Explanation:
There are two possibilities for EDM
1) Using a fine wire "Drahterodieren"
2) Using a graphite electrode which is the shape of the whole hole that needs to be eroded into the die "Senkerodieren"

See link given for an explanation in english.

The person who carries out the work is the \"Erodierer\".

Werkzeugbauer might also work, come to think of it.

Some more info that may help:

Acc to Wanderer (Metallurgical dictionary), die maker = Werkzeugmacher.

Acc to Stahleisen Wörterbuch, die sinking = Gravieren

\"Stempelschneider\" is in neither dictionary and I\'ve never heard it used in practice (I work for a company which makes tool steel). I even found it on a list of \"alte Berufe\" http://www.bielski-web.de/html/berufe.html . The term appears to be outdated.
