Engineer - Mold Flow Analyst

ROLES & RESPONSIBILITY:

• Perform filling, solidification, cooling, and stress simulations for HPDC parts and dies using software (MAGMASoft, ProCAST, FLOW-3D, etc.).

• Predict and analyze potential casting defects (porosity, shrinkage, cold shuts, air entrapment, soldering, hot spots, etc.) and provide corrective actions.

• Part Feasibility & Design for Manufacturability

• Review 3D part models for die-castability and suggest design modifications for manufacturability, defect prevention, and cost reduction.

• Work with Product Design & Customer teams during APQP / NPD stages for feasibility sign-offs.

• Collaborate with Tool Designers on gating, runner, overflow, and venting system layouts.

• Provide simulation-backed recommendations for die material selection, inserts, and design improvements.

• Work with Tool Room, Process Engineering, and Production teams for first-time-right tool trials.

• Support supplier/toolmaker technical reviews with simulation insights.

• Prepare detailed mold flow reports, design validation documents, and lessons learned.

• Develop checklists, simulation guidelines, and design standards for HPDC parts & tools.

REQUIRED SKILLS:

• Strong analytical & simulation interpretation skills.

• Effective communication & reporting skills for internal & customer interactions.

• Problem-solving & collaboration across functions (Design, Tooling, Production).

REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE:

• Software knowledge: MAGMASoft, FLOW-3D or equivalent.

• Sound knowledge of die casting process & die/tool design.

• Casting defects, root cause analysis, preventive design approach.

• Die design basics – gating, runner, venting, cooling circuits, ejector layout.
