Manufacturing Technician

This role supports the production of advanced ion-beam deposition systems used to create ultra-precise thin-film coatings for AI data centers and other cutting-edge applications.

About the role

As a Manufacturing Technician 3, you serve as the final technical checkpoint between the build floor and the customer, troubleshooting and testing complete systems and sub-systems to ensure they meet rigorous specifications. You work closely with Engineering and R&D to resolve complex issues, analyze test data, and drive corrective actions that protect product quality and keep production schedules on track.

Responsibilities

• Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues discovered during system and sub-system testing, working closely with Engineering and R&D to bring each system to full specification.
• Own the corrective-action loop for test discrepancies by analyzing test data, identifying root causes, coordinating fixes with Manufacturing Engineering and Assembly Test Technicians, and driving issues to closure.
• Manage and maintain all manufacturing test data for acceptance testing, ensuring records remain accurate, complete, and audit-ready from initial testing through final sign-off.
• Compile and interpret statistical reports for each system during final test, transforming raw test data into clear, objective evidence that a tool is ready for shipment.
• Continuously improve test processes by refining existing test methods for current systems and collaborating with Engineering to develop new test methods for future products and components.
• Confirm that each system meets all specifications and performance criteria before release, acting as the technical gatekeeper for both customer satisfaction and production schedules.
• Perform electrical measurements, including voltage checks, using tools such as oscilloscopes and other diagnostic equipment to validate system performance.
• Interpret and work from electrical schematics and technical documentation to support troubleshooting, wiring, and system verification.
• Support safe operation and testing of high-vacuum, high-voltage, and high-power systems by following established safety practices and procedures.
• Collaborate and communicate effectively with assembly technicians, Engineering, leadership, customers, and sales teams to share findings, escalate issues, and provide clear status updates.
• Utilize SAP and other enterprise systems, where applicable, to perform inquiries, generate reports, and execute relevant transactions related to test and manufacturing activities.
