Manufacturing Engineer - GCC - Injection Molding (US Shift)
As the Injection Moulding Subject Matter Expert for global manufacturing operations, you will serve as the vital technical bridge between our customers and our supplier network, meticulously translating complex design intent into high-quality, manufacturable solutions. Your focus will be on strengthening and scaling capabilities across our global vendor base, driving technical excellence to ensure every production program is both cost-effective and operationally efficient. By providing strategic guidance and optimizing processes, you will enable accelerated product launches and superior outcomes across diverse industries. Ultimately, you will ensure that all technical activities are seamlessly aligned with our organization’s vision to establish the world's leading hardware manufacturing platform.
In this role, you will own and drive technical costing strategies and lead Design for Manufacturability/Assembly (DFM/DFA) initiatives, delivering optimized solutions that balance performance, manufacturability, tooling investment, and long-term unit economics. You will lead program industrialization and scale-up by transitioning products from prototype and low-volume builds to high-volume injection moulding production, including part redesign, material selection, tolerance optimization, and tooling architecture. Additionally, you will collaborate across multiple manufacturing domains, supporting CNC machining, additive manufacturing (3DP), and sheet metal projects to deliver flexible, end-to-end customer solutions.
The ideal candidate will have 6–7 years of hands-on experience in Injection Moulding manufacturing, with 2–3 years in Injection mold design and development, and 2–3 years as a tool maker/tooling engineer. Strong knowledge in CNC machining is required, with basic knowledge of 3DP and Sheet metal being an added advantage. Expertise in injection moulding cost estimation (tooling and part cost) and a deep understanding of DFM/DFx principles for plastic components are essential. Solid knowledge of material selection, shrinkage behavior, wall thickness optimization, common moulding defects and mitigation techniques, and working knowledge of Mold flow analysis are also required. Exposure to die casting or similar processes is a plus, along with strong cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management skills.
This position offers the opportunity to unlock your creativity by working in an environment that encourages trying big, bold ideas to achieve sales and customer goals. At Fictiv, you'll be surrounded by supportive teammates who will push you to be your best through their curiosity and passion.
