At McCLARIN we manufacture composites essential to the worlds most innovative and efficient buses trucks trains RVs construction and farm equipment. These end-use channels enhance human experience to drive ride construct farm and enjoy nature.

Through collaboration we create both processes and products in any way shape or form that contributes to a decarbonized and circular economy. McCLARIN scouts and adopts new ways to make the molding process more sustainable. We shape materials into high-quality and high-performance products. We form value through combined effort with our customers and stakeholders.

What We Need:

We are looking for a Senior Industrial & Process Engineer. You will serve in a key position driving operational excellence across our core molding disciplines: open fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) reaction injection molding (RIM) clamping and resin infusion systems.

You will lead high-impact process developments focused on safety quality delivery and cost (SQDC). This role heavily commands a strong mastery of motion-time studies advanced tooling lifecycles and aggressive mold cycle-time reduction. This position will offer a strong career growth track at a well-established manufacturing company. This position will be on-site in Hanover PA

Key Responsibilities

• Mold Cycle Time & Process Optimization: Analyze document and refine manufacturing parameters to shorten cycle times for open FRP cure profiles RIM clamp intervals and resin infusion velocities without losing structural part integrity.
• Motion & Time Studies: Conduct rigorous labor and motion time studies (utilizing MTM/MOST or standard data frameworks) on manual layup vacuum bagging and demolding sequences to strip out non-value-added steps and set accurate production standards.
• Tooling Lifecycle Management: Oversee the complete lifecycle of composite and hard tooling assetsfrom engineering release and initial tryouts to preventative maintenance and mold preservation.
• SMED & Changeover Reductions: Champion Single-Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) workshops to minimize changeover windows for complex RIM clamps and heavy infusion tools significantly boosting tool rotation efficiency.
• New Product Development (NPD) Support: Partner with the customer during New Product Development via Process FMEA (PFMEA) and Design for Manufacture (DFM) actions to ensure seamless production launches.
• Lean & Culture Leadership: Actively drive continuous improvement initiatives (5S Kaizen Six Sigma) during daily factory floor SQDC huddles. Teach and mentor production personnel on updated process standards and work instructions.

• 510 years of direct manufacturing experience specifically working within advanced composites or plastics processing (Open Mold RIM and Infusion required).

Must Haves:

• Tooling Background: Strong technical background in mold construction gelcoat/surface repairs vacuum integrity troubleshooting and mechanical or hydraulic clamp mechanisms.
• Technical Software: High proficiency in CAD systems (AutoCAD/SolidWorks) for work-cell design and layout manipulation. Experience with resin flow or thermal simulation software is a major asset.
• Core Skills: Mastery of standard data time systems root-cause failure analysis (RCFA) print/drawing interpretation and a robust understanding of polymer/resin behavior.

So Whats in It for You
