About The Position

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.

Requirements

2+ years of experience in a precision manufacturing environment, preferably involving laser welding, electronics assembly, or semiconductor packaging.
Proven ability to operate laser equipment and environmental test chambers.
Ability to interpret complex technical manuals and process instructions with zero deviation.
High level of manual dexterity for handling small, fragile components and performing precision alignments.
Ability to maintain high quality and accuracy while working in a fast-paced, production-driven environment.
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.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with leak detection equipment (e.g., helium leak detectors) is highly preferred.
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.

Responsibilities

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