Job Description Summary

The Rapid Tooling Specialist will demonstrate comprehensive machining techniques to facilitate in-house rapid prototyping tooling, ensuring responses within 24 hours. This involves using in-house printed tooling for final tooling and assembling mold components for prototype part sampling. The candidate must utilize CAD model tooling data to expedite in-house machining techniques, resorting to secondary prints only when necessary. This approach enables rapid machining for our BD Partners, accelerating the delivery of new concept prototype molded parts.

The specialist will provide guidance and technical assistance, maintain and record historical tooling models, and process documentation using SolidWorks, Space Claim, MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, OneNote, Copilot, and Outlook. They must be adept at problem-solving and self-guided in using correct mold techniques. The specialist will apply appropriate injection molding and machining applications to meet the rapid tooling needs of our BD Partners.
Responsibilities include developing accurate final tooling stack heights for mold assembly and performing subtractive machining practices using all shop equipment, such as lathes, grinders, mills, CNC machines, and precision measuring tools. The specialist will also handle material preparation, auxiliary molding equipment, and initial mold start-up for sampling rapid prototype molds. They must understand mold debugging for corrective actions before, during, and after part sampling.

The specialist will develop a thorough knowledge of BD engineering-grade resins and their properties and collaborate with outside suppliers, mold engineers, engineering personnel, and BD Partners as required. They must notify appropriate personnel of necessary maintenance for molding and machining shop (TTL) equipment, maintain a clean and safe workspace, and troubleshoot equipment failures.

Job Summary:
BD is excited to introduce the role of a Rapid Tooling Mold Specialist, a crucial individual in BD’s fast-paced, expanding digital environment. As a team member of our 3DPnP Prototyping Team the rapid tooling specialist will use subtractive machining processes to successfully machine-printed tooling to the final mold dimensions while assembling components for the injection mold. The specialist will use in-house CNC equipment, conventional machining equipment, and CAD model software to rapidly machine final precision tooling solutions. Knowledge of assembly machines, tooling, injection molding, blow molding, die tooling, 3D printing, mold design, and molding press operation is highly advantageous. One’s knowledge and background will allow the candidate to transition seamlessly into producing high-quality tooling and mold components needed for prototyping. The rapid tooling specialist's work is fundamental in developing next-generation medical products that significantly impact the BD product portfolio through innovative tooling techniques. The rapid tooling specialist will take direction from the 3DPnP Injection Molding Manager for project-specific priorities regarding mold/ tooling functions while independently working in the TTL in-house prototyping machine shop. The candidate is expected to adapt to the rapid dynamics of the 3DPnP prototyping tooling environment and contribute to the team's efforts to meet the rapid prototyping needs efficiently and with expertise excellence.

Responsibilities:

• The rapid tooling specialist will demonstrate full machining techniques to facilitate rapid prototyping tooling in-house for rapid responses within 24 hours. This will be accomplished using in-house printed tooling for the final tooling and assembling mold components for mold prototype part sampling.

• The candidate must utilize CAD model tooling data to understand and expedite in-house machining techniques, resorting to secondary prints only when necessary. This allows for in-house rapid machining for our BD Partners to expedite new concepts to deliverable prototype molded parts.
