Summary

• Responsible for optimizing injection molding equipment and processes and driving shop floor improvements

• Works with production, toolroom, and OEM teams to fix molding issues, improve FPY, reduce scrap, and maintain machine reliability.

Responsibilities

Defect Reduction & Yield Optimization

• Diagnose and solve complex molding defects (e.g., flash, sink marks, short shots, dimensional instability, jetting) in direct collaboration with production and toolroom teams.

• Establish robust, repeatable Scientific Molding processes (Decoupled Molding principles) to ensure process window consistency across all shifts.

• Lead process optimization projects targeting scrap reduction, cycle time efficiency, and sustained FPY improvements.

Machine Reliability & Toolroom Support

• Partner with the toolroom team to troubleshoot mold-to-machine interface issues, hot runner systems, core pulls, and mechanical alignment.

• Participate in DFM review with tooling team inevaluatingappropriatemachine capability, tonnage requirements,barrel size,hydraulic/electric injection stability, and clamp parallelism to ensure presses operate at peak technical specifications.

• Standardize machine setup, parameter monitoring, and calibration routines for high-precision molds,including any associated EOAT.

OEM & Maintenance Collaboration

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for OEM service engineers during advanced maintenance, upgrades, and retrofits.

• Audit and refine preventive maintenance (PM) routines executed by maintenance staff, focusing on critical wear points that impact product quality and machine availability.

• Conduct root cause failure analysis (RCFA/FMEA) on chronic equipment breakdowns to shift maintenance strategy from reactive troubleshooting to predictive health monitoring.

Standardization & Capability Building

• Establish clear technical SOPs for machine setup, troubleshooting protocols, and parameter lock-down.

• Upskill and mentor line technicians and maintenance personnel on advanced machine diagnostics and scientific molding practices.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree or Diploma in Mechanical, Polymer, Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent.

• Min 5–8 years of hands‑on technical experience with high‑precision injection molding machines (e.g., Arburg, Engel, KraussMaffei, Sumitomo, Fanuc) and Hot Runner Systems (Husky, Ewikon, Yudo, Mold Masters, Guenther, etc.)

• Expertise in machine hydraulics, servo‑electric systems, PLCs, and mold design principles.

• Expertise in different Hot Runner Systems troubleshooting and technology is advantageous.

• Strong root‑cause analysis (RCA) skills (e.g., 8D, 5-Why, Fishbone).

• Hands‑on mindset, strong problem‑solving initiative, and an ability to train and mentor line staff effectively.
