Key Activities

• Apply advanced technical knowledge to the design, construction, and sourcing of mold tooling to meet defined quality, cost, and production requirements.
• Contribute to the evaluation, introduction, and implementation of new molding technologies within the manufacturing footprint.
• Act as a technical subject matter expert, providing guidance on complex molding-related topics including processing, tooling, materials, quality, and capacity challenges, both internally and with external partners.
• Support and coordinate enterprise-wide molding excellence initiatives and continuous improvement activities, recommending and implementing best practices across the organization.
• Utilize data-driven problem-solving methodologies such as Six Sigma, DMAIC, 8D, or similar approaches to identify root causes of molding issues and implement sustainable solutions that improve process capability.
• Support the deployment of operational excellence and standardized manufacturing foundations within the molding environment.
• Collaborate with Supply Chain and Procurement teams to source molded components and support the external manufacturing and supplier base as required.
• Partner closely with Product Development Engineering to ensure designs meet cost targets and follow design-for-manufacturability principles.
• Provide molding expertise to assigned new product development projects, ensuring key milestones and deliverables are met according to project timelines, including mold qualification and transfer to production.
• Ensure proper documentation of molding processes, tooling, and standards within applicable internal systems.
• Participate in and, when appropriate, lead FMEA reviews related to molding processes and tooling.
