Position Role Type:

Unspecified

At Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, we're redefining aerospace through innovation, collaboration, and advanced engineering.

As a Senior Design Engineer, Tooling, you'll design manufacturing tooling that enables the production of high-quality aerospace components while improving safety, ergonomics, efficiency, and operational performance.

If you enjoy solving complex engineering challenges, collaborating across functions, and developing innovative tooling solutions that make a measurable impact on manufacturing, we'd love to have you on our team.

What You Will Do 

• Design and develop manufacturing tools that support safe, ergonomic, high-quality, and efficient production in accordance with Tool Design Manuals and aerospace industry best practices.

• Develop detailed 3D models and engineering drawings using CATIA V5 to support composite layup, sheet metal fabrication, machining, and mechanical assembly manufacturing processes.

• Partner with Manufacturing, Operations, Quality, and Engineering teams to deliver tooling solutions that support production requirements and ensure compliance with engineering and quality standards.

• Investigate tooling and manufacturing issues by participating in Root Cause & Corrective Action (RCCA) activities and implementing effective corrective actions.

• Drive continuous improvement by analyzing manufacturing challenges, developing innovative tooling solutions, and optimizing product quality, productivity, and operational performance.

Qualifications You Must Have 

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience unless prohibited by local laws/regulations.

• Advanced proficiency using CATIA V5 to create detailed 3D models, assemblies, and engineering drawings for manufacturing tooling.

• Experience designing tooling for composite layup, sheet metal fabrication, machining, and mechanical assembly manufacturing processes.

• Working knowledge of GD&T, engineering drawing interpretation, material properties, and standard hardware selection for tooling applications.

• Professional proficiency in written and spoken English with the ability to collaborate across cross-functional teams and support Root Cause & Corrective Action (RCCA) activities.

Qualifications We Prefer 

• Knowledge of aerospace Tool Design Manuals and tooling design best practices.

• Experience supporting aerospace manufacturing or production environments.

• Demonstrated experience leading continuous improvement initiatives focused on safety, quality, and productivity.

• Familiarity with Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles and manufacturing process optimization.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications.
