X-ray Manufacturing Technician, Level II (SB)

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.
