Tool Designer

V-ZUG Tool Design ###

Tool design at V-ZUG is where ideas are transformed into precise, robust, and economical means of production. With punching and bending tools, fixtures, as well as assembly and testing gauges, we create the foundation for ensuring that high-quality appliances can be manufactured efficiently, stably, and in the required quality. What is developed here has a direct impact on our production - from the initial commissioning through to series production and the continuous further development of existing processes. Our team in tool design combines technical understanding with design precision, high individual responsibility, and the ambition to not only develop means of production but to actively support and further develop them throughout their entire life cycle.

What this position offers you ###

• You develop and design new means of production for our production, from conception to commissioning
• You accompany means of production throughout the entire process, from manufacture or procurement to use in series production
• You take on sub-project management for externally procured tools and coordinate suppliers regarding deadlines, quality, and technical requirements
• You create and maintain technical documentation, bills of materials, work plans, as well as master data for spare and wear parts
• You are responsible for technical changes to existing means of production and coordinate their implementation with internal and external partners
• You support manufacturing during commissioning, analyze malfunctions, and develop measures to improve process and manufacturing stability
• You actively contribute to the optimization and digitalization of processes, systems, and working methods, especially in the areas of CAD/CAM, SAP, and digitalization

• You have sound knowledge of CAD systems, especially CATIA and ENOVIA, and work confidently with bills of materials, work plans, and technical documentation
• You know the requirements for functional, economical, and manufacturable means of production and understand technical correlations in the manufacturing process
• You have good user knowledge in SAP as well as MS Office and are familiar with relevant norms and standards, especially DIN and ISO
• You approach technical questions in a structured and solution-oriented manner, set priorities clearly, and consistently bring topics into implementation
• You communicate clearly and bindingly with internal specialist departments as well as external partners. Very good German skills as well as good English skills are required
