Lead medium- to large-sized, complex molding engineering projects from concept and design through procurement, qualification, validation, and sustained support.

Develop and implement technically sound injection- and blow-molding solutions that meet product, process, quality, cost, and regulatory expectations.

Provide technical direction on equipment, tooling, automation, resin selection, process development, inspection strategy, and manufacturing readiness.

Conduct risk assessments, manage life-cycle costs, and communicate technical recommendations, project status, and risk-based decisions to management.

Support supplier selection, supplier performance, and technical issue resolution for molds, equipment, automation, and related services.

Technical and Functional Accountabilities

Apply deep knowledge of plastics processes, resins, injection molding equipment, blow molding, tooling, and inspection procedures to optimize process capability and product quality.

Plan and execute FMEAs, design of experiments (DOE), dimensional analysis, statistical process control (SPC) analysis, factory acceptance testing (FAT), equipment and process qualification, and validation activities.

Translate design controls, quality-system expectations, regulatory requirements, and applicable ISO requirements into practical engineering deliverables and manufacturing controls.

Lead or support tooling and automation design, procurement, qualification, and supplier management; evaluate technical proposals and acceptance criteria.

Use metrology and dimensional data to investigate variation, establish process controls, and drive effective corrective technical actions.

Maintain working familiarity with CNC equipment, wire EDM, surface finishes, grinders, hand tools, and 3D CAD platforms including SolidWorks, Creo/ProE, and AutoCAD.
