Epoxy Process Engineering Technician

U.S. citizenship is required, along with the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government-issued DoD Secret security clearance. An active and existing security clearance is required from day one.

About the role

Our multi-disciplined Process Engineering team performs hands-on problem solving in a collaborative and fast-paced manufacturing environment. We are subject matter experts for processes and materials in a cleanroom environment focused on radiofrequency (RF) microelectronic packaging and surface mount technology. This hands-on role confronts new projects and challenges daily, requiring cross-functional collaboration in both cutting-edge automation and mature production processes.

We develop and implement materials and process improvements while providing production support using analytical techniques such as statistical process control, experimental designs, material analysis, mechanical design analysis, and root cause analysis. We evaluate materials, equipment, and processes (including qualification, acceptance testing, and specification development) and interface with key internal and external suppliers to resolve technical issues.

We are a team of highly engaged engineers and technicians from diverse backgrounds and experience levels, sustaining a culture of support, growth, and recognition. We seek candidates who are hands-on, proactive, accountable, good communicators, adaptable in a fast-paced environment, experienced in automated manufacturing, and ready to solve unique problems daily.
