Job description

Die Maker (Steel Rule / Laser Die) - Sharples Die

Location: North Attleboro (Massachusetts) | Department: Operations | Reports to: Plant Manager | Status: Hourly (non-exempt)

Sharples Die is a long-established die shop known for high-quality steel rule and laser die solutions, serving customers across packaging, thermoforming, and specialty industrial applications. We build tooling using modern processes like CNC rule bending, water-jet cutting, and lasers-while still valuing the craftsmanship that separates "good" dies from great ones.

If you're a die maker who takes pride in precision, tight tolerance work, and problem-solving in a fast-moving environment, we want to talk.

What you'll do

  • Build, assemble, and repair steel rule cutting dies, stripping fixtures, and related tooling to customer/job specs

  • Cut, bend, notch, and fit rule using automated and manual equipment (Serviform, EasyBender, or equivalent)

  • Insert, grind, and secure rule into die boards for proper fit, alignment, and cutting tolerance

  • Read and interpret CAD drawings, blueprints, and job tickets with strong accuracy

  • Rubber dies and support rubbering/blanking/stripping processes as needed

  • Modify and revise existing dies when specs change or rework is required

  • Inspect and verify quality (dimensions, tolerance, craftsmanship) and correct non-conformances

  • Perform basic preventative maintenance (cleaning, adjustments, minor repairs) on die-making equipment

  • Use computer systems for job tracking, data entry, and time recording (ERP systems such as CyFrame/4D or similar)

  • Maintain a clean, organized, safe work area and collaborate with CAD/production to resolve questions quickly

What we're looking for

Required

  • High school diploma or equivalent

  • Strong mechanical aptitude and craftsmanship with high attention to detail

  • Ability to read/interpret prints and CAD-driven job documentation

  • Comfortable using hand tools and shop equipment for die build and repair

  • Basic computer skills (job tracking, time entry, production systems)

  • Ability to work independently, manage priorities, and communicate clearly with the team

Preferred

  • 1–3 years of experience in steel rule die making, die cutting, or related converting/manufacturing

  • Familiarity with packaging, printing, converting, carton converting, thermoforming, or specialty tooling environments

  • Experience with rubbering, blanking, stripping, and tooling revisions

  • Experience on CNC rule bending / automated benders and related tooling processes

Physical & work environment

  • Stand on concrete flooring for extended periods

  • Frequent bending/stooping; repetitive hand/arm motions using tools

  • Lift up to 65 lbs (over 65 lbs with assistance)

  • Manufacturing environment with moderate-to-high noise and airborne dust; PPE required

Why Sharples

  • A company known for steel rule dies and related tooling, with a reputation built on customer commitment and craftsmanship

  • Work alongside a team using modern die-making technology (CNC bending, water-jet cutting, and lasers)

  • Benefits include competitive wages, health & dental insurance, 401(k), paid holidays, vacation, bonuses, and development opportunities

Sharples Die is an equal opportunity employer.
