- Serve as the Tooling Engineer responsible for engineered tooling and fixtures across their full lifecycle
- Track and maintain the tooling and fixture inventory, including identification, status, location, and configuration control
- Conduct surveillance of tooling and fixtures, including periodic verification, condition monitoring, and calibration/requalification scheduling
- Manage the controlled release of engineered tooling and fixtures to production, ensuring validation and documentation are complete before use
- Maintain tooling and fixture documentation, revision history, and records in accordance with quality and configuration-management requirements
- Coordinate design, procurement, build, and rework of tooling and fixtures with Engineering, R&D, and suppliers
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Quality, Engineering, R&D, and Production to resolve dimensional and tooling issues
- Ensure compliance with internal quality procedures, metrology standards, and tooling control requirements
- Drive continuous improvement in inspection programming, measurement accuracy, and tooling reliability
