Set up and operate injection molding, blow molding, and related equipment during development trials; adjust process parameters to improve part quality and cycle time.

Build and verify first-article samples, perform dimensional checks using CMM and hand gauges, and document results to specification.

Troubleshoot tooling, mold, and processing issues during trials, working directly with die/tool shops and toolmakers to drive timely resolution.

Develop and execute sample and test plans, procure test fixtures and gages, and carry out or coordinate metrology verification activities.

Support customer line trials on-site at customer facilities, acting as the technical representative during qualification runs.

Participate in and contribute to DFMEA/PFMEA workshops, applying hands-on trial experience to identify failure modes and propose mitigations.

Project Support & Engineering Execution

Execute assigned tasks within the Stage-Gate process, meeting milestone deliverables on time, to specification, and within budget.
