Moulding Engineer (LSR Injection Moulding)

About the role

The Moulding Engineering function applies advanced skills and knowledge of moulding engineering across process, equipment, facilities and documents to meet current and future production volume, quality, OH&S and cost requirements. Key deliverables include process validation, scrap reduction and cost-saving initiatives. The role works closely with Production, Planning, Quality, SQE, PD, PLE, GSA and Marketing teams.

Key responsibilities

• Implement, maintain and improve LSR moulding manufacturing processes, equipment, facilities and documentation while following OH&S guidelines.
• Support mould trials and qualification, and investigate moulding defects and customer complaints.
• Reduce cycle time, moulding scrap and manufacturing cost, and improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
• Lead and manage multiple projects, influence and collaborate with other teams, and lead, mentor or train junior engineers and technicians.
• Work independently in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, using data-driven decisions and risk analysis.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Polymer, Chemical or related engineering.
• 5 to 10+ years of injection moulding experience.
• Hands-on experience with LSR moulding, multi-cavity mould processing, and medical, automotive or consumer product manufacturing in high-volume automated environments.
• Ability to work with colleagues across different geographical sites.

Required skills

• LSR material handling, moulding machine and dosing unit operation, and process optimisation.
• Mold qualification and acceptance, tool design review, and defect troubleshooting.
• Problem-solving methods such as DMAIC, cause-and-effect, and 5 Whys.
• Reading mechanical drawings and GD&T (ASME Y14.5-2018).
• Statistical process control (Cpk, SPC), hypothesis testing, DOE, PFMEA and control plans.
• Process validation (DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ), ISO 13485, ISO and OSHA safety standards, and GMP requirements.
