Process Engineer

Job Description

**Injection Molding Process Engineer**
If you're the engineer everyone calls when an injection molding process won't stabilize, a new mold won't qualify, or scrap starts climbing, this is the kind of role built for you.
A growing plastics manufacturer is adding multiple Molding Process Engineers to help improve manufacturing performance, support new tooling launches, and build robust, repeatable molding processes.

**WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS**
Continued growth and new manufacturing programs have created the need for experienced process engineers who can own scientific molding, process development, and continuous improvement from qualification through production.

**WHAT YOU'LL OWN**
• Develop, validate, and optimize injection molding processes using scientific molding principles.  
• Lead mold qualifications and production start-ups.  
• Establish stable, repeatable process windows.  
• Analyze process performance and implement data-driven improvements.  
• Reduce scrap and improve process capability.  
• Troubleshoot tooling, materials, and molding issues.  
• Mentor Process Technicians and support production teams.  
• Partner with Quality, Tooling, and Manufacturing on continuous improvement initiatives.

**WHAT STRONG LOOKS LIKE**
• 3 years of hands-on injection molding process engineering.  
• Strong scientific molding experience.  
• Process validation and mold qualification expertise.  
• Experience using DOE, SPC, and structured problem solving.  
• Knowledge of hot runner and valve gate systems.  
• Ability to interpret Moldflow results or similar process simulation tools.  
• Engineering degree or equivalent injection molding experience.

**WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU**

* Target compensation: $80,000-$110,000 depending on experience.
* Competitive benefits package.
* Highly technical engineering role with significant process ownership.
* Opportunity to influence new tooling, manufacturing performance, and continuous improvement.
* Career growth opportunities with multiple facilities and a need for skilled process leaders

**WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT**
* Not a maintenance technician position.
* Not a quality engineering role.
* Not focused solely on production support.
* Not an office-only engineering job.
