff—is essential to resolve issues quickly and keep projects moving forward. This dynamic environment helps engineers build a versatile skill set and gain valuable experience in both technical and practical aspects of manufacturing.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the cold forming tool design engineer position, and why are they important?

To excel as a Cold Forming Tool Design Engineer, you need a solid background in mechanical engineering, experience with cold forming processes, and strong skills in CAD software. Familiarity with simulation tools such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and finite element analysis (FEA) platforms, as well as relevant certifications or exposure to manufacturing environments, is commonly required. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for this role. These competencies ensure precise, efficient tool designs, successful project collaboration, and consistent production quality in a demanding manufacturing setting.

About the Role
We are looking for Design Engineers to join our team in Gore Medical.
In this role, you will design new medical products or support existing products with a diverse, cross-functional team of Gore associates and external partners. As an integral contributor to the success of Gore's product portfolio, this position will involve interactions with a variety of disciplines across Gore Medical.
Diversity is a core value at Gore. We are passionate about building and sustaining an inclusive and equitable work environment for all Associates. We believe every member of our team enriches our work environment by exposing us to a broad range of perspectives to understand and engage with our customers, suppliers, and each other.
These positions will be located at our facilities in Phoenix or Flagstaff, Arizona.
Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and commercialize innovative medical devices and accessories, leveraging new and existing technologies, while incorporating Design for Manufacture and Assembly principles (DFMA). Drive and participate in structured design reviews and act as a formal technical reviewer within the Quality System where appropriate.
  • Work as a new product development core team member to generate design concepts and develop them into detailed product designs that meet Design Input Requirements and stakeholder needs, scoping design work in collaboration with cross-functional partners and driving risk reduction efforts to deliver on project priorities and timelines.
  • Drive and document design development efforts using good engineering practices (e.g. research, design and execution of experiments, tolerance analysis, etc.) within a quality system, including incorporating existing industry and regulatory standards (e.g. ISO 10993, 21 CFR Part 820, ASME Y14.5) into design requirements, contributing to the standardization of best practices, templates, and design engineering tools within the function.
  • Document designs and concepts for patent or trade secret protection, collaborating with legal/IP functions to submit invention disclosures when appropriate.
  • Maintain and grow expertise in core design skills (e.g., CAD, GD&T, tolerance analysis, FEA), pursue relevant certifications (e.g., CSWP, ASME GDTP, CAM-F) and develop an understanding of medical device core material sets and manufacturing methods (e.g., forming, additive, and subtractive manufacturing)
  • Deliver design packages which include specifications, tolerance analyses, CAD models, material sets, summaries of the performance, and analyses, data, and rationales supporting the design choices.
  • Represent the technical needs of the device design and inspection requirements to suppliers.
  • Support commercial product lines through technology transfers, design changes, specification updates and improvements, and input on CAPAs, NCRs, or other areas where the design may be impacted.
  • Apply structured problem-solving techniques to determine root cause for non-conforming products and design issues (e.g., raw materials, components, assemblies, and systems).
  • Develop and maintain a fundamental understanding of the portfolio of Gore device designs, capabilities, materials, and manufacturing methods to incorporate best practices and support standardization.

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Science discipline (e.g., Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Physics, etc.) with 4 years of design experience, or Master's degree in Engineering with 2 years of design experience
  • Proficiency with CAD software (e.g., Solidworks, CREO, etc.)
  • Experience with R&D development cycles and participating in technical design reviews, either providing technical input or incorporating feedback on design outputs
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills with both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Demonstrated ability to apply engineering evaluation methods, such as tolerance analyses, material assessments, and performance testing, that inform design direction
  • Demonstrated experience developing and documenting product specifications in compliance with ASME standards and applicable quality system requirements, including the application of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
  • Demonstrated ability to complete projects per quality system requirements that balance customer service, fitness for use, manufacturability, and time to market
  • Experience with data-driven decision making and structured problem-solving techniques to determine root cause and identify countermeasures
  • Demonstrated ability to foster an inclusive environment that engages and empowers fellow Associates
  • Ability to travel up to 10%

Desired Qualifications
  • Software skills (e.g. Solidworks CSWA or CSWP, ABAQUS, Python, Rhino, Grasshopper, Simpleware, JMP statistical analysis)
  • Experience with nitinol stent design, catheter design, injection molded component design, prototyping, manufacturing, and/or testing
  • Ability and willingness to learn new technical skills and apply them to product development activities with significant technical uncertainties and tight timelines
