Express Employment Professionals of Centennial is hiring a Senior Engineering Manager for a high-level technical leadership opportunity in Centennial, CO. This role

This role bridges the gap between floor operations and customers. You will directly recruit and mentor a high-performing process team, serve as the primary technical point of contact for clients, and manage tool development with external mold shops. Your mission is to build robust, data-driven injection molding processes that optimize cycle times and drastically reduce scrap.

 

Job Highlights:

• Lead, coach, and develop the process engineering team, including staffing planning, recruiting, interviewing, and hiring
• Partner with production leadership to build setup technician capability and ensure consistent process execution across plants
• Represent process engineering in customer technical discussions related to process development, mold performance, sampling, validation, troubleshooting, and production readiness
• Translate customer technical requirements into clear internal engineering actions
• Partner cross-functionally with Quality, Tooling, Operations, and Program Management to meet customer expectations
• Provide injection molding expertise for mold design reviews, tool modifications, sampling plans, and initial tool trials
• Define and develop procedures, documentation standards, and technical expectations for scientific molding and decoupled process development
• Ensure consistent application of standards to maintain capable and repeatable processes across production
• Own the injection molding process validation framework for new product introductions (NPI)

What We Look For:

• 7–10 years of progressive injection molding engineering experience, with 3+ years in a supervisory or leadership role leading process engineers or technical teams.
• Strong mastery of Scientific Molding principles (RJG Master Molder or AIM Molding 2/3 certification is highly preferred).
• Solid understanding of mold design concepts and best practices, hot runner systems, gate design, and the ability to interpret 3D CAD/GD&T files.
• Hands-on technical leader who is visible on the production floor, builds trust with engineering and operations teams, and develops others through coaching, structured troubleshooting, and consistent process discipline.
• Bachelor’s degree in Plastics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Polymer Engineering, or related technical field preferred; equivalent intensive hands-on injection molding experience will be considered.
