Molding Operator

Moldtronics, Inc.•Downers Grove, IL

7h•$17 - $17•Onsite

About The Position

This role is not for everyone, and that's intentional. You'll spend your shift working with extremely small, high-precision plastic components. We're talking parts measured in millimeters, trimmed and inspected using tweezers, micro-picks, and fine-tip hand tools. You'll use magnification equipment and microscopes to catch defects the naked eye would miss. The work is repetitive by design. Every part needs to meet tight aerospace and medical-grade tolerances. A steady hand, sharp eyes, and a genuine comfort with focused, detail-driven work aren't nice-to-haves here. They're the job. If you thrive when you're locked in on something precise, this will feel like a great fit. If repetitive detail work wears you down, it probably won't.

Requirements

Genuine comfort with fine motor work. You've done it before and you're good at it.
Strong hand-eye coordination, especially with very small objects
The kind of focus that holds up over an 8-hour shift, not just the first hour
Ability to maintain a steady, consistent pace in a production setting
Basic math (addition and subtraction)
Reliable, positive, and willing to learn
18 years of age or older
Must pass a background check
Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder)

Responsibilities

Operate injection molding machines to produce small, tight-tolerance components
Trim and de-gate parts using tweezers, micro-picks, and fine-tip hand tools
Inspect components under magnification and microscopy for defects and irregularities
Maintain consistent output while hitting strict quality standards every cycle
Document defects, production counts, and quality data accurately
Package finished components to exact specification
