Job Summary
Title: Materials Technician II - Sample Preparation and Imaging
Location: Decker Lab Corning NY
40 hours a week 100% On-Site
Max bill rate: $31/hr
Interview Process: Initial teams meeting with manager then onsite interview if local. Local candidate are preferred for this position.
*Ultimate goal is eventual conversion but there is no timeframe or guarantee of this*
Required Education and Experience:
* 2 year (AAS) technical degree
* 3 years machining experience: fabrication cutting and surface-finishing equipment
*This group is responsible for slicing dicing and polishing metal ceramics and glass imaging and then documentation. The machines are located in a lab. Manager might be willing to consider less than 3 years experience if the candidate has the right kind of experience.
LIFTING REQUIREMENT: 25 LBS MAX
SCOPE OF POSITION:
Support for a collaborative lab team that partners closely with engineering to turn ideas into real results. Youll primarily support lab testing by preparing high-quality samples for evaluation-cutting and performing metallographic preparation (mounting/grinding/polishing as applicable) and capturing micrographs using standard methods. This role is hands-on detail-driven work with strong safety practices and a steady focus on documentation and turnaround time.
Day to Day Responsibilities:
* Prepare samples for analysis by performing crushing cutting and/or sectioning using approved equipment and methods.
* Perform sample preparation steps as required (mounting grinding polishing cleaning/etching as applicable) to meet quality standards for imaging and evaluation.
* Document work clearly (sample IDs preparation parameters observations and any deviations) through internal work request system and reports through Microsoft Office applications.
* Coordinate with engineers/technicians on priorities turnaround expectations and any sample constraints or special handling needs.
* Maintain a clean and safe work area follow PPE and chemical handling requirements and support waste disposal practices.
* Support continuous improvement by identifying recurring prep issues (rework defects delays) and proposing practical fixes.
