Job Description

Process control and optimization

• Set up, control, and continuously improve (parameters, recipes, work instructions).
• Monitor critical process parameters (e.g. concentration, temperature, current density, pH, time) and react promptly to out‑of‑control conditions.
• Analyze process and production data (defects, quality) and lead root cause analysis and corrective / preventive actions.

Quality and documentation

• Ensure plated parts meet product specifications, customer requirements, and internal quality standards.
• Create and maintain process documentation: control plans, WI, bath make‑up / maintenance instructions, checklists, chemical inventory and MSDS.
• Support internal and external audits related to plating processes and special processes qualification.

Equipment and maintenance support

• Coordinate with maintenance team / IT team to ensure high uptime and reliability of plating lines, associated handling equipment, rectifiers, filtration, agitation, and ventilation.
• Recommend and support equipment upgrades, new tooling, jigs, racks, and automation to improve quality, capacity, and cost.

Chemical, safety, and environmental management

• Manage chemical baths in the lab: XRF / ICP / Hull cell analysis, bath life management, dummying, and disposal.
• Ensure compliance with EHS regulations and company policies for chemical handling, PPE, waste treatment, and effluent discharge.
• Support compliance with relevant regulations and customer requirements (e.g. RoHS, REACH, local environmental laws, heavy‑metal restrictions).

New product and project support

• Participate in new product introduction (NPI): feasibility, sample builds, process window definition, and plating specification review.
• Lead or support continuous improvement and cost‑reduction projects (cycle time, chemical consumption, scrap, energy).

Training and cross‑functional support

• Train workers on plating processes, work instructions, quality standards, and safety practices.
• Work closely with Production, Quality, Maintenance, IT, and Purchasing to resolve issues and support customer needs.

Job Requirement

Education and experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemistry, or related technical field.
• At least 3 year of experience in electroplating, surface treatment, metal finishing, or similar process‑intensive manufacturing.

Technical skills

• Solid knowledge of plating chemistry, surface preparation, and defect mechanisms (burning, pitting, peeling, blistering, roughness, thickness variation, etc.).
• Experience with process control tools and problem‑solving methodologies.
• Ability to read technical drawings, specifications, and plating standards.
