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. 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. If you enjoy solving difficult molding problems, developing robust manufacturing processes, and making measurable improvements on the production floor, we'd welcome a confidential conversation. #J-18808-Ljbffr Plastic Executive Recruiters
