Conformal Coating Operator bei Emerald Technologies

Emerald Technologies has an exciting opportunity for a skillful Conformal Coater to join its Brea, CA team! Conformal Coating Operators perform masking, epoxying, and other fine motor skills to printed circuit boards to ensure quality is on par with customer specifications. Qualified candidates must have a strong attention to detail, hand-eye coordination, precise movements, and skilled hand-tool usage to manipulate small objects or perform delicate tasks with hands and fingers. This position frequently is required to sit while applying conformal coating to areas of the printed circuit boards that the machines cannot cover or spray. To maintain the health and safety of our team and customers, face masks must be worn while working on-site. This aligns with our company's overall health and safety program as there is regular exposure to coating materials: parylene, humiseal, acrylics, urethanes, epoxies, etc.

At Emerald Technologies each employee has a significant role in building innovative products for various industries. Come and work in a supportive, fun team atmosphere where the work is meaningful, and careers have no limits!
