Description
A well-established injection molding manufacturer is seeking a hands-on technical leader to guide new plastic products from customer concept through mold development, testing, and production launch.
In this senior role, you’ll lead injection mold tooling and product engineering projects, review part designs, coordinate with mold makers, and help ensure new programs launch successfully. You’ll work closely with the manufacturing team, including a Senior Process Engineer and Molding Supervisor. The molding process itself is led by the Senior Process Engineer, so this position focuses on product design, tooling, and program launch.
What you’ll do
- Lead injection mold tooling projects from concept through production approval.
- Review customer part designs and recommend practical design-for-manufacturing (DFM) improvements.
- Develop tooling specifications, review mold designs, and manage build schedules and costs.
- Coordinate with domestic and overseas mold makers, including occasional travel to China.
- Lead prototypes, mold trials, sampling, validation, and production launches.
- Work on the manufacturing floor with the Senior Process Engineer and Molding Supervisor to resolve tooling and part issues.
What we’re looking for
- Deep experience in injection mold tooling and product engineering.
- Strong knowledge of DFM, mold design, mold construction, and tooling costs.
- Experience leading new products from design through manufacturing launch.
- Advanced 3D CAD skills; SolidWorks or Creo preferred.
- A hands-on approach and comfort working at the machine during trials and troubleshooting.
- Strong communication skills with suppliers, customers, and internal teams.
- Ability to meet U.S. government-contract eligibility requirements.
Why consider this opportunity?
This is a chance to take ownership of projects from design through launch while combining technical leadership with hands-on work. You’ll collaborate with an experienced molding team, work with established global tooling partners, and help shape engineering methods and supplier standards as the company continues to invest in its people and capabilities.
The company serves demanding, high-quality markets and is known for precision manufacturing, long-term customer relationships, and continued investment in equipment and new capabilities.
