MicroFill Technician

The MicroFill Technician plays a key role in supporting physical manufacturing, material logistics, and procedural controls on the MicroFill development production line. MicroFill is an agile, risk-scaled R&D manufacturing environment rather than a commercial production facility. This role combines hands-on assembly, liquid filling, packaging operations, material accountability, inventory reconciliation, line clearance, and Good Documentation Practices (GDP). The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, quality-focused, safety-conscious, and comfortable working in a cleanroom environment.

Manufacturing, Assembly & Production Operations

• Assist with setup, startup, and manual/semi-automated production activities across the 13-station Collector Subassembly (CSA) manufacturing line.
• Operate and monitor automated pod-filling equipment to fill, assemble, and seal vapor cartridges.
• Set up and operate packaging equipment for blister tray sealing and flow wrap pouching.
• Perform and document required First Article Inspections (FAIs).
• Operate leak-testing equipment as part of packaging and quality inspection activities.
• Follow approved procedures, work instructions, assembly flow diagrams, and manufacturing drawings.

Material Control & Receiving

• Perform receiving and verification activities for incoming materials.
• Verify quantities, inspect container integrity, and document receiving information in the tracking database.
• Segregate incoming materials and apply appropriate material status labels.
• Maintain accurate material identification and accountability throughout the manufacturing process.

Line Clearance & Material Reconciliation

• Perform thorough line clearance before and after each R&D production run.
• Maintain strict material segregation to prevent cross-contamination and product/component mix-ups.
• Conduct end-of-run physical counts of active, scrapped, and rejected components.
• Document material reconciliation accurately in applicable batch records.
• Maintain compliance with Good Documentation Practices (GDP) and established procedures.

Education & Experience

• High school diploma or equivalent required.
• 1–3 years of experience in manufacturing, assembly, laboratory, cleanroom, or a similar production environment strongly preferred.
• Experience working with small or precision components is a plus.

Skills & Competencies

• Ability to understand and follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), work instructions, assembly diagrams, and technical drawings.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality and safety.
• Ability to accurately document production activities and maintain material accountability.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to follow established processes.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced R&D manufacturing environment.
• Must successfully complete all required training and demonstrate competency before independently operating any production station.

Physical & Work Environment Requirements

• Ability to perform fine-motor assembly and handling of small/micro-components.
• Ability to sit or stand for extended periods while working in a cleanroom environment.
• Ability to lift and handle materials weighing up to 25 lbs.
• Comfortable wearing standard cleanroom PPE, including ESD coat, hairnet, safety glasses, gloves, and beard cover, when applicable.
