Job description

We are hiring an experienced Injection Mold Set-Up Technician for a high-precision manufacturing facility in Buffalo Grove, IL. This direct-hire position is ideal for technicians with hands-on injection molding experience who can perform mold changes, set-ups, processing adjustments, and troubleshooting in an automated production environment.

The facility produces small, tight-tolerance plastic components and operates modern molding equipment, robotics, and automated inspection systems. Candidates must have at least 2 years of injection molding or mold setup experience.

Job Overview

The Injection Mold Set-Up Technician is responsible for performing mold installations, machine start-ups, processing checks, and in-process adjustments for night-shift production. This role works with injection molding machines, auxiliary equipment, automated take-out robots, and quality inspection tools while maintaining consistent part quality and machine performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform mold set-ups, mold changes, color changes, and machine start-ups

• Operate and adjust injection molding machines in a precision-driven environment

• Work with automation equipment including robotic take-out systems (5-axis and 6-axis)

• Conduct in-process and final quality inspections using calipers, micrometers, gauges, and vision systems

• Troubleshoot molding issues such as shorts, flash, splay, color variation, or dimensional defects

• Perform basic preventive maintenance on molds and auxiliary equipment

• Document production activity in SAP or similar manufacturing systems

• Follow all safety, cleanroom, and quality procedures

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 2 years of injection molding experience

• Experience performing mold changes, set-ups, or processing adjustments

• Strong mechanical aptitude with problem-solving skills

• Ability to lift 50 lbs and stand for 12-hour shifts

• Basic math and computer literacy

• High school diploma or GED

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in medical molding, precision plastics, or cleanroom environments

• Experience with automated take-out robots or in-mold sensors

• SAP or TMS system experience

• Familiarity with lean manufacturing or 5S

Why This Role Stands Out

• Direct-hire, full-time opportunity

• Modern injection molding facility with cleanroom production areas

• Work with advanced robotics, precision molding technology, and vision inspection systems

• Competitive pay plus 10% night shift premium

• Medical, dental, vision, and PTO

• Stable employer with training and advancement opportunities

• 2-2-3 schedule provides more days off per month

You should be proficient in:

  • Mechanical Troubleshooting Skills
  • Plastics - Nylon 6 Material Experience
  • Plastics - Nylon 66 Material Experience
  • Plastics - PA6 Experience
  • Plastics - PA66 Materials Experience
  • Injection Molding Experience
