Communicate clearly with Production and Quality teams on process changes and improvement projects.

5+ years experience in silicone and/or rubber molding.
Strong understanding of LSR injection, HCR molding, and compression and transfer molding.
Proficiency in cure cycles, post-cure, material behavior, and tool design elements.
Experience using DOE, SPC, and statistical tools for process improvement.
Ability to interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, CAD models, and specifications.
Proven success in troubleshooting complex molding issues.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience with SolidWorks or other 3D modeling software.
Experience with mold flow analysis.
Experience in medical, automotive, aerospace, or industrial silicone components.
Experience supporting APQP, PPAP, and customer audits.
Experience with automation, vision inspection, and deflashing/trimming technologies.
