Maintenance Technician, Capacitor Manufacturing

Xcimer Energy leverages decades of research on Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) combined with groundbreaking new laser architecture. 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.

Perform equipment inspections to identify wear, damage, leaks, abnormal operation, or other conditions that could lead to equipment failure.

Identify components approaching the end of their useful service life.

Assist in developing and improving preventive and predictive maintenance programs based on equipment condition, failure history, manufacturer recommendations, and production requirements.

Support development of equipment-specific maintenance procedures and checklists.

Assist with predictive maintenance activities where appropriate, including vibration, temperature, pressure, vacuum, electrical, and other equipment-condition monitoring.

Escalate overdue PMs, recurring failures, or equipment conditions that could affect safety, production, or product quality.

Documentation and Records

Document completed preventive maintenance, repairs, equipment failures, parts replaced, and other maintenance activities in Boltline, Xcimer's manufacturing execution system.

Ensure required PM activities are completed and properly documented.

Maintain accurate equipment maintenance history and records.

Reliability and Continuous Improvement

Identify recurring equipment failures and work with Manufacturing Engineering and Process Engineering to determine and implement appropriate corrective actions.

Support root cause investigations involving equipment failures or equipment-related manufacturing problems.

Support installation, commissioning, relocation, and modification of manufacturing equipment.

Assist Manufacturing Engineering with equipment upgrades and reliability improvements.

Support continuous improvement activities focused on increasing equipment reliability, availability, maintainability, and production uptime.

Spares, Tools, and Suppliers

Maintain appropriate spare parts and consumable inventories for critical production equipment.

Identify critical spare components and recommend appropriate stocking levels based on equipment reliability and lead time.

Work with suppliers and equipment manufacturers to troubleshoot problems, obtain replacement components, and coordinate specialized repairs when necessary.

Maintain tools, maintenance equipment, work areas, and spare-parts storage in an organized and serviceable condition.

Safety

Follow applicable Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), electrical safety, chemical safety, PPE, and other workplace safety requirements.

Treat stored electrical energy as a primary hazard: verify that capacitors, high-voltage test equipment, and power supplies are discharged and grounded before work begins, and follow the controls for high-voltage test areas.

Handle the oils, solvents, and resins used on the line in accordance with Xcimer's hazard communication program.
