Job Description

Job Description:

A Foam-in-Place Engineer at TS Tech is responsible for developing and maintaining the foam injection process used in automotive components like headrests. When a new product is introduced, they determine the correct amount of foam to inject, adjust polymer ratios, and fine-tune the process to ensure consistent quality.
