Your Job

You will operate and optimize molding and encapsulation processes that protect and insulate sensitive electronic components, ensuring consistent part performance, high yield, and compliance with customer and regulatory requirements. This role combines hands-on machine operation, process control, and collaboration with engineering and quality teams to deliver robust, manufacturable molded assemblies for high-reliability electronics.

This is a 2nd Shift position. The current hours are Monday - Thursday, 2pm - 12:30am, 4 x 10''s.

Our Team

You will join the Manufacturing Operations team within the Electronics Assembly division, a cross-functional group focused on delivering high-quality, high-volume electronic modules. The team emphasizes continuous improvement, strong EHS practices, and fast, reliable new-product introductions.

What You Will Do

  • Own the quality and consistency of molded electronic components by applying process controls, in-line inspection feedback, and corrective actions that reduce defects and scrap.
  • Translate product and process requirements into validated molding setups and stable runs that meet dimensional, electrical, and reliability specifications.
  • Collaborate with engineering, quality, and NPI teams to qualify new molds, materials, and process windows; support design-for-manufacturability improvements.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives (yield, cycle time, cost, and throughput) using data-driven problem solving and documented process changes.
  • Maintain process documentation, traceability records, and calibration status to support audits and regulatory compliance while promoting safe work practices on the shop floor.

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

  • High school diploma or equivalent.
  • Minimum 2 years of hands-on experience with molding, encapsulation, or potting processes in an electronics manufacturing environment.
  • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, work instructions, process parameters, and basic SPC charts.
  • Proficient with common inspection and measurement tools (calipers, microscopes, gauges) and basic computer skills for data entry and production tracking.
  • Able to meet physical requirements of the role (stand for shifts, lift up to 35 lb, perform repetitive fine motor tasks) and legally authorized to work.

For this role, we anticipate paying $26 - $30 per hour (Based on experience).

At Koch companies, we are entrepreneurs. This means we openly challenge the status quo, find new ways to create value and get rewarded for our individual contributions. Any compensation range provided for a role is an estimate determined by available market data. The actual amount may be higher or lower than the range provided considering each candidate''s knowledge, skills, abilities, and geographic location. If you have questions, please speak to your recruiter about the flexibility and detail of our compensation philosophy.

What Will Put You Ahead

  • Experience with injection molding, transfer molding, silicone or epoxy potting, or encapsulation specific to electronic assemblies.
  • Formal training or certifications such as IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, Six Sigma Yellow/Green Belt, or mold technician coursework.
  • Hands-on experience with PLC/HMI-controlled molding equipment, automated dosing systems, or vision inspection integration.
  • Demonstrated experience in root-cause analysis, DOE (design of experiments), and implementing corrective/preventive actions that measurably improve yield.
  • Familiarity with material qualification (resin properties, cure profiles, moisture control) and mold maintenance/repair techniques.
