Hands-on in operating injection molding machine and other auxiliary equipment such asautomation handling system, mold temperature controller, chiller, mixer etc.
Application of optimal injection parameters leading to part molded condition achievingdimensional stability and free from common molding defects.
Able to carry out mold testing independently.
Well-prepared and lead during mold trials byensuring molds are qualified per requirements.
Establish guidelines in mold testing procedures and safety.
Close follow-up on mold development stages, from design, fabrication, assembly, mold trialsand testing.
These include coordination with vendors, planners and production to ensureactivities are seamless and smooth handover to production.
Conduct DOE on different injection parameters, how these parameters affect molded partwith data to support the overall analysis study.
Be the go-to-expert in resolving issues related to injection.
Participate in DFM to providevaluable advice on part moldability.
Experience in tool steel grade and resin selection to ensure achieving mold guarantee shotsand reduced maintenance.
Qualifications
JOB REQUIREMENTS:
Diploma or a degree in engineering or manufacturing
At least 3+ years of hands-on work experience in injection molding
Understand mold construction and plastic parts drawings with critical GD&T callouts
Proficient in molding simulation software such as Moldflow, Moldex3D etc.
Why Is This a Great Opportunity
Influence Over the Entire Lifecycle: You arent just coming in at the end of the process. By participating in DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and providing advice on tool steel and resin selection, you have a seat at the table during the design and fabrication phases.
Scientific Approach (DOE & Simulation): The requirement for Moldflow/Moldex3D and Design of Experiments (DOE) means this isn't guesswork molding. You will use data-driven analysis to optimize parameters, which builds a highly professional and modern technical profile.
Project Management & Leadership: You will act as a bridge between vendors, planners, and production. Leading mold trials and ensuring a seamless handover develops the soft skills and coordination experience needed for future management roles.
Go-To Expert Status: The job explicitly positions you as the authority on injection issues. Being the person who resolves complex defects and establishes safety/testing guidelines cements your reputation as a high-value asset within the company.
High Technical Complexity: Working with automation handling systems and critical GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) callouts ensures your technical skills stay sharp and relevant in high-precision manufacturing industries like medical, automotive, or electronics.
