Direct Hire - $35 -$40+ per hour
Location: Stratford, CT
The Opportunity
We are seeking a high-level, "Machinist-Level" Mold Maker to join our precision tooling team in Stratford. Unlike standard plastic injection roles, this position specializes in Zinc Injection (Die Casting). You will be working with H13 tool steel to build, maintain, and repair high-pressure molds ranging from small 4-cavity precision units to large-scale 24-cavity configurations. This is a hybrid role requiring a professional who is equally comfortable with high-end CNC programming and the manual "bench-level" artistry of stoning, fitting, and assembly.
Technical Core Responsibilities:
- Precision Assembly: Execute full assembly of "Class A" molds, including high-precision fitting of cavities, threading inserts, and managing complex slide cores.
- Bench Work & Maintenance: Prep shot blocks, install ejector pins, plumb water lines, and perform essential stoning/polishing to ensure mold integrity.
- Advanced Troubleshooting: Diagnose critical production issues such as flash, galling, or cooling inefficiencies; perform engineering changes as required.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work directly with the Engineering department to interpret blueprints, resolve design flaws, and optimize mold performance.
Required Equipment & Software Stack:
- EDM Operations: Proficiency in Esprit and Sinker EDM for intricate cavity detailing.
- CNC & 5-Axis: Hands-on experience operating Mazak equipment (3-axis and 5-axis capabilities).
- Manual/Conversational: Skilled in the use of 2-axis and 3-axis Prototrak Mills and Prototrak Lathes.
- Programming & Design: Mastery of G-Code, Mastercam, and SolidWorks to interpret engineering files and blueprints.
Candidate Profile:
- Technical Literacy: Absolute precision in reading and interpreting complex technical drawings and blueprints.
- Material Expertise: Strong understanding of the thermal and pressure demands associated with H13 Tool Steel and molten zinc environments.
- Adaptability: A professional mindset that values both high-tech programming and the hands-on manual fitting required for high-tolerance tooling.
- Communication: A personable and collaborative approach to troubleshooting and engineering adjustments.
