Develop detailed cost estimates for silicone and rubber molded components, including LSR, HCR, compression, transfer and injection molding processes. Calculate material usage, cycle times, cavitation, press sizing optimization, labor content, scrap factors, secondary operations, post-cure requirements and packaging costs. Reviews and interpret blueprints and/or customer statement of requirements to prepare full BOM and routing structures aligned with manufacturing methods. Develop multiple pricing scenarios (e.g., annual volume tiers, multi-cavity/modular tooling strategies, COI variations). Generate formal customer quotations with clear assumptions/exceptions, lead times and commercial terms. Develops the quotations of the modifications/adjustments occurring after the initial order. Technical Analysis & Design for Manufacture: Conducts the feasibility of RFQ’s and analyzes data on all factors that affect the cost and manufacturability of the product, including engineering drawings, raw materials, labor, equipment, tools, and capital costs. Provide DFM feedback related to gate/vent strategy, parting lines, wall thickness, draft, flash control and cure behavior. Review customer models, prints, and specifications for manufacturability and identify risks, required tolerances, durometer considerations, and tooling impacts. Collaborate with Tooling Engineer to determine optimal tooling approach (single cavity, multi-cavity, family mold, cold runner, steel type, mold class). Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with Process Engineering to validate cycle times, scrap assumptions and other processing details. Support Sales and Business Development during customer interactions, RFQ’s, technical calls and quote reviews documenting assumptions for tracking purposes.
