## Description

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
 TOOLING DESIGNER, HIGH PRESSURE DIE CASTING 
 SpaceX is seeking a Tooling Designer for High Pressure Die Casting, to own the design and development of die casting tools and trim dies used to produce casted components. This role is critical to scaling reliable, high-performance components. You will design complex tooling that must repeatedly deliver extremely tight tolerances and reliable performance while supporting aggressive rate and cost targets. 
 As a member of the materials team, you will work closely with materials, casting, and manufacturing engineers to develop tooling solutions from concept through production qualification. Your designs will directly impact casting yield, dimensional stability, and the overall manufacturability of mission-critical hardware.  
 RESPONSIBILITIES :  
• Design high-precision die casting tooling and trim dies to be manufactured and used in-house  
• Interpret and enable casting simulations and apply first-principles analysis to optimize gating, venting, cooling, and warp compensation  
• Account for shrinkage, warpage, and solidification to consistently meet stringent dimensional and metallurgical requirements  
• Own tooling designs from concept through tryout, qualification, and production release  
• Collaborate closely casting engineers, materials scienti
