Job Description

Injection Mold Tooling Managerfitchburg, MA 01420

Injection Mold Tooling Manager


Hands-On Mold Making & Tooling Expert
Fitchburg, MA | $110,000 - $145,000+

Experienced Mold Makers: Take the Next Step Without Leaving the Bench Behind


Micron Solutions is seeking an experienced Injection Mold Tooling Manager to provide hands-on technical leadership for our injection molding tooling operations.


This is not a desk-only management role. We are looking for a mold-making expert first. The ideal candidate has extensive hands-on experience building, repairing, maintaining, modifying, and troubleshooting injection molds and can serve as the technical resource for complex tooling problems.

Previous management experience is helpful, but technical injection mold expertise is more important than having held a Manager title.


Our injection molding operations include presses ranging from 55 to 300 tons, supporting commercial, engineering, and technical applications.


  • Troubleshoot injection mold tooling and diagnose mold-related production and quality issues.
  • Support hands-on mold repair, maintenance, modification, assembly, fitting, and troubleshooting.
  • Coordinate new mold builds, repairs, preventive maintenance, and outside tooling work.
  • Review mold designs and provide practical mold-making and DFM input.
  • Support mold trials, qualification, and production release.
  • Identify root causes of tooling failures, scrap, and downtime.
  • Recommend tooling improvements to increase mold reliability, performance, and tool life.
  • Provide technical guidance and direction to Mold Makers and Tool Room personnel.
  • Partner with Process Technicians, Engineering, Quality, Maintenance, and Production to resolve tooling issues.
  • Help prioritize Tool Room projects and tooling support needs.

    • Qualifications


  • 10+ years of hands-on injection mold making or injection mold tooling experience.
  • Strong experience building, repairing, maintaining, modifying, and troubleshooting injection molds.
  • Strong understanding of mold construction, components, fitting, shutoffs, parting lines, cooling, venting, ejection systems, and preventive maintenance.
  • Ability to troubleshoot mold-related performance and part-quality issues.
  • Strong blueprint reading and GD&T knowledge.
  • Experience with mold-making processes such as CNC machining, EDM, milling, grinding, and turning.
  • Ability and willingness to remain hands-on with tooling and troubleshooting on the manufacturing floor.
  • Strong technical problem-solving and communication skills.

  • Injection molding environments utilizing 55-ton to 300-ton presses.
  • Tooling for commercial and engineering-grade thermoplastic resins.
  • Hot runner systems and complex injection mold tooling.
  • New mold builds and coordination with outside tool shops.
  • Mold trials, validation, qualification, and new product introduction.
  • Tool & Die, Mold Making, Journeyman, or Apprenticeship certification.
  • Experience mentoring or providing technical direction to other Mold Makers.
  • Medical device or regulated manufacturing experience.

    • Senior Mold Maker | Injection Mold Maker | Lead Mold Maker | Tool & Die Maker | Tool Room Lead | Tooling Engineer | Mold Engineer | Tooling Supervisor
    You do not need to currently hold a Manager title to be considered.
    Why This Role Is Different

    We aren't looking for a traditional people manager. We're looking for someone who knows injection molds inside and out and can step in when a mold isn't performing properly, determine why, and drive the solution.


    If you've built your career around injection mold construction, repair, maintenance, and troubleshooting and are ready to expand your impact while remaining technically hands-on, we'd like to talk with you.


    What We Offer
  • Salary range of $110,000 - $145,000+
  • 5k sign on bonus
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off and company-paid holidays
  • Opportunity for professional growth
  • Relocation assistance may be considered for the right candidate

    • Micron Solutions is a contract manufacturing organization specializing in thermoplastic injection molding, precision machining and finishing, and medical manufacturing at our 120,000-square-foot facility in Fitchburg, Massachusetts.
