About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Mold CAE Application Engineer to join our team at Molex. As a key member of our connector product development process, you will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to drive design for manufacturability, high-performing injection molds, and elevate the efficiency of molding production operations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Deliver expert guidance on plastic molding behaviors to enhance product manufacturability, mold performance, and molding production efficiency for cross-functional product development teams.
  • Engage with Product Design Engineers during preliminary design phases to provide DFM insights and proactively address manufacturability issues and optimize product manufacturability prior to OK-to-Tool.
  • Partner with mold tooling engineers to craft and authenticate tooling strategies, ensuring optimal runner/gate/cooling designs, and refining mold tooling plans.
  • Optimize molding process parameters in conjunction with process engineers.
  • Leverage molding simulation tools to boost production operational efficiency, targeting cycle time reduction, material usage minimization, defect reduction, and PM frequency decrease.
  • Collect and evaluate data on molding behavior and part performance for predicted versus actual comparison studies.
  • Execute additional duties as directed by management.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Polymer Engineering; Master's degree preferred.
  • Proven background in creating molding simulation models, specifically for connector products, utilizing software such as Moldflow, Moldex3D, HyperMesh, and CAD systems like NX.
  • Proficiency in conducting Flow, Pack, Cool, and Warp analyses with simulation software like Moldex3D or Moldflow.
  • Expertise in interpreting simulation results, diagnosing potential issues in molding and product performance, and suggesting solutions and risk mitigation for product design, tooling, and processing.
  • Effective communication capabilities, adept at generating simulation project reports, leading simulation review sessions, and spearheading cross-functional problem-solving discussions.

What Will Put You Ahead

  • Autodesk Moldflow Associate or Professional Certification is favorable.
  • Practical experience with connector or other electronic product design.
  • Hands-on expertise in mold design, injection molding processes, and injection molding press controls.
  • In-depth knowledge of plastic materials and their properties, including glass fiber-filled grades.
  • Familiarity with CT data analysis using Volume Graphics.
  • Experience with structural FEA tools like Abaqus or Ansys, and integrating them with molding simulation software.
