Description

Description Moldtronics, Inc. | Downers Grove, IL | Full-Time Hiring 2 shifts 1st Shift: 7:40 AM to 4:10 PM | $17/hr. 2nd Shift: 4:00 PM to 12:30 AM | $17/hr. with a $1 Shift Differential About Moldtronics Founded in 1955, Moldtronics is a privately held contract manufacturer in Downers Grove, IL. We're ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D certified, and we produce precision components for aerospace, medical, defense, and commercial industries, all under one roof. Quality isn't a department here. It's everyone's job. What You'll Actually Be Doing 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. Day-to-Day 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 What We're Looking For 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 Requirements Requirements 18 years of age or older Must pass a background check Must be a U.S. Person (U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder) Work Environment Clean, organized production floor Primarily standing throughout the shift Frequent precision hand work with small components Occasional lifting up to 30 lbs Close vision required. You'll be working under magnification regularly. Benefits Medical (Aetna PPO and HDHP with HSA), Dental (Principal PPO), and Vision (VSP) Company-paid Life Insurance and Long-Term Disability Short-Term Disability, Accident, and Hospital Indemnity Insurance 401(k) with 3% company match and access to a Retirement Planning Advisor Paid Time Off + 10 paid holidays per year
