Join a Team That Builds What Others Imagine At Moldtronics, Inc.—a privately held contract manufacturer in Downers Grove, Illinois—we’ve been crafting high‑precision solutions since 1955. Our customers span aerospace, defense, medical, agriculture, IoT, and commercial markets, and they rely on us for custom injection molding, mold making, CNC machining, and end‑to‑end manufacturing. Day in the Life You’ll start your morning reviewing CAD models and blueprints alongside engineering. By mid‑day, you’re at the controls of Haas CNC mills or on the sinker/orbital EDM, machining precision components that bring a new plastic injection mold to life. In the afternoon, you’re inspecting tight‑tolerance work, fitting and assembling tooling, and collaborating with production and quality to troubleshoot part performance. You’ll wrap up by refining a Mastercam program and noting a design tweak that will make the next build even better. What You’ll Do Build and repair plastic injection molds from CAD models, blueprints, and engineering specifications Operate CNC mills, vertical mills, sinker/orbital EDM machines, and surface grinders CNC machine precision parts and components to specification Create your own programs using Mastercam Read and interpret blueprints, CAD models, and technical drawings with accuracy Perform quality inspections using precision measuring equipment Troubleshoot tooling and part-quality issues in collaboration with engineering and production teams Assist with other related duties as required or assigned Contribute to continuous improvement of mold design and manufacturing processes What You Bring 5+ years of injection mold making and/or mold repair experience The ability to build plastic injection molds using mold designs, CAD models, blueprints, and engineering drawings Strong knowledge of injection mold construction, operation, maintenance, and repair Ability to read and interpret mold designs, blueprints, CAD models, tolerances, and engineering specifications Experience with mills, lathes, surface grinders, and standard Tool Room equipment Strong precision machining, fitting, inspection, and troubleshooting skills Experience working to close tolerances using precision measuring equipment CNC experience required CAD/CAM experience required Ability to work independently or with a team Compensation & Schedule $30.00–$45.00 per hour, depending on experience and skills.
