Job Summary

Process Technician (Blow Molding)

The RoleAs aProcess Technician you will be the technical backbone of our molding department. You are responsible for the setup stabilization and optimization of complex molding processes forconsumer products and beverage bottles. We are looking for a Scientific Molder who goes beyond turning knobs to understand thewhybehind thematerial and processbehavior.

Core Responsibilities

Scientific Process Development:Establish and maintain robust decoupled molding processes (Scientific Molding) to ensure consistent part quality and cycle time optimization.
Technical Troubleshooting:Diagnose and resolve complex molding issues (e.g. flash splay short shots dimensional instability) using root-cause analysis rather than trial and error.
New Product Launch (NPI):Work closely with Engineering during mold trials (sampling) to define the process window and provide feedback on mold design and functionality.
Automation Integration:Coordinate with the automation team to ensure 3-axis or 6-axis robots (end-of-arm tooling) are synchronized with the press for seamless part extraction.
Quality & Compliance:Ensure all processes adhere toqualitystandards. Perform first-piece inspections and monitor SPC (Statistical Process Control) data to prevent defects.
Mentorship:Act as a technical lead for junior technicians and operators fostering a culture of technical excellence and safety.
