These activities primarily include the manufacturing of extruded ingot materials and secondarily including various substeps in a supporting role for additional ingot manufacturing processes. Employee will follow written procedures and established instructions.\nPrimary Duties & Responsibilities\nPreparation and Production of Extruded Ingot Materials\nIngots are manufactured and delivered on time to internal and external customers by set-up and operation of ingot production steps\n\nLoading and unloading of ingots from furnaces for alloying and quenching of compounded raw materials in sealed containers.\n\nHeat Treatment Furnace operation for sintering and post extrusion process steps, with material prepared and heat treated with correct processing programs called out from various equipment controllers by loging in recalling the correct program\n\nOperation of Sand Blasting Cabinet to remove surface layer of material, including changing of abrasive media at regular intervals.\n\nEquipment preparation including the cleaning of growth chambers and extrusion dies, with the use of power tools required.\n\nExtrusion equipment operation including chamber to ram alignment and use of human machine interface controller.\n\nUse of sliding table wet cutoff saw for sectioning extruded materials for post extrusion processing.\n\nConsumables and supplies used in

fashion upon completion of kits\n\nEnsure toos used in processes are calibrated and send to repair/calibration on time\n\nRemoving, cutting, testing and grading of Ingot Materials\nPrepare ingots and ingot samples for testing of ingot properties and performance evaluation.\n\nRemoval of ingots/billets from tubes and cut to correct lengths.\n\nCorrectly mark and label ingots per established specifications and documentations.\n\nMeasurement of ingot resistance properties and grade against the established specification.\n\nPrepare TE material samples through FE element processing steps to plate, dice, dismount to get them ready for thermoelectric property measurement using established procedures and grade against documented specification.\n\nProduce and support of other ingot production\nCross train for preparation of Bridman ingot compounds as required by the schedule and deliver to alloying process\n\nCorss train and support sealing of quartz using Hydrogen-Oxygen torch, heat treatment and profiling aspect of Bridgman ingots when needed\n\nIngot test samples are prepared and anlysis completed for material performance and evaluation\n\nPrepare ingots and pack for external and internal customer shipment per established procedure\n\nSupport of the product realization processes\nHelp R&D perform new ingot product development projects by performing some of the tasks related to the required processes\n\nTrain other production personnel for his/her own primary responsibilities as well as be willing to train for other processes in the area as back up personnel to run production in case of urgent needs\n\nCoordinate with Maintenance group to perform accurate periodic profile verification of the ovens and document the results in formats set up by the Process Engineer\n\nProvide help to ingot production supervisory to perform accurate monthly material count and inventory for reporting to production control\n\nHelp to stock raw material supplies from the warehouse as coordinated by the line supervisor\n\nPackage and prepare materials to move to warehouse with correct labeling requirments for external customer shipment.\n\nPerform simple equipment maintenance and housekeeping tasks proactively\n\nDocumentation and Business\nAccurate data entry on travelers and into process programs and into Kronos time keeping for hours charges\n\nAccurate and timely completion of all documentation according to the process\n\nReview/audit department processes for continuous improvement, cycle time and cost reduction opportunities\n\nWork as a part of a team or independently to perform functional testing of ingots and materials.\n\nWork with department personnel to meet department and company objectives\n\nDevelop business and personal goals\n\nSpecial assignments are handled promptly and professionally\n\nDepartment processes are ISO9001 and ITAR compliant\n\nOther\nAdditional production support activities include vacuum sealing of tubes using
