Process Technician

We are currently partnering with a premier, high-tonnage injection molding leader to find a Process Technician who treats molding as a science, not a hobby. This isn’t a "button‑pusher" role. You will be the technical lead on a floor utilizing presses up to 2000T, specializing in complex two‑shot and gas‑assist molding.

If you are a troubleshooter who thrives on data‑driven stability and "Master Processes," we want to talk to you.

• The "Scientific" Approach:
  Set up, pull, and optimize molds using Scientific Injection Molding (SIM) principles to ensure repeatable, high‑quality cycles.
• Troubleshooting:
  Diagnose and resolve complex defects (flash, sink, splay, etc.) using RJG/eDART or similar cavity pressure data.
• Automation & Robotics:
  Program and adjust End‑of‑Arm Tooling (EOAT) and robotic extraction sequences to maintain flow.
• Material Mastery:
  Manage specialized resins (ABS, PC, Polypro) and ensure proper moisture control and drying parameters.
• Continuous Improvement:
  Work alongside the Engineering team to refine cycle times and reduce scrap rates across 90T–2000T presses.

• Experience:
  
  3+ years of hands‑on Process Tech experience in a high‑volume molding environment (Automotive or Appliance Tier 1/2 experience is a major plus).
• Technical IQ:
  Proficiency with RJG/eDART systems and a deep understanding of "The Big Four" variables (Pressure, Temperature, Flow, Cooling).
• Mechanical Skill:
  Expert‑level mold setting, overhead crane operation, and the ability to read complex blueprints/CAD data.
• Certifications:
  
  RJG or Paulson Scientific Molding certifications are highly preferred and will command a premium rate.

• Direct Access:
  We work directly with the hiring managers, ensuring your resume doesn’t get lost in an automated portal.
• Premier Facilities:
  Our client is known for a "Stability‑Before‑Scale" culture—clean, organized, and technologically advanced floors.
• Total Rewards:
  Competitive pay, 401(k) matching, comprehensive medical/dental/vision, and clear paths for advancement into Lead Tech or Engineering roles.

Salary: $50,000 – $59,000 per year

• Machine Set‑Up & Teardown: Perform mold changes and install specialized auxiliary equipment (thermolators, dryers, grinders, and robotic end‑of‑arm tooling).
  • Connect hydraulic, water, and pneumatic lines according to safety standards.
• Process Optimization (Scientific Molding):
  • Establish "Master Process" settings based on plastic pressure, melt temperature, and flow rate.
• Technical Troubleshooting:
  • Identify and resolve defects such as flashing, short shots, splay, silver streaks, and sink marks.
  • Adjust robotic extraction sequences to ensure parts are handled without damage.
• Quality & Documentation:
  • Perform "First Piece" inspections to verify parts meet CAD specifications and color matches.
  • Maintain detailed logs of process changes to ensure the next shift can replicate successful runs.
• Maintenance Support:
  • Perform minor preventative maintenance on presses and molds (cleaning vents, greasing pins).
  • Collaborate with Tooling Engineers to report mold damage or wear.
