Responsibilities
- Coordinate all tooling activity from solicitation through shipment — quotation, build planning, procurement, machining, fitting, tryout, inspection, and release.
- Develop detailed tooling quotations and build plans; validate estimated hours, materials, and outside services against actuals and close the loop on variance.
- Maintain the master build schedule; assign work by skill and priority; report status, risk, and recovery plans to the Tooling Manager on a defined cadence.

- Review all new tool construction and rework for conformance to the Chromalloy tooling manual, functionality, producibility, and safety.
- Update CAD models in NX to resolve producibility issues; maintain configuration control and revision discipline.
- Interpret blueprints, GD&T, CAD models, and ATOS scan data to drive die targeting, dimensional correction, and mismatch resolution.
- Partner with customer plants and process engineering so tools release to the floor immediately on receipt — no fitting loop, no turnback.
