Design experience using 3D-CAD
Persons who can proactively think using a logical approach, independently identify solutions, and execute them
Bachelor's degree or higher in an engineering or science discipline, or possessing equivalent capabilities

Preferred Qualifications

5+ years of injection mold design experience
Mold design experience for optical components or precision parts
　- Lenses, prisms, connectors, mechanical components, etc.
Experience designing molds for complex structural molded parts
　- Insert molding, slide structures, multi-color molding, etc.
Knowledge of simulation techniques such as structural analysis and thermal-fluid analysis
Knowledge of manufacturing processes for mold components
Experience developing technologies from scratch, or the ability to do so
Ability to communicate technical matters in English (Email, meetings, face-to-face)
