Manufacturing AI Expert

Molex makes a connected world possible by enabling technologies that transform the future and improve lives.

With a presence in more than 40 countries, Molex offers a complete range of connectivity products, services and solutions for the data communications, medical, industrial, automotive and consumer electronics industries.

Your Job

Molex is a global leader in connectivity solutions, serving customers across the automotive, industrial, data communications, consumer electronics, healthcare, and telecommunications industries.

As part of our digital transformation journey, we are accelerating the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across our manufacturing operations to drive improvements in productivity, quality, maintenance, planning, inventory management, and supply chain performance.

Our Team

Molex is establishing a team of Manufacturing AI Experts to apply AI and advanced analytics to real-world manufacturing challenges and deliver measurable improvements across key sites.

This role is designed for a hands-on, business-oriented AI expert who can connect manufacturing needs with practical AI solutions-not an AI-modeling role in isolation.

The primary focus of the role will be:



* Quality improvement, including real-time inspection, defect reduction, and closed-loop quality systems.


* Predictive maintenance and AI-enabled equipment management.


* Production and supply planning optimization, including forecasting, scheduling, resource allocation, and decision support.


* Manufacturing productivity and throughput improvement, including bottleneck identification and OEE improvement.


* Inventory and supply chain optimization where AI can improve planning, risk identification, replenishment, and inventory performance.


* Digital transformation and practical adoption of AI across manufacturing operations.

This role will be ideally in a Molex location preferably in Lisle/Chicago, Detroit, Harrisburg, Atlanta, GA or Texas.

What You Will Do

Manufacturing & Quality Improvement


* Identify high-impact manufacturing problems and opportunities where AI and advanced analytics can improve quality, productivity, cost, or operational performance.


* Develop and deploy practical AI solutions for real-time inspection, defect detection, root-cause analysis, and closed-loop quality improvement.


* Analyze manufacturing bottlenecks and improve throughput and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).


* Partner with operations, quality, engineering, and site teams to implement data-driven continuous improvement.

Predictive Maintenance & Equipment Management


* Identify equipment and maintenance use cases suitable for AI and predictive analytics.


* Develop and deploy predictive maintenance solutions and AI-enabled equipment-management capabilities.


* Translate equipment data into actionable recommendations that improve reliability, availability, and maintenance decision-making.
