The Company
The company was founded in 2016 after winning the Scottish Higgs EDGE 2016 for its development of a Graphene layer manufacturing process. The transformational process (patent pending) is disruptive as it enables the use of Graphene in an unlimited number of applications. Industry standard cycle times to produce Graphene are in the region of 16 hours making it cost-prohibitive for applications. The company’s design for manufacture (DfM) process creates 3D graphene in seconds and therefore enables high volume manufacture.
To support the technical development team, we are looking for a manufacturing technician to support our team of scientists and engineers dedicated to developing products in the energy markets.
The Role
The role will require you to undertake a range of tasks within the manufacturing process. You will ensure that manufacturing standards are met for production and all documentation is up to date. You will be involved in entire process from ordering raw materials to prototype assembly for test.
You will be working in a fast-paced environment to manufacture high value, high performance supercapacitor assemblies through various production processes. Processes include, but not limited to hand assembly, inspection under a microscope, laser technology, vacuum system, outgassing, and chemical cleaning. You must be able to operate effectively with minimal supervision and meet the touch time required for each process.
Key Responsibility Areas
- Work within in a hand assembly production setting using a wide variety of technologies and processes
- Follow SOP's at all times
- Work in accordance with Health & Safety legislation, COSHH guidelines, and quality requirements
- Update manufacture records and input data onto systems
- You will demonstrate personal pride in building a quality product on time and to cost target
- You will carry out manufacturing assembly of supercapacitor prototypes, production of graphene electrodes and QC testing
The successful candidate will have the following education and experience:
Education and Skills
- Degree Educated (desirable) although candidates with HNC/HND and experience will be considered
- Background in physics / lasers (desirable)
- A good general technical and electro-mechanical mind-set e.g. understanding of electrical and mechanical documentation
- Understanding of electrical and mechanical safety standards
- Able to prioritise tasks effectively, and work in an efficient manner
- Excellent communication skills, and good working knowledge of Microsoft Office
Experience
- Experience with hand assembly production line
- Experience with laser technology
- Experience with chemical cleaning
- Experience with vacuum production systems
Please note we can only deal with applications from Candidates who are eligible to work in the UK.
