Pay 20-30/hr *depending on experience Description

1. Position Summary & Objectives The MicroFill Technician plays a vital role in executing physical manufacturing, material logistics, and procedural controls on the MicroFill development production line. MicroFill is an agile, risk-scaled R&D line rather than a commercial facility. You will balance hands-on assembly, liquid filling, and packaging operations with rigorous material accountability, line clearances, inventory reconciliation, and Good Documentation Practices (GDP).
2. Key Operational Responsibilities

• Phase 1 – Collector Subassembly (CSA): Assist with set up, start-up, and manual/semi-automated execution of tasks across the 13-station CSA manufacturing line.
• Phase 2 – Pod Filling Operations: Operate and monitor automated pod filling systems to fill, assemble, and seal vapor cartridges.
• Phase 3 – Packaging Operations: Set up and operate packaging machinery for Blister Tray Sealing and Flow Wrap Pouching and execute and document mandatory First Article Inspections, including using leak testing equipment.

• Receiving & Verification: Execute receiving checks. Segregate incoming physical shipments, verify counts, inspect container integrity, log details into the tracking database, and label materials with appropriate status.
• Line Clearance & Material Segregation: Perform rigid line clearance procedures before and after each R&D run to eliminate cross-contamination risks and ensure zero mix-up between product generations.
• End-of-Run Material Reconciliation: Perform exact physical counts of all active, scrapped, and rejected components post-build. Document final reconciliation data in the appropriate sections of Batch Records.

• Education & Experience: High school diploma with 1-3 years of manufacturing, assembly, laboratory, or cleanroom experience (strongly preferred).
• Quality & Standards Focus: Comprehension of standard operating procedures, assembly flow diagrams, and drawings. A strong commitment to quality and safety is essential.
• Training & Accountability: Must complete and sign all training requirements before working independently on any station.
• Physical Requirements: Demonstrated ability to perform fine-motor assembly tasks, sit or stand for extended periods in cleanroom environments, and handle micro-components. Ability to lift up to 25 lbs and comfortable wearing standard cleanroom PPE (ESD coat, hairnets, safety glasses, gloves, and beard covers if applicable).
