Quality Technician

In collaboration with process engineering, system design engineering and business development, the QC Technician (QCT) is involved in the inspection of customer samples, prototypes, and products for printed electronics applications. This is a position requiring flexibility, versatility, technical aptitude and attention to detail. The Printed Electronics organization uses production-scale assets and processes for both development and production work. Processes include flexographic printing, electroless plating, end‑of‑line testing and packaging.

The QCT will be cross trained on all inspection equipment and is expected to develop sufficient mastery for independent work in all aspects of the quality assurance process flow. Up to 25% of time is spent in either a Class 6 or 7 clean room, with the remaining time spent in a QC lab or office environment.
