Injection Molding Setup & Process Technician

Job Description

Job Description

Is this you?

• Can you rig a mold, tie in hydraulics, water, and electrical, and get a press to cycle at defined parameters?
• Do you enjoy dialing in a start-up with auxiliaries humming and processes running inside their window?
• When a cycle drifts or an automation step hiccups, do you go straight to structured, basic troubleshooting?
• Are you the type who inspects parts up front—before they reach quality—because first-pass yield matters?
• Will you pull a mold safely and cleanly when preventive maintenance is scheduled?
• Do you live safety, not just sign the form?

What the work looks like

• Install molds with complete hydraulic, water, and electrical connections.
• Launch molding machines and auxiliary equipment to pre-established process settings.
• Execute basic troubleshooting on injection molding and automation equipment.
• Conduct pre-inspections of molded parts ahead of quality checks.
• Perform safe mold removal for planned maintenance.
• Model and enforce safe work practices.

What you’ll need to succeed

• High school diploma or GED (or equivalent) required.
• Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience in injection molding manufacturing.
• Comfort with basic hand tools.
• Math skills covering addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, percentages, decimals, and fractions.
• Physical ability to stand 70% of the time and lift up to 50 pounds.
• Experience using calipers, micrometers, and similar measuring devices.
• Basic computer literacy preferred.
• Understanding of Scientific Injection Molding concepts preferred, not mandatory.
• Willingness to follow all company policies and procedures.
