A tool designer works in a machine shop or factory using a variety of methods to conceptualize and construct forms referred to as dies. In this role, you may work with blueprints or computer software such as CAD to create products and equipment according to customer specifications. Your responsibilities include the manufacturing of fixtures, molds, and jigs for die casting or molding other materials. Your duties also involve complying with the company’s safety policies and any regulations that may apply when using the equipment. The nature of this job is hazardous, making the use of protective gear imperative.
| Aspect | Tool Designer | Machinist |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Technical degree or certification in manufacturing or engineering | High school diploma or equivalent; technical training often preferred |
| Work Environment | Design offices, CAD software, collaborative teams | Machine shops, manufacturing floors, workshop settings |
