Precision Injection Mold Tooling Specialist

Job Description

Job Description

Your Day, Engineered for Impact

At the start of your 7:00 a.m. shift, you open the ERP system to review the mold Preventative Maintenance plan and queue up jobs. You’ll move fluidly from the Bridgeport to the Surface Grinder , then to the Lathe , Cutoff Grinder , and Band Saw to manufacture and restore high‑precision components for injection molds , prototype molds , end-of-arm tooling , and fixtures . You’ll program and run CNC equipment—leveraging Cimatron and Solidworks —and share your knowledge by coaching teammates on ONA EDM and HWACHEON CNC operations.

Blueprints (often as 3D solids) guide your work as you evaluate manufacturability, apply shop math, and fit components into robust production tooling and fixtures. You’ll disassemble, clean, inspect, and reassemble molds; create replacement parts for downed machines—sometimes with few or no prints; organize the tool room; and keep documentation current in the ERP. Collaboration with machinists and engineers is constant, while direction from the Tooling Manager and/or Engineering Director keeps priorities aligned. And yes—regular, punctual attendance matters here.
