Process Technician

Responsibilities: The incumbent is an experienced, hands-on technician, responsible for supporting injection molding operations, tooling performance, hot runner systems, mold troubleshooting, process stability, and production efficiency. The role serves as a technical resource for production teams, process technicians, tooling personnel, maintenance, engineering, and quality. Set up, start up, troubleshoot, and optimize injection molding processes to support safe, efficient, and repeatable production. Identify and resolve molding defects such as flash, short shots, burns, splay, sink, voids, dimensional variation, contamination, gate issues, and cosmetic defects. Apply advanced knowledge of molds, tooling construction, mold alignment, parting lines, venting, gate conditions, ejector systems, and wear-related tooling issues. Troubleshoot hot runner systems, including heaters, thermocouples, nozzles, manifolds, temperature controllers, wiring, connector issues, and related process symptoms. Work with process engineering, tooling, maintenance, and quality teams to determine root cause and implement practical corrective actions. Support mold trials, process development, process transfers, and production start-ups for new or existing molded components.
