Define and document robust processing windows (temperature, pressure, cooling time, screw speed, back pressure, etc.). Conduct structured process optimisation using Design of Experiments (DOE) methodologies and statistical analysis. Apply Process Capability (CP) and Process Capability Index (CPK) analysis to assess process capability and ensure production robustness in line with Six Sigma principles (ISO 13053). Establish scientifically grounded relationships between material properties and moulding performance (flow, shrinkage, warpage, weld lines, surface finish). Define material specifications suitable for industrial moulding environments. Factory Trials & Production Scale Up Lead and execute factory trials at internal pilot facilities and external manufacturing sites. Translate R&D scale learnings into full industrial moulding environments. Adapt processes across different machine platforms, tooling configurations, and factory setups. Ensure all trial parameters, deviations, and results are clearly documented and translated into Standard Operation Procedures (SOPs). Support handover from development to steady state production. Anticipate and mitigate scale up risks through structured planning and pre trial analysis. Ability to operate within production constraints such as uptime requirements, operator skill variability and machine limitations. Technical Troubleshooting & Root Cause Analysis Diagnose and resolve moulding defects (short shots, sink marks, flash, burn marks, voids, warpage, dimensional instability). Lead structured root cause analysis using methodologies such as FMEA and 8D. Address material related processing issues including moisture sensitivity, degradation, thermal stability, and rheological variability. Implement corrective and preventative actions to improve yield and reduce scrap rates. Tooling & Equipment Interaction Work closely with toolmakers to optimise gate design, runner systems, cooling channels, and venting strategies. Provide DFM (Design for Manufacture) input to product and tooling design teams. Evaluate and specify injection moulding equipment suitable for new product requirements. Support tool trials (T0, T1, T2 stages) and drive improvements prior to production release. External Manufacturing & Partner Management Act as the primary technical interface between the company and external moulding factories. Build strong working relationships with factory engineers, production managers, and machine operators. Ensure manufacturing partners adhere to defined process windows and quality standards. Coordinate and oversee joint development and optimisation trials with external partners. Salary Total compensation package depending on experience: £38,000 - £57,500 (base salary + EMI Share Options)
