Mold Flow Engineer – temporary contract
Main purpose of the job
As a Mold Flow Engineer at Artifex Interior Systems, you will deliver Moldflow simulation in support of plastic injection-moulded component and tooling design across the product lifecycle.
The role supports simulation-led decision-making from early concept through to approved off-tool parts, contributing to reduced tooling risk, improved quality and robust industrialisation outcomes.
Main missions and results
Perform Moldflow simulations (Fill, Pack, Warp, Cooling and Fibre Orientation) to support component and tooling design.
Create high-quality meshed models using appropriate mesh technologies and refinement strategies to maximise simulation accuracy.
Build representative Moldflow models incorporating cooling channels, inserts, feed systems, injection pressure profiles and other tool-specific data where required.
Analyse Mold Flow results and provide clear, actionable engineering guidance to design, tooling and production teams.
Identify moulding and tooling risks using Mold Flow analysis, including ‘what-if' and sensitivity studies, and define mitigation actions.
Act as a technical resource for colleagues by supporting understanding and effective use of Mold Flow outputs.
Optimise gating strategies, runner layouts, cooling circuits, cycle times and overall tool performance using simulation.
Support Design for Manufacture (DFM) reviews for new and existing plastic components.
Collaborate with tooling engineers on mould design, venting strategy, material selection and processing parameters.
Liaise with engineering and design teams, attending design reviews to advise on Mold Flow analysis requirements throughout development phases.
Produce technical reports and presentation material to communicate analysis results to internal stakeholders and, where required, customers.
Participate in tooling GA reviews and mould trials, collecting process data to correlate simulation predictions with actual tool performance.
Support root-cause analysis of moulding defects using Mold Flow outputs and in-plant validation data.
