From cars and aerospace systems to medical devices and packaging, most physical goods begin life in a mold or are shaped by a manufacturing tool. Producing these tools has always been slow, manual, and dependent on scarce expertise, taking weeks or months. We’re changing that.\nAt our Detroit headquarters, we combine the industrial DNA of America’s manufacturing heartland with the speed, intelligence, and precision of Silicon Valley. Our AI-driven platform tackles the hardest problems in geometry, process planning, and fabrication, collapsing production timelines from months to days and soon, minutes. We don’t just build software; we run a fully operational factory where our technology produces production-grade tooling every week, enabling tight feedback loops and rapid iteration.\nBacked by top-tier investors, we’re restoring speed, flexibility, and capability to the American industrial base. Our mission is to make manufacturing as agile and scalable as the digital world, and in doing so, rebuild the infrastructure of the physical economy.\nPosition Overview\nWe are seeking a detail-oriented and technically savvy Injection Molding Cost Estimator to support quoting, pricing strategy, and business development. This role bridges engineering, tooling, and operations-turning customer RFQs into clear, competitive, and accurate proposals.\nYou’ll analyze part geometry, material specs, mold complexity, and production volumes to model cost scenarios and recommend pricing strategies aligned with Atomic’s margin goals and value proposition.\nKey Responsibilities\nReview and analyze RFQs, part files, prints, and customer requirements\n\nEstimate complete part cost: material, cycle time, labor, machine time, overhead, and secondary ops\n\nQuote mold/tooling costs using internal templates and inputs from tooling team\n\nIdentify and model different pricing strategies: full tool cost, subsidized tooling, or tooling at cost\n\nWork with Sales and Engineering to create compelling proposals and timelines\n\nTrack historical data and build cost models that improve over time\n\nAssist in evaluating “free tool” models based on volume and piece price tradeoffs\n\nCollaborate with the software team to help automate cost modeling and quoting workflows\n\nSupport profitability analysis and pricing revisions as part of commercial negotiations\n\nQualifications\n3+ years of cost estimating experience in injection molding, tool & die, or manufacturing\n\nStrong understanding of manufacturing cost structures: material, machine rates, overhead, labor\n\nFamiliar with part costing software (e.g., Excel models, aPriori, ProEst, or similar tools)\n\nAble to read 2D prints and interpret 3D CAD models\n\nExcellent Excel/Sheets skills; experience with quoting databases and CRM tools a plus\n\nBonus: Exposure to mold design, tooling build, or engineering change quoting\n\nBonus: Experience pricing in automotive, consumer goods, or medical molding industries\n\nWhat You’ll Get\nCompetitive pay, benefits, and equity opportunity\n\nDirect input into quoting workflows that connect engineering and sales\n\nA front-row seat in building smarter, faster quoting systems through software and data\n\nAbility to influence customer relationships and drive strategic decisions","description_format":"text","description_chars":3324,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Plastics & Polymers","Industrial Machinery","Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T20:37:14Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":4,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.153,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":253,"expected_fill_days":31,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/atomic-industries-quality-technician-injection-molding","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/atomic-industries-quality-technician-injection-molding.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T19:21:25Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":28343,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2329167},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2329167"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fatomic-industries-quality-technician-injection-molding"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fatomic-industries-quality-technician-injection-molding"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fatomic-industries-quality-technician-injection-molding"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/atomic-industries-quality-technician-injection-molding\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fatomic-industries-quality-technician-injection-molding"}]}
