The Molding Engineer is responsible for developing, optimizing, and sustaining injection molding processes to ensure safe, efficient, and high‑quality production. This role focuses on process stability, continuous improvement, scrap reduction, and supporting new product launches while collaborating with cross‑functional teams across manufacturing, maintenance, and quality. Responsibilities Develop, document, and maintain robust injection molding processes for new and existing products. Establish and optimize process parameters (temperature profiles, pressures, cycle times, cooling, etc.). Lead troubleshooting efforts using structured problem‑solving and root cause analysis. Drive continuous improvement initiatives to improve OEE, reduce scrap, and increase productivity. Support new product launches, including mold trials, validation (IQ/OQ/PQ), and process capability studies. Monitor and analyze process performance using data and SPC tools. Work closely with maintenance to resolve equipment and tooling issues. Standardize work instructions, setup sheets, and process documentation. Train technicians and operators on proper process control and best practices. Ensure compliance with safety, quality, and environmental standards. Provide ongoing support and contributions to the implementation and maintenance of the ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2015 Management Systems. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Mechanical, Manufacturing, Plastics, or related field) or equivalent experience. Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing and Continuous Improvement methodologies. Experience with Computer‑Aided Design (CAD) software – AutoCAD or SolidWorks. Experience with decoupled molding and process validation. Knowledge of plastic materials, mold design, processing techniques, automation systems, and robotics in molding environments. Six Sigma certification (Green Belt or higher). Experience with injection molding manufacturing and scientific molding principles (RJG or similar preferred). Proven ability in troubleshooting, root cause analysis, ERP/MES systems, data analysis tools, and CAD software (AutoCAD or SolidWorks) with decoupled molding and process validation. #J-18808-Ljbffr
