Your Job

As a Mold Flow Engineer, you will be integral to the connector product development process, collaborating with a multidisciplinary team that includes product design engineers, mold CAE engineers, and mold tooling engineers. Your expertise in molding technology will be crucial throughout the product development cycle, from design inception through to tooling qualification. You will apply your manufacturing acumen to drive design for manufacturability (DFM), high performing injection molds, and elevate the efficiency of molding production operations, while managing priorities to adhere to project timelines.

Our Team

Koch Industries subsidiary, Molex, is expanding its influence in the realm of molding simulation to enhance the development of connector products. We are in search of a highly skilled mold flow engineer to elevate our team. For those ambitious individuals eager to catalyze their career growth while contributing to a standout company, this position holds the promise of a rewarding future.

What You Will Do

Deliver expert guidance on plastic molding behaviors to enhance product manufacturability, mold performance, and molding production efficiency for cross-functional product development teams. Engage with Product Design Engineers during preliminary design phases to provide DFM insights and proactively address manufacturability issues and optimize product manufacturability prior to OK-to-Tool. Partner with mold tooling engineers to craft and authenticate tooling strategies, ensuring optimal runner/gate/cooling designs, and refining mold tooling plans. Optimize molding process parameters in conjunction with process engineers. Leverage molding simulation tools to boost production operational efficiency, targeting cycle time reduction, material usage minimization, defect reduction, and PM frequency decrease. Collect and evaluate data on molding behavior and part performance for predicted versus actual comparison studies. Execute additional duties as directed by management.

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Polymer Engineering; Master’s degree preferred. Proven background in creating molding simulation models, specifically for connector products, utilizing software such as Moldflow, Moldex3D, HyperMesh, and CAD systems like NX. Proficiency in conducting Flow, Pack, Cool, and Warp analyses with simulation software like Moldex3D or Moldflow. Expertise in interpreting simulation results, diagnosing potential issues in molding and product performance, and suggesting solutions and risk mitigation for product design, tooling, and processing. Effective communication capabilities, adept at generating simulation project reports, leading simulation review sessions, and spearheading cross-functional problem-solving discussions.

What Will Put You Ahead

Autodesk Moldflow Associate or Professional Certification is favorable. Practical experience with connector or other electronic product design. Hands-on expertise in mold design, injection molding processes, and injection molding press controls. In-depth knowledge of plastic materials and their properties, including glass fiber-filled grades. Familiarity with CT data analysis using Volume Graphics. Experience with structural FEA tools like Abaqus or Ansys, and integrating them with molding simulation software.
