This role would suit a highly experienced moulding engineer with strong hands-on process knowledge, deep understanding of polymers, and proven experience working closely with mould toolmakers to deliver robust tooling and repeatable manufacturing processes. You will play a key role in developing and optimising moulding processes, resolving tooling and processing issues, supporting new product development, and ensuring moulded components consistently meet demanding product specifications.\nYou will be a key player in our Fluid Path NPI team and help us drive forward our ambitious goals. The core function of Watson-Marlow’s NPI teams is to deliver new products to market. Fluid Path NPI also acts as a custodian of design intent for existing Fluid Path products and must authorize any changes to product or manufacturing processes.\nKey accountabilities include: Lead injection moulding process development, optimisation, troubleshooting, and validation. Fine tune moulding parameters to achieve dimensional, functional, visual, and mechanical product specifications. Provide expert support on polymer selection, material behaviour, and processing characteristics.\nWork closely with mould toolmakers on new mould design, tool trials, modifications, and issue resolution. Support new product introduction from design concept through to production release. Diagnose and resolve moulding defects, tooling issues, material concerns, and process instability.\nEstablish robust process windows and support capability improvement. Review tooling designs and provide input on gating, cooling, venting, ejection, parting lines, and manufacturability. Support validation, quality investigations, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement activity.\nDefine gauging concepts for critical moulded features and product interfaces. Support the design, specification, validation, and implementation of dedicated inspection fixtures and functional gauges. Work with internal or external gauge suppliers to develop robust and repeatable gauging solutions.\nSupport gauge repeatability and reproducibility studies. Ensure gauging strategies are suitable for; Mould trial evaluation, Process validation and production quality control. Ensure metrology and gauging outputs are clearly linked to product specifications and control plans.\nMentor engineers and technicians in best practice injection moulding and tooling principles.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2650,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-03T01:45:58Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":60,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.602,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["conf:4","stale_co","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/spirax-group-process-engineer-lead-injection-moulding","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/spirax-group-process-engineer-lead-injection-moulding.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T10:19:12Z","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":14321,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"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":3011118},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3011118"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fspirax-group-process-engineer-lead-injection-moulding"},{"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%2Fspirax-group-process-engineer-lead-injection-moulding"},{"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%2Fspirax-group-process-engineer-lead-injection-moulding"},{"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/spirax-group-process-engineer-lead-injection-moulding\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fspirax-group-process-engineer-lead-injection-moulding"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3655799}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"spiraxgroup.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3655799},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
