• Creates technical drawing and specifications for NPD projects
• Maintains and updates technical drawings throughout the development lifecycle.
• Supports Innovation & Design and Manufacturing teams with drawing revisions and specification changes.
• Ensures drawing standards and revision control requirements are maintained.
• Create 3D models, technical drawings and associated computergenerated images/renders to communicate intent.
• Generate geometry, files and technical information needed for analysis/validation and downstream manufacture.
• Ensure designs meet budget, production methods, client specifications, tolerance stacks and Orora Glass & Saverglass capabilities.
• Conduct studies and develop designs for items and tools using CAD/CAM software.
• Take charge of the design and production of complex product and tooling plans; modify tooling plans as required.
• Improves mould design in response to quality feedback from production trials and manufacturing performance
• Liaises with French mould design and development office, design teams and other internal and external stakeholders to ensure consistent process and best mould design practises are being used
• Provide design engineering support throughout the mould manufacturing process to external partners.
• Create, source and coordinate prototypes/mockups for tenders and customer presentations.
