Engineer

Role context

Process development and control

• Set, monitor, and optimize injection molding parameters to achieve stable production and consistent product quality.
• Control injection pressure and speed, holding pressure, screw speed, barrel and mold temperatures, cooling time, back pressure, and cycle time.
• Develop and maintain optimized parameters for different molds, machines, and materials.
• Conduct trials for new mold development, mold modifications, material changes, and process improvements.
• Ensure processes follow approved standards and process sheets.

Troubleshooting and improvement

• Troubleshoot short shots, flash, sink marks, warpage, burn marks, weld lines, flow marks, silver streaks, black spots, and dimensional or color variation.
• Analyze machine, mold, material, and process causes; perform root cause analysis and implement corrective and preventive actions.
• Work with Production, Quality, Maintenance, Tool Room, and Material teams to resolve recurring issues.
• Reduce rejection, rework, downtime, and material waste through systematic problem-solving.

Experience and technical knowledge

• Strong expertise in injection molding process development, control, troubleshooting, optimization, productivity improvement, and process variability reduction.
• Experience managing processes from new product and mold trials through stabilization, mass production, continuous improvement, and quality enhancement.
• Knowledge of injection molding machines, mold technology, process parameters, material behavior, auxiliary equipment, robotics, and automation.
• Experience processing PC, PMMA, PBT, PA6, PA66, and PC+ABS engineering polymers.
• Understanding of material drying, dehumidification, processing temperatures, moisture control, material handling, and material-specific molding requirements.
• Exposure to CFS/material feeding systems, dehumidification systems, dryers, mold temperature controllers, hot runner systems, conveyors, and other auxiliary equipment.

Development opportunities
