Responsibilities

The Braze Specialist will be responsible for developing, documenting, and monitoring brazing and heat treatment processes for components in our manufacturing facility. This includes furnace brazing and vacuum brazing, as well as various heat treatment processes such as solution treatment, stabilization, diffusion, precipitation hardening & aging, and stress relief for alloys like aluminum, stainless steel, and Inconel.

The Braze Specialist will work with Design and Manufacturing Engineering teams, as well as workers on the manufacturing floor, to troubleshoot and improve brazing processes. This role will focus on increasing the consistency and yield of brazing by studying processes and products before, during, and after brazing. This role will also be involved in some metallurgical work, including identifying samples for on-site lab review to resolve potential issues such as corrosion, incipient melting, maintaining heat levels and increasing the strength of our products.

 

  • Develop and document brazing and heat treatment processes, including root cause analysis of deviations from critical process specifications to resolve brazing-related issues.
  • Educate and train workers on proper procedures and processes, including creating and updating work instructions and training materials.
  • Monitor brazing performance (rework/yield) to ensure targets are met.
  • Use established process management tools, control plans, and CPK monitoring to improve process outcomes.
  • Develop best practices for production quality, reliability, and capacity.
  • Create and implement improved preventative maintenance programs to enhance current processes.
  • Support heat treatment and braze processes to maintain NADCAP certifications.
  • Lead braze process development, including trials, documentation (work instructions, brazing specifications, qualification records), and process qualifications.
