We currently have an exciting opportunity for an Engineer to work within our Micro-Machining Group. This position, working under general supervision and with ongoing review, supports the engineering and technician staff in electroplating operations, chemical processing, quality control inspection, metrology, and packaging of precision micro-machined components produced for high energy density plasma physics experiments conducted by National Laboratory scientists.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

Perform electroplating operations with various metals including gold, copper, and other advanced materials on small (<4 mm) micro-machined components per standard operating procedures in small batch production scale quantities.
Execute associated chemical etching and leaching processes to prepare surfaces and achieve specified coating requirements.
Maintain electroplating bath chemistry within established parameters for optimal processing, including monitoring pH, temperature, current density, and chemical composition.
Troubleshoot plating defects and adjust process parameters to achieve desired coating quality and thickness.
Read and interpret engineering drawings to understand component specifications, plating requirements, and dimensional tolerances.
Determine appropriate plating thickness, material selection, and process parameters based on drawing specifications.
Plan production sequences and implement process improvements to enhance reliability and efficiency.
Inspect plated components for coating thickness, uniformity, adhesion, and surface finish.
Perform dimensional metrology using precision measurement equipment including measuring microscopy, optical profilometry, and other measurement techniques as required.
Conduct comprehensive quality control inspections of components to established ISO 9001 Quality Assurance procedures.
Ensure compliance with Quality Control documentation and maintain accurate records.
Package inspected components according to specifications for shipment to customers.
Document findings and implemented solutions; communicate results to project staff.
Record and summarize production and test data.
Prepare tables, plots, and written reports; present information to peers and supervisors in oral and written formats.
Revise production data recording for accuracy and amend procedures to improve yield, efficiency, and product quality.
Assist in the installation and assembly of precision equipment and metrology stations.
Support senior staff in the analysis and recording of data for various micro-machined component processes.
Work in a safe manner in accordance with established operating procedures and practices, particularly when handling chemicals and hazardous materials.
Perform other duties as assigned or required.

We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.

Job Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, Electrochemistry, or related technical discipline from an accredited institution.
Understanding of electrochemistry principles, including electrode kinetics, current distribution, and mass transport.
Knowledge of metal plating processes and bath chemistry management.
Familiarity with chemical etching and surface preparation techniques.
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, including geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
Basic understanding of engineering concepts, principles, and theory.
Ability to follow and apply engineering knowledge, adapt standard techniques, and utilize required diagnostics, tools, and equipment while ensuring safety and regulatory compliance.
