The role follows approved procedures and escalates decisions outside its authority to the appropriate lead, Engineering, or Quality team.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare ceramic slurry batches to approved formulas; verify material identity, quantities, mixing sequence, equipment status, and required batch measurements before moving the batch to the next operation under the approved workflow.
• Set up, change over, operate, and monitor assigned cleanroom production equipment. Verify recipe settings and process parameters against the applicable traveler, work instruction, and specification before starting and during production.
• Perform and record in-process measurements and inspections using approved instruments and methods. Interpret results, recognize trends or out-of-specification conditions, and promptly stop, contain, and escalated affected work according to procedure.
• Troubleshoot first-line process and equipment issues using observations, alarms, data, and technical documentation. Complete authorized adjustments and minor maintenance; coordinate more complex repairs or process changes with Maintenance and Engineering.

• Support investigations, trials, and process improvements by collecting reliable data, documenting observations, and implementing approved corrective actions or revised work instructions.
• Train and guide Cleanroom Technician I employees on approved procedures, safe equipment operation, documentation, and quality checks; reinforce standards and raise training gaps to the supervisor.
• Plan and complete assigned work reliably, communicate delays or risks early, and support production priorities without bypassing safety, quality, or cleanroom controls.
