Brief Posting Description:
The disc form operator is responsible for the make / form / test of customized snap acting bimetal discs used to sense and react to changes in ambient temperature conditions, which form the core of a thermostat device. These temperature sensing devices are used in a diverse portfolio of custom and catalog offering of hermetically sealed thermostats used in the Aerospace, Defense and other related industries at our Attleboro, MA facility.
Job Summary:
The Disc Form Operator will work from detailed routers to identify the material, equipment and form tool operations needed to achieve a disc with the desired operating temperature setpoints. i.e. (Top Temperature) / (Bottom Temperature), as needed. The target disc form will be verified by testing in a series of fluid baths (water/alcohol/oil) to validate the desired temperature behavior for the given form lot. Once trained, the operator will work self-directed to perform the necessary adjustments to achieve the desired disc snap behavior. As most of the parts the operator will be working with are approximate to the size of a dime, small part dexterity is a must.
A strong attention to detail and a high degree of patience is a necessary as some disc tolerances require iterative make & test cycles ensuring the operator has achieved the optimum form for the given temperature setpoints. Experience in small part assembly or medical device are desired, but not necessary, moreover the successful candidate should possess some of the following key capabilities....
• Basic math skills
• Good eyesight to observe changes in material behavior.
• Ability to stand for prolong periods.
• Experience with measurement tools such as micrometers or verniers is a plus.
• Prior experience with resistance welding equipment (Contact welding)
• Pneumatic & Hydraulic Press setup & operation (Die sets, stops and input pressure.)
• Defect Identification (Visual & Microscopic)
• Basic computer skills for equipment inputs and operation.
• Ability to work overtime, when needed.
Additionally, the working environment is classified as light manufacturing, where ambient temperature is monitored/controlled year around.
. Essential Functions:
• Work with Manufacturing Team Leaders & Engineers in the ability to identify nonconformances with material, equipment & tooling to guarantee quality of product build.
• Ability to identify known good setup, prior to production build.
• Provide inputs to seek continuous improvement activities to reduce material scrap and improve yields.
Qualifications:
• High school diploma or GED required.
• Experience working in a manufacturing or industrial setting preferred.
• Possess strong organizational skills, a positive attitude and the ability to work well as a team.
• Ability to read and comprehend written instructions, as well as, comprehend verbal instructions and effectively communicate verbally.
• Ability to self-start yet take orders as directed.
• Consistent and punctual attendance required. Must be available to work assigned shifts and required overtime.
