Tekberry is seeking an experienced Manufacturing Process Technician to support our client, a world-class manufacturer of glass and optical products.
This is an excellent entry-level opportunity for someone with a technical background (AAS degree) or 1-3 years of manufacturing experience who wants to grow their career in process engineering and quality control.

What You'll Do

• Monitor Production: Oversee specialized material-processing steps such as plating, etching, laminating, and polishing to ensure parts are treated correctly.
• Quality Testing: Conduct regular measurements and tests throughout the day. You'll be responsible for checking variables like temperature, density, pressure, and liquid thickness (viscosity) to keep the process in balance.
• Workflow Planning: Help organize the "order of operations." You will follow and refine procedures for cutting and shaping materials to ensure we are working efficiently and safely.
• Solve Problems: Identify routine production issues and implement basic solutions. For more complex challenges, you'll work closely with senior technicians and engineers to find a fix.
• Improve Efficiency: We value your input! You will be encouraged to recommend ways to make our workstations more comfortable and our processes more effective.

What We're Looking For

• Experience: 0-3 years of experience in a manufacturing or production environment.
• Education: An Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree is highly preferred, but not required if you have relevant experience.
• Technical Mindset: A basic understanding of manufacturing terminology and the ability to follow technical procedures accurately.
• Attention to Detail: Ability to use measurement tools and record data with precision.
• Professionalism: You can maintain a steady pace, meet deadlines, and handle sensitive company information with confidentiality.
• Team Player: You work well under supervision but are proactive about suggesting improvements.
