This role combines hands-on plating with routine wet chemistry control to ensure consistent coating quality and compliance with aerospace and NADCAP requirements.
Essential Responsibilities
- Perform electroplating operations on small, precision components (e.g., contacts, connector parts) using processes such as gold and nickel plating
- Prepare parts for plating including cleaning, masking, racking, and fixturing
- Operate and monitor plating baths, maintaining parameters such as temperature, pH, and current density (ASF)
- Conduct basic wet chemistry checks (e.g., titrations, pH) and make routine chemical additions per specifications
- Inspect plated parts for coverage, thickness, and defects; identify and address basic process issues
- Maintain production records, bath logs, and lot traceability in accordance with NADCAP and quality requirements
- Follow all safety, environmental, and chemical handling procedures
Position Requirements
- High school diploma or equivalent required
- 1-3 years of electroplating or metal finishing experience in a production environment preferred
- Working knowledge of plating processes and basic bath chemistry control
- Ability to follow detailed procedures in a regulated (AS9100/NADCAP) environment
- Strong attention to detail and ability to work with small components
- Basic math and documentation skills
