• Cooperate with tooling and injection teams to optimize tool design alongside product design.
• Prepare specifications for checking fixtures and validate related 2D drawings.
• Analyse and implement design changes to meet customer or manufacturing requirements.
• Report project progress, timing plans, and design review actions to the Engineering Project Manager (EPM).
