Job Description

Job Overview

An established manufacturer is looking to add a hands‑on Process Engineer to support injection molding operations in a regulated manufacturing environment.

This role is focused on execution. Troubleshooting, process stability, and making molding processes run consistently on the floor, not sitting behind a desk.

What this role focuses on

  • Developing, optimizing, and maintaining robust injection molding processes
  • Scientific molding and process window development
  • Supporting validation activities including IQ, OQ, and PQ
  • Troubleshooting scrap, cosmetic issues, dimensional variation, and cycle time
  • Partnering closely with tooling, quality, and production teams
  • Supporting new product launches and process transfers as needed

Background that fits well

  • 3+ years of Hands‑On Injection Molding Processing Experience
  • Strong hands‑on troubleshooting and process optimization skills
  • BS in Engineering preferred, but experience will be considered in lieu of education.
  • Experience working with a range of resins and molding machines
  • Medical or cleanroom experience is a plus, but not required
