Position Summary
The Laser Seal Technician is responsible for performing high-precision hermetic sealing and laser welding operations on critical components. This role requires a meticulous approach to following detailed process instructions to ensure product integrity and reliability. The technician will operate specialized laser equipment, conduct environmental stress testing, and perform precision de-lidding in a fast-paced, high-accountability manufacturing environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Laser Welding & Hermetic Sealing: Perform precision laser welding to create hermetic seals on components, ensuring all seals meet strict vacuum and leak-rate specifications.
• Environmental Stress Testing: Execute environmental stress screening (ESS), including thermal cycling and vibration testing, to validate the integrity of the seals and the durability of the components.
• Precision De-lidding: Perform machine de-lidding operations to access internal components for inspection, rework, or failure analysis without damaging the substrate.
• Process Adherence: Strictly follow written process instructions, engineering drawings, and quality checklists to ensure consistency and compliance with aerospace and defense standards.
• Equipment Operation: Set up, calibrate, and operate laser welding stations and environmental test chambers; perform basic troubleshooting and routine maintenance on machinery.
• Quality Control: Conduct visual inspections and utilize measurement tools to verify weld quality and seal integrity, documenting all results in the manufacturing execution system.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to stand for extended periods.
• Ability to use microscopes and precision hand tools for long durations.
• Visual acuity required for the inspection of micro-welds.

• Experience: 2+ years of experience in a precision manufacturing environment, preferably involving laser welding, electronics assembly, or semiconductor packaging.
• Technical Skills: Proven ability to operate laser equipment and environmental test chambers. Familiarity with leak detection equipment (e.g., helium leak detectors) is highly preferred.
• Attention to Detail: Ability to interpret complex technical manuals and process instructions with zero deviation.
• Dexterity: High level of manual dexterity for handling small, fragile components and performing precision alignments.
• Adaptability: Ability to maintain high quality and accuracy while working in a fast-paced, production-driven environment.

• Certification in laser safety or specialized welding techniques.
• Experience working within ISO 9001 or AS9100 quality management systems.
• Prior experience with cleanroom protocols and ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) prevention.
