Job Summary

As a Process Technician II, you will be a primary operator on our metal finishing lines, running anodize and related chemical processing operations on aerospace components.

  • Load and rack aluminum parts for processing, ensuring proper electrical contact, correct masking of critical surfaces, and compliance with the process traveler.
  • Monitor and control rectifier settings (amperage, voltage, cycle time) and tank temperatures to achieve specified coating thickness and appearance.
  • Perform and document bath chemistry analysis including sulfuric acid concentration, aluminum content, and dissolved solids; make bath additions and adjustments as required.
  • Operate rinsing stations, etch tanks, desmut/deox tanks, and sealing systems in accordance with process requirements.
  • Support Chem Film (Type I and II) and Passivation operations in accordance with MIL-DTL-5541, AMS 2412, AMS 2700, and other applicable specifications.
  • Advice engineering and leadership teams on procedures and fixture designs.

In-Process Quality Checks

  • Perform in-process inspections including visual checks for burn, pitting, streaking, bare spots, and other process anomalies.
  • Conduct in-process coating thickness measurements using eddy-current or other approved methods to verify process conformance before parts are released to Quality.
  • Identify and immediately communicate non-conformances or process deviations to the supervisor and Quality team.
  • Accurately complete job travelers, process logs, bath records, and in-process inspection records to ensure full traceability.

Safety & Environmental Compliance

  • Follow all OSHA, EPA, and company protocols when handling hazardous chemicals including sulfuric acid, caustic solutions, chromate compounds, and process waste streams.
  • Use and maintain required PPE (chemical-resistant gloves, apron, face shield, respirator) at all times when working with chemicals.
  • Support proper chemical waste disposal and wastewater treatment operations in compliance with applicable regulations.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment at all times.

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

  • Partner with the Quality team and Technician Supervisor to resolve process issues, reduce scrap, and meet customer delivery commitments.
  • Participate in training programs, process audits, and NADCAP-related activities as required.
