What is a fixture design engineer?

A Fixture Design Engineer is a professional who specializes in designing and developing fixtures used in manufacturing processes. These fixtures are custom tools or devices that hold, support, or position components during various operations such as machining, assembly, or testing. The goal is to improve efficiency, accuracy, and safety in production. Fixture Design Engineers work closely with manufacturing teams to ensure that fixtures meet specific requirements and are compatible with production equipment. They use CAD software and engineering principles to create detailed designs and oversee prototype development and testing.
