The Process Engineer - Chemical is a pivotal role at TTM Technologies, Inc., responsible for the implementation and maintenance of chemical processes utilized in the production of printed circuit boards (PCBs). This position specifically focuses on the drill, lamination, and plating departments, ensuring that the chemical processes are not only effective but also aligned with TTM's technological needs. The role involves application engineering of processes developed by suppliers, which are planned for use at TTM. This includes the installation of these processes and equipment, as well as the establishment of optimal operating conditions to produce high-quality products. Daily monitoring of process conditions is essential to maintain consistency and quality in production. Additionally, the Process Engineer will perform failure mode effect analysis to identify potential failure points within the processes, ensuring that any issues are addressed promptly and effectively. In this role, the engineer will be tasked with researching the availability of chemical processes that meet TTM's technology requirements. They will also be responsible for writing comprehensive project plans for process implementation, which will guide the execution of new processes. The engineer will need to develop and document all necessary procedures and instructions for process operation, maintenance, and safety, ensuring that all team members are well-informed and trained in the processes they operate. Daily monitoring of process operations is crucial to assure consistency, and the engineer will conduct failure analysis and root cause analysis when product or process problems arise. This proactive approach will help in maintaining the integrity of the production processes and in achieving the desired outcomes. The role requires a strong foundation in chemical engineering principles, as well as the ability to apply statistical techniques for process control. The Process Engineer must possess a solid understanding of failure mode effect analysis techniques, which are critical for both process development and improvement. Physical demands of the job include the ability to lift up to 25 pounds without straining, which may be necessary during equipment handling or process setup.
