Senior / Process Engineer (Terminal Stamping)

Our Team

You'll join our Manufacturing Engineering team, owning the full terminal stamping lifecycle — from progressive die qualification through steady-state, high-speed production — to ensure precision, quality, and throughput on every run.

What You Will Do

• Develop, optimize, and validate stamping processes for terminal and contact production, balancing press speed, quality, and material yield
• Evaluate progressive die designs for manufacturability and partner with toolmakers on die builds, modifications, and repairs
• Troubleshoot process- and die-related defects on the production floor (burrs, camber, dimensional drift), driving root cause analysis and corrective actions
• Lead die sampling, first-article inspection, and process/tool qualification for new and revised programs
• Run DOEs to establish robust process windows and reduce variation across presses, shifts, and material lots
• Plan and oversee preventive maintenance schedules for progressive dies to maximize tool life and minimize unplanned downtime
• Collaborate with product design, quality, and production teams during new product introduction (NPI)
• Maintain process and tooling documentation, including work instructions, FMEA, SOSS and die maintenance records
  
  

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Tool & Die, or related engineering field
• 3+ years of experience in metal stamping process engineering, die engineering, or a combined role
• Working knowledge of progressive die construction and high-speed stamping principles
• Experience with process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) and die qualification activities
• Proficiency with CAD software for die/part review (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar)
  
  

What Will Put You Ahead

• Proficiency with Siemens NX software
• Hands-on die-building or die-maintenance experience (grinding, EDM, wire EDM)
• Familiarity with metal stamping simulation software (e.g., AutoForm, Dynaform)
• Experience with precision terminal/connector stamping in electronics or automotive
• Background in high-speed press operation and progressive die design principles
• Six Sigma or lean manufacturing certification
