Verantwortlichkeiten: JOB SUMMARY: The Tool Engineer at Magna Engineered Glass is responsible for leading the technical development, procurement, validation, and continuous improvement of tooling used in the manufacture of encapsulated glass automotive windows. This role ensures all tooling (prototype, soft-tool, and production) is designed, built, sampled, and approved in compliance with Magna, customer, regulatory, and safety standards. The position requires specialized expertise in injection molding of encapsulated glass, including mold design, material behavior, glass loading, adhesion performance, sealing, and overmold processes. The Tool Engineer collaborates with Product Engineering, Program Management, Supplier Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, and Tooling Suppliers (domestic and international) to ensure world class tool builds, robust manufacturability, and flawless launch execution. JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:` Tooling Development & Standards Maintain and apply corporate tooling standards for injection molded encapsulation tools. Identify, evaluate, and maintain qualified tooling suppliers with demonstrated capability in encapsulated glass molding, including vertical presses, robot assisted glass loading, and automated demold. Develop and validate new tooling processes including: Encapsulation overmold of automotive glass Dynamic pressure pad systems Magnetized bezel or stiffener insert molding Soft seal tooling and integrated glass fixturing systems Lead mold design reviews; verify parting lines, gating, runner systems (hot & cold), steel selection, shrink rates, cooling strategy, and texturing requirements. Ensure tool designs incorporate requirements for glass edge protection, dimensional stability, adhesion performance, and sealing surfaces. Maintain complete data retention: 2D/3D tool designs, CMM reports, process sheets, hot runner data, and material/manifold documentation. Manufacturability & Product Integration Evaluate new product quotes for feasibility of glass encapsulation molding, including: Glass edge tolerances and flatness Cross section design for seals, beads, and retention features Adhesion and overmold bonding requirements Gate location impact on flow induced stresses in glass and polymer Collaborate with Designers, Program Managers, Tooling Suppliers, and Project Engineers to ensure product design supports robust encapsulation manufacturability. Participate in product design reviews to confirm draft, shut offs, retention geometry, gaging datums, and warp/shrink predictions meet customer specifications. Tool Build Management & Launch Prepare, manage, and approve tooling quotes for encapsulation tools within the corporate system. Track tool builds through timing plans, supplier visits, milestone reviews, and PPAP readiness. Lead sampling and launch of new tools including: Glass loading validation Overmold sealing performance Adhesion / peel testing Tool debug for short shots, flash, sinks, voids, and stress marks Validate tooling and equipment through CMM layout, glass fixture verification, and encapsulation profile conformance. Oversee texture (grain) approvals and surface quality reviews. Define and release spare parts, preventive maintenance plans, and critical spare steel. Support packaging, racking, and gage design reviews. Analysis, Testing & Supplier Interaction Direct Mold Flow and CAE studies specific to encapsulated glass: Flow front around glass substrate Knit line and adhesion risk areas Cooling of non uniform wall sections Polymer stress transfer into glass edges Maintain material line cards including TPE, PVC, PC/ABS, TPU, and specialty encapsulation compounds. Support supplier tool builds, including on site assessments of mold design, machining quality, tryout equipment, and process capability. Support component and system testing including: Glass adhesion pull tests Weathering & UV durability Thermal cycling and expansion mismatch evaluation Troubleshoot issues for existing programs (e.g., de lamination, glass cracking, warp, dimension failures). Participate in formal supplier evaluations after project completion. Documentation & Reporting Document all technical decisions, tool modifications, sampling results, and validation activities. Maintain accurate, updated timing charts and project status for all assigned tools. Prepare cost reports, variance analyses, and support budgeting and forecast activities.
