Our mission is to deploy fusion power plants to meet global decarbonization goals as fast as possible. Xcimer has assembled a team of leaders in tough tech, fusion science, and manufacturing with a track record of rapid execution. Supported by leading investors, Xcimer is uniquely positioned to deliver limitless, clean, fusion power to combat climate change. Join us in powering a better world with inertial fusion!
As a Maintenance Technician, you will apply your skills to keep the wound film capacitor line at our Tucson, Arizona facility running safely and reliably — the winders, vacuum drying and impregnation systems, ovens, and test equipment that build the capacitors behind Xcimer's pulsed-power laser drivers. We are looking for our technicians to apply their technical expertise, problem solving skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact the future of energy!
Troubleshooting and Repair
-
Respond to equipment breakdowns and production equipment issues in a timely manner to minimize manufacturing downtime.
-
Prioritize the vacuum drying and impregnation systems. Their multi-day cycles and limited tank count mean an unplanned stop there costs more output than anywhere else on the line.
-
Troubleshoot and repair mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, vacuum, thermal, and electromechanical equipment and systems.
-
Diagnose equipment failures using drawings, schematics, manuals, diagnostic equipment, and systematic troubleshooting techniques.
-
Identify failed or degraded components and perform appropriate repairs or replacements.
-
Maintain and troubleshoot equipment control systems and industrial components within the technician's training and qualifications.
-
Perform equipment adjustments and repairs within approved equipment and process requirements.
-
Verify proper equipment operation following maintenance or repair before returning equipment to production.
-
Coordinate with Manufacturing Engineering and Process Engineering when repairs or adjustments could affect process parameters, equipment capability, product quality, or validated process conditions.
Preventive and Predictive Maintenance
-
Perform scheduled preventive maintenance (PM) on manufacturing equipment, tooling, and directly connected utilities according to established maintenance procedures and schedules.
