Body Systems Injection Molding Engineer
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some "Additional Info" about company purpose etc. That's not boilerplate? It's company description; we can keep as prose under a section maybe "About the Company" or "Additional Info". The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we can have sections: About the Role (maybe from "Who We Are Looking For" and "What You Get To Do")? Actually "Who We Are Looking For" is description of role. Could be "About the role". Then "Responsibilities" could be "What You Get To Do". Then "Requirements" or "Qualifications" could be "What You Bring To The Team". Then "Benefits" from Benefits section. Also maybe "Additional Info" could be omitted if it's just fluff? It contains purpose statements, but it's substantive? It's not filler like "commensurate with experience". It's specific about company purpose, benefits, awards. Could be kept as "About the Company" but not listed as allowed headings? Allowed headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can also use other headings? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings when appropriate, but not limited? Probably we should stick to those. So we can map:
- About the role: "Who We Are Looking For" paragraph.
- Responsibilities: "What You Get To Do" bullet list.
- Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: "What You Bring To The Team" could be split into Requirements and Skills. But we can combine into Requirements or Qualifications. Since we prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones, we could have one "Requirements" section covering all. Or we could have "Qualifications" and "Skills". But to avoid many thin sections, maybe just "Requirements". However the posting includes both degree, years experience, knowledge, proficiency, understanding, demonstrated experience, familiarity, communication skills. That's a mix of qualifications and skills. Could be under "Requirements". We'll output one Requirements
with a - list.
- Benefits: from Benefits section.
We should omit Additional Info (company purpose) as it's not in allowed headings and might be considered filler? It's not boilerplate but it's not a standard heading. The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could include as a paragraph under About the role? But it's about company, not role. Might be okay to include as a short
after the sections? But we must not invent sections not listed. Could we just include it as a
without heading? The instruction says output ONLY the HTML fragment; we can include
elements anywhere. It didn't say we must wrap everything in headings. So we can have a
for company info after sections. That seems acceptable.
We must remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes "AI & Hiring Disclosure" which is legal boilerplate; remove. Also social media links etc. Remove those. Also "To view all of our open positions go to:" etc. Remove.
We need to preserve all substantive information: role description, responsibilities, requirements, benefits. Also maybe the "Additional Info" about purpose etc is substantive but not required; but we can keep as a paragraph.

Who We Are Looking For: "We are looking for a hands-on, technically sharp Injection Molding Engineer to join our growing team. This engineer will own the full lifecycle of injection molded components — from tooling concept and mold design through process development, production launch, and ongoing quality assurance — for body system applications across the vehicle."
What You Get To Do: bullet list:
- Be an integral part of an energetic team that's redefining what an electric vehicle can be, with injection molded components at the heart of the body system.
- Review and approve mold designs, manage tooling builds with suppliers, and drive mold qualification (T1-T3 and beyond).
- Develop, validate, and document robust injection molding processes using scientific molding principles — establishing and locking process windows for pressure, temperature, fill rate, pack, hold, and cooling.
- Manage all aspects of injection molded components to meet program requirements including dimensional performance, functional sealing performance, cost, mass, cycle time, and manufacturability.
- Own component quality from mold qualification through production: lead PPAP submissions, develop control plans, drive root cause analysis on defects, and implement corrective actions to ensure zero-escape quality.
- Collaborate with design, manufacturing, and supplier engineering teams to execute DFM reviews, mold flow analysis, and flow analysis, and tolerance studies that eliminate risk early in development.
What You Bring To The Team:
- Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Plastics Engineering, or related field from an ABET accredited university.
- 5+ years of hands-on injection molding engineering experience, spanning tooling design, process development, and production support for high-volume plastic components.
- Deep knowledge of injection mold tooling: cavity and core design, side actions, lifters, hot runner systems, cooling circuit layout, tool steel selection, and mold maintenance practices.
- Proficiency in scientific molding methodology, including systematic process development, DOE, and the use of SPC and process capability metrics to control part quality.
- Strong understanding of thermoplastic and thermoplastic elastomer materials (TPE, TPO, EPDM, PP, PA, PC/ABS) and how material properties affect shrinkage, warpage, sink, and functional performance.
- Demonstrated experience with quality systems and launch tools: APQP, PFMEA, control plans, PPAP, GD&T, MSA, and capability studies in a production injection molding environment.
- Familiarity with mold flow simulation software (Moldex3D, Autodesk Moldflow, or equivalent) and the ability to interpret results to drive tooling and process decisions.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to manage multiple suppliers and cross-functional priorities in a fast-paced, startup environment.
Benefits:
- Medical and Dental (FastTek pays majority of the medical program)
- Vision
- Personal Time Off (PTO) Program
- Long Term Disability (100% paid)
- Life Insurance (100% paid)
- 401(k) with immediate vesting and 3% (of salary) dollar-for-dollar match
- Plus, we have a lucrative employee referral program and an employee recognition culture.
- FastTek Global was named one of the Top Work Places in Michigan by the Detroit Free Press in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 , 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023!
We could keep the award list as part of benefits.
