Thermoplastics Process Optimization Technician

Are you the go-to expert when a press won't dial in? If you thrive on stabilizing processes, orchestrating quick change-overs, and getting robots, heaters, materials, and water systems working in harmony, Magna Engineered Glass wants to meet you. We have immediate second and third shift opportunities for experienced Process Technicians who can boost throughput and shrink downtime tied to setup, change-overs, process tweaks, and tooling. Your challenge Can you bring an injection molding machine from cold start to production-ready, ensuring water, materials, heaters, and robots are good to go? Will you troubleshoot and tune processes for both new and existing parts to raise yields and elevate quality? Are you able to slash downtime during die changes and process setups with well-planned execution? Do you jump on production issues fast and keep the line moving? Will you document every adjustment precisely so the team can learn and repeat success? Can you develop and update robust processes for upcoming programs? Are you comfortable setting up, diagnosing, and continuously improving end-of-arm tooling? Will you handle hazardous waste responsibly and by the book? Do you chip in on cleaning and preventive maintenance to prevent surprises? Do you enjoy structured problem-solving and contributing to continuous improvement? Are you prepared to serve as an authorized member of the facility spill response team? Will you uphold all health, safety, and environmental policies and regulations? Your path and prerequisites Level 1 For technicians with 3-5 years in a manufacturing technical role who can troubleshoot and update area equipment/systems and communicate clearly in English while working well with others. Level 2 For those with 1-2+ years at Level 1 (or equivalent) or a blend of relevant education and experience; solid injection molding proficiency is expected, with preference for RJG systematic molding. You communicate effectively, collaborate well, and carry yourself professionally while working independently and in teams. Level 3 For experienced pros with 3-5+ years at Level 2 (or equivalent) or combined relevant education/experience. You bring ABB Level 1 Robot training proficiency, exceptional teamwork and professionalism, project management and problem-solving strength, the ability to set direction with minimal supervision, and advanced molding skills—preferably with RJG Advanced eDART and Master Molder 1.
