BASIC FUNCTION OF THE JOB:
• Lead the development, optimization, and control of chemical cleaning processes for optical glass components.
• Ensuring superior surface cleanliness that meets stringent optical quality standards, while complying with safety, environmental, and cost targets.
• Lead verification, qualification activities and standardization for chemical processes.
• Product/ Process control and improvement projects assigned.
DETAILS:
- Develop and optimize chemical cleaning processes
• Develop and optimize chemical cleaning processes (acid/base/solvent cleaning, megasonic /ultrasonic cleaning, DI water rinsing) for various optical glass materials (e.g., BK7, FS, sapphire…).
• Requirement for new projects, new product’s requirement.
• Select appropriate cleaning chemicals and sequences based on glass type, contamination level, and final product application
• Analyze surface chemistry interactions to prevent scratches, haze, particle contamination, and residue after cleaning.
• Design and validate cleaning setups using chemical tanks, ultrasonic systems, vapor dryers, and spin dryers.
- Qualification & Process Management
• Collaborate with Product Engineer, Process Engineer, Quality Engineer… to define cleanliness specifications (e.g., particle count, haze…).
• Trouble shooting on shop floor, lead pilot runs and support mass production transfer of cleaning processes
• Conduct root cause analysis of process-related surface defects and implement corrective actions.
• Ensure all processes comply with chemical safety regulations, waste management standards, and cleanroom protocols.
• Write and maintain SOPs and work instructions for cleaning operations.
• New processes or process changes are evaluated, documented, and are compatible with corporate engineering and manufacturing information systems.
• Leads and/or participates in resolutions or problem, which may be chemical
• Train other function teams on technical aspects of process flow & equipment operation, including safety.
• Weekly review for improvement
• Complete CAR and Task efficiently on time
- Product/process control as assigned by line manager
o Work as Process engineer for some product/process
o Involve/lead improvement projects
