  • Perform root cause analysis and lead corrective actions using formal problem-solving and Lean/Six Sigma methods.
  • Support daily start-ups/restarts/shutdowns when development work is light.
  • Mentor process technicians; contribute to skills growth and cross-training.
  • Track and report area KPIs/metrics (scrap, OEE, downtime drivers, throughput).
  • Collaborate closely with manufacturing, tool room, maintenance, quality, and engineering to meet customer demand and quality targets.
  • Ensure ISO procedures and quality plans are followed; promote a strong safety culture.
Team scope today: No direct reports initially; mentorship of techs is expected. As the site grows, leadership scope may increase. Required Qualifications
  • Proven proficiency with injection molding processing.
  • Experience with engineered and high-temperature resins.
  • Ability to interpret part prints, quality plans, and work instructions and apply them at the press.
  • Demonstrated use of formal problem-solving (e.g., 8D, PDCA, fishbone, Five Whys).
  • Ability to program robots and exchange end-of-arm tooling.
  • Working knowledge of CAD/SolidWorks and Moldflow (or equivalent).
  • Familiarity with ISO 9001:2008 and TS 16949:2009 (IATF 16949 exposure a plus).
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel) for documentation and analysis.
  • Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Lean/Six Sigma training/certification (Green Belt or Black Belt).
  • Supervisory/lead experience in a manufacturing setting.
  • Formal supervisory training.
What You’ll Love
