Filtration Process Engineering Technician

Step into a day as our Filtration Process Engineering Technician

When your 1st Shift begins at 8:00 a.m., you’ll pull the latest yield data and partner with manufacturing and R&D to pinpoint where processes can run smoother, faster, and more reliably. By mid-morning, you’re at the bench driving defect analysis of filter products—microscope in hand—confirming causes of in-process failures through verification testing. In the afternoon, you’re shepherding a small change-control project, updating SOP’s, and validating equipment to lock in the gains you helped uncover. Before 4:30 p.m., you’ve briefed stakeholders and queued up corrective actions based on your root-cause work so tomorrow’s production runs cleaner.
