Test and installation engineer for Kratos Analytical working on Axis Supra XPS/surface science instruments.

Working intermittently when needed doing general machinist work including milling, turning, drilling, tapping, welding and key-way cutting for one-off jobs.

Working as part of the photovoltaic team spending the majority of time in a clean room fabricating or testing complex semiconductor devices while reporting to the principle scientists. Fabrication involved material prep, spin coating and chemical vapor deposition. Testing involved cold temperature IV measurements, layer thickness measurements, quantum efficiency, CV measurements, microscope checks and superstrate absorption/transmission efficiency. Other tasks include creating procedure… Show more Working as part of the photovoltaic team spending the majority of time in a clean room fabricating or testing complex semiconductor devices while reporting to the principle scientists.

Role involved setting up PPM software for the company. Database setup involved gathering data on equipment including serial no, service schedule, greasing schedule, consumable parts and incorporating this with the PPM features for a printout list of the days requirements.

Working where needed most between site, the bagging shed and the office. Normally I would prioritise the needs of the site and perform the cleaning of hazardous areas accordingly. I would be drafted into the bagging shed when there was too much work on, or into the office to help with health and safety reports or ordering supplies including oil, parts and tools.

Disassembling bespoke F1 tyre sensors using custom jigs and a double iron soldering technique.

Prioritise the needs of the site and perform the cleaning of hazardous areas accordingly. Once a week performing a site greasing routine as per schedule and make a note of grease levels in any automatic greasing systems.
