Expert Silicon Mold Maker and CAD Designer Ended

We are seeking a highly skilled mold-making expert with significant, hands-on experience designing and working with silicone molds. While proficiency in CAD software (preferably Fusion 360) is essential, deep expertise in mold-making—including design, troubleshooting, and production—is the primary requirement.

You will need to design hard shells or mother molds from specific 3D models I will give you to be 3d printed, which will serve as the foundation for creating silicon molds in a cavity pour process.

What We’re Looking For:
-Mold-Making Expertise: Must have extensive, direct hands-on experience creating and designing silicone molds, particularly for complex forms. This includes:
-Knowledge of parting lines, undercuts, and mold release techniques.
-Experience designing molds for 3D printed hard shells.
-A deep understanding of silicone’s behavior, flow, and curing processes.
-CAD Skills: Ability to translate mold designs into precise, manufacturable 3D models using software such as Fusion 360 or SolidWorks.
-3D Printing Workflow Knowledge: Familiarity with creating models optimized for additive manufacturing and ensuring compatibility with 3D printers.
-Problem Solving: Strong skills in identifying and resolving mold-related challenges, from design to execution.

Requirements:
-Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in silicone mold-making.
-Portfolio showcasing completed silicone mold projects, particularly those involving 3D printed components.
-Proficiency in CAD software for mold design and hard shell creation.
-Ability to collaborate remotely with our team and iterate based on feedback.
-Excellent communication and organizational skills.

Preferred Skills:
-Advanced knowledge of Fusion 360 or SolidWorks.
-Experience with large-scale or highly detailed mold-making for art or design projects.
-Familiarity with material properties of silicones and casting processes.

What We Offer:
-Flexible, project-based work with competitive pay.
-The opportunity to contribute to unique, high-profile art and design projects for a globally recognized studio.
-Creative and technical challenges that push the boundaries of mold-making and design.

Important:
This role requires deep, hands-on mold-making expertise. If your primary background is in CAD without substantial experience in designing and working with silicone molds, please do not apply.

How to Apply:
1. Submit your portfolio showcasing relevant silicone mold projects, particularly those involving CAD and 3D printing.
2. Provide a brief explanation of your mold-making experience, highlighting projects that demonstrate your expertise.
3. Include your availability and preferred rate (per project or hourly).
