The qualified individual will be dealing with steel drawing, forming and stamping. The candidate would need to have some exposure to steel types such as draw quality, high strength, hot rolled, cold rolled. They do some casting/sintering parts but experience is not required.
Cam software experience would be helpful but not mandatory. We use a software called Bobcad for our wire edms and cnc mills.
We have a full tool supporting department that does the daily tool maintenance and supports tool changes.
