Injection Molding Process Technologist
Location: Canton, OH, USA | Department: Injection Molding | Reports To: Injection Molding Manager
A day in this role
Sunrise hits the production floor and you’re already steps ahead—reviewing the build plan, staging materials, and lining up tools. You dial in the first press, setting up and starting the injection molding machine for the day’s run. As cycles begin, you fine-tune temperatures, pressures, and speeds to lock in repeatable quality. You capture every change in the system, noting what worked and why.
Mid-morning, you pivot to the semi-automatic click-machine, assembling chain components to spec and troubleshooting small hiccups before they slow you down. You make a quick preventive maintenance pass—cleaning, checking auxiliaries, confirming tooling—and you’re back to monitoring process stability, using precision measurement tools to verify parts meet tight tolerances.
By afternoon, you’re solving problems others haven’t seen yet—tweaking parameters, collaborating with teammates, and supporting continuous improvement to cut scrap and shave cycle times. You package finished goods, update records, and leave the line ready for the next shift.
