Process Engineer (injection Molding)

Now Hiring: Senior Or Mid Level Process Engineers – Injection Molding

SE Greenville, SC area | Full-Time | Tier 1 Automotive Manufacturing

Salary: $85-130k+ (prepared to be competitive to get strong talent) Plus bonus, Great benefits, 401k, vacation, etc.!

Are you a hands-on injection molding expert ready to thrive in a high-urgency, high-impact environment? Our client is seeking multiple Senior (or Mid Level) Process Engineers (1st Shift and Off- shifts) to join a dynamic team and help drive a major plant turnaround.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Cutting-edge operation: 30+ large-tonnage presses (150–1500T+), complex tools up to 40,000 lbs.
• Advanced molding: Insert molding, mold-behind-fabric, valve gates, coining, and more.
• High-impact products: Full IP systems, door panels, airbags – Tier 1 to BMW.
• Growth opportunity: Be part of a plant transformation with room to lead and grow.

What You'll Do

• Lead or support press-side troubleshooting, mold validation, and cycle optimization.
• Drive continuous improvement in scrap, cycle time, quality, and material usage.
• Collaborate with Tooling, Quality, and Maintenance teams to optimize performance.
• Support new tool launches, automation handoff, and process development.
• Interface with robotics (Sepro, Wittmann, Engel, ABB) and controls teams.
• Own and deploy scientific molding principles and eDart systems.
• Mentor technicians and contribute to training and upskilling efforts.

What You Bring (flexible on these areas)

• Senior Role (1st Shift): Proven leadership in tool launches, troubleshooting, and process development.
• Off-Shift Roles: Strong hands-on experience with injection molding and readiness for 12-hour shifts.
• Deep understanding of complex tooling and molding technologies.
• Familiarity with robotics and EOAT coordination.
• Bonus: Experience with mold gas assist, coining, insert/overmolding, or tight-tolerance airbag chute molding.

Must-Haves

• Plastic Injection molding expertise is non-negotiable and some automation experience (no programming expected)
• Strong job stability – no job-hoppers.
• Floor-based mindset – expect 70%+ hands-on work.
• Willingness to work weekends, variable hours, and be on-call as needed (will get better as the team builds).
• Degree preferred, but not required with proven experience and technical skill.

Shift Details

• Senior Process Engineer: 1st Shift (Day)
• Process Engineers (2 openings): Off-Shift (12-hour shifts for now but will change as team builds, 7a–7p / 7p–7a)
• 7-day operation – Just-In-Time (JIT) supply environment

Your Team

• Join a team committed to excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement.
