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.

Core Responsibilities

• 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.

What You Bring to the Table

• 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.

Why Apply Through Us?

• 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
shift: Second
work hours: 2:45 PM - 11 PM

Responsibilities

Primary Responsibilities

• 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.
    
    

The essential functions of this role include:

• working in a smoke free environment
• wearing steel toe shoes
• working in a non-temperature controlled environment
• manual lifting up to 50lbs
• standing for 8 hours at one time
