We are seeking an experienced and skilled Manager, Tooling Engineering with a background in tooling design, fabrication, and manufacturing support. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading a team of tooling engineers to develop, implement, and optimize tooling solutions that ensure the highest quality and efficiency in production.

Manage tooling budgets, schedules, and resource allocation to meet program commitments
Establish and maintain tooling standards, best practices, and design guidelines
Participate in and lead continuous improvement initiatives and contribute to the development of organizational best practices
Provide design for manufacturability feedback with emphasis on tooling requirements and constraints
Design and implement process improvements to enhance tooling effectiveness, productivity, quality, and cost-efficiency
Manage relationships with external tooling suppliers and vendors
Ensure compliance with safety regulations and quality standards for all tooling operations

Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex tooling and manufacturing issues
