• Recommend mold and equipment improvements and support capital projects and cost reduction initiatives
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Engineering, Quality, Production, and Manufacturing leadership to ensure stable, capable processes
• Train, coach, and provide technical direction to mold setters, operators, and engineers
• Support quoting activities and interface with customers or vendors as required
• Follow ISO 14001 and TS 16949 requirements

• Manufacturing-floor–focused role with significant hands-on involvement with molding equipment and tooling
• Standing for extended periods in areas that may be hot, noisy, and dusty
• Commitment to safety, ergonomics, and environmental standards

Why Work With Us?
