Shape How Things Are Made—Every Day
At Molded Dimensions, we create engineered elastomer and urethane components that power transportation, marine, medical, and industrial applications. If you have 2–3 years of manufacturing experience and a passion for elevating performance, you’ll own initiatives that boost efficiency, quality, and speed to market.
A Day in the Life
You kick off the morning with a quick floor walk—checking cycle times, validating standard work, and chatting with operators about a new cell layout. A production issue appears; you dive into root-cause analysis, implement a corrective action, and log updates in the ERP (IQMS preferred). Before lunch, you review PPAP documentation and first-article results for a new urethane product. The afternoon includes updating BOMs/routings, preparing KPI dashboards, and collaborating with Quality, Operations, and Tooling on a process capability study. You wrap by outlining a plan for a small capital project—specifying equipment and validation steps—then brief the Director of Engineering on wins and the next improvement sprint.
What You’ll Drive
- Operational Excellence: Implement Lean/Six Sigma ideas that reduce waste, increase throughput, and elevate product quality.
- Data-Backed Decisions: Analyze production trends, pinpoint root causes, and keep process documentation and standard work current.
- Production Support: Provide daily hands-on engineering assistance; lead corrective actions; improve cycle times; validate equipment and processes.
- New Product Introduction: Partner cross-functionally on process design, tooling development, feasibility reviews, PPAPs, first articles, and production trials—launching products with minimal disruption.
- Systems & Data: Use ERP/MRP (IQMS preferred) to manage BOMs, routings, and inventory accuracy; safeguard data integrity; publish KPIs; support system enhancements.
- Collaboration & Compliance: Align with plant initiatives; champion safety, quality, and environmental standards; contribute to equipment specification, installation, and validation; take on additional duties as business needs evolve.
