Position Purpose/Summary: The Manufacturing Technician II will support the manufacturing engineering team and production teams in the Braze/Seal areas. The ideal candidate will have some experience in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) manufacturing, brazing, and vacuum oven-based manufacturing processes. Candidate should possess knowledge of cleanroom processing principles, strong problem-solving skills, and experience with root-cause analysis. This technical role will recommend corrective actions in collaboration with design, manufacturing, and quality teams. Essential Duties: • Support the X-ray business unit in the braze/seal area by sustaining current processes, documenting manufacturing practices, and identifying root causes of failures using structured problem-solving methodologies (Fault Tree Analysis, DOE, 8D). • Collaborate with engineers and technicians to implement process improvements using corrective action preventive action plans (CAPA). • Use data analysis to track and trend failure and scrap data to identify systemic issues in products and equipment. • Support scrap cost-reduction initiatives through process and design improvements. • Collaborate with the maintenance technicians to track and resolve equipment issues. • Under supervision of engineers, support the qualification of new equipment or after the equipment has been modified. • Document test results and failure findings in standardized Company reports. Key Competencies: To perform the job successfully, the individual should demonstrate the following competencies to perform the essential functions of this position: • Strong analytical skills for correlating data, test results, and physical evidence (required). • Experience with SPC, DOE, and other statistical analysis methods (required). • Experience with statistical analysis software like JMP, R, or Minitab (preferred). • Ability to work with cross-function teams to determine causes of product failures and put in place corrective actions to prevent further failures. Education and Experience: • Associate degree in Electronics, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or related field (preferred). • 2-4 years of experience in a manufacturing or engineering support role (preferred). • Green belt certified (preferred). • Familiarity with X-ray systems, vacuum technology, or radiation safety (preferred). • Experience with root cause analysis and process improvement. • Experience in using oscilloscopes, multimeters, and other diagnostic tools. • Ability to read and interpret engineering documentation and BOMs. • Self-driven with strong attention to detail and commitment to quality. • Excellent communication and documentation skills.
