Molding Technicians

Molding Technicians

You will join the Manufacturing Operations team within the Electronics Assembly division, a cross-functional group focused on delivering high-quality, high-volume electronic modules. The team emphasizes continuous improvement, strong EHS practices, and fast, reliable new-product introductions.

Responsibilities:

• Own the quality and consistency of molded electronic components by applying process controls, in-line inspection feedback, and corrective actions that reduce defects and scrap.
• Translate product and process requirements into validated molding setups and stable runs that meet dimensional, electrical, and reliability specifications.
• Collaborate with engineering, quality, and NPI teams to qualify new molds, materials, and process windows; support design-for-manufacturability improvements.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives (yield, cycle time, cost, and throughput) using data-driven problem solving and documented process changes.
• Maintain process documentation, traceability records, and calibration status to support audits and regulatory compliance while promoting safe work practices on the shop floor.

Qualifications:

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Minimum 2 years of hands-on experience with molding, encapsulation, or potting processes in an electronics manufacturing environment.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, work instructions, process parameters, and basic SPC charts.
• Proficient with common inspection and measurement tools (calipers, microscopes, gauges) and basic computer skills for data entry and production tracking.
• Able to meet physical requirements of the role (stand for shifts, lift up to 35 lb, perform repetitive fine motor tasks) and legally authorized to work.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with injection molding, transfer molding, silicone or epoxy potting, or encapsulation specific to electronic assemblies.
• Formal training or certifications such as IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, Six Sigma Yellow/Green Belt, or mold technician coursework.
• Hands-on experience with PLC/HMI-controlled molding equipment, automated dosing systems, or vision inspection integration.
• Demonstrated experience in root-cause analysis, DOE (design of experiments), and implementing corrective/preventive actions that measurably improve yield.
• Familiarity with material qualification (resin properties, cure profiles, moisture control) and mold maintenance/repair techniques.
