Troy Design & Manufacturing
Job Description
Are you a precision-driven professional who enjoys the challenge of both building and troubleshooting? We are looking for a skilled
Tool & Die Technician
to join our manufacturing team. This dual-function role offers the opportunity to bridge the gap between high-level Tool Making and critical Die Repair, ensuring our production lines run at peak performance. \n The Role at a Glance:
As a Tool & Die Technician, you will be the backbone of our production quality. You will spend your time fabricating precision components from scratch and diagnosing complex stamping-die issues. \n \n
Key Responsibilities:
Precision Tool Making \n \n Fabrication: Use manual and CNC equipment (mills, lathes, grinders, EDM) to create new tools, jigs, fixtures, and gauges. \n Technical Execution: Manufacture parts to exact blueprint or CAD specs, maintaining tight tolerances and superior finishes. \n Collaboration: Partner with Engineering to design or improve tooling for new product launches. \n Quality Control: Inspect all work using precision instruments like micrometers and height gauges. \n Expert Die Repair \n Troubleshooting: Diagnose and repair progressive, transfer, and line stamping dies during active production. \n Maintenance: Perform teardowns, sharpening, and preventative maintenance to minimize downtime. \n Corrective Action: Identify root causes of quality issues and adjust components (punches, die buttons, strippers) for optimal performance. \n Documentation: Maintain meticulous records of builds, revisions, and maintenance cycles. \n \n
What You Bring to the Table \n \n Experience: 2+ years in tool making or die repair within a manufacturing environment. \n Technical Skillset: Strong grasp of tool steel properties, heat treatment, and precision assembly. \n Machining Prowess: Proficiency with manual/CNC equipment and GD&T blueprint reading. \n Specialized Techniques: Experience in TIG/Arc/Laser welding for surface repair and the ability to hand-finish complex geometries
(grinding/polishing). \n Education: High School Diploma or GED; a Technical Certificate or Apprenticeship is highly preferred. \n Physical Requirements & Availability: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stand/walk for the duration of a shift. \n \n Shift Flexibility: Candidates must be open to various schedules, including: Weekday shifts (Morning, Afternoon, or Night – 8 hours). Weekend shifts (12 hours). Occasional overtime to meet production demands. \n
