Work from partial or incomplete inputs and   determine   what needs to be created versus updated. • Perform in-process and final quality checks, including leak and pressure testing of assembled units. Record results and   maintain   build records, inspection   sign-offs, and part traceability. • Support incoming inspection of machined parts and partner with supply chain on supplier quality and nonconforming material. • Partner directly with design engineers and the R&D team on assembly feedback, design-for-assembly, and first-article builds. • Maintain a clean, organized workspace with foreign object debris (FOD) control, and follow all safety and PPE protocols. • Contribute to continuous improvement of assembly processes as production scales. • Help   establish   the assembly standards, documentation, and training that a growing technician team will work from. Required Qualifications • Demonstrated precision mechanical assembly experience (compressors, pumps, engines, turbomachinery, aerospace, medical device, or comparable high-tolerance work). • Ability to read and work from engineering drawings, GD&T, schematics, and bills of materials. • Proficiency   assembling to   torque, tolerance, and fit specifications with calibrated hand and power tools. • Experience writing or   substantially improving   assembly SOPs or work instructions. • Comfort   operating   from partial documentation and deciding what to build versus what to update. • Experience working within a documented quality process (inspection   records, part traceability, nonconformance handling) in a high-reliability or regulated environment. • Strong attention to detail, manual dexterity, and pride in workmanship. • Clear written and verbal communication   to interface   with design engineers and technical experts. • Authorization to work in the U.S. Technical • Precision measurement and inspection: calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, dial indicators; measuring runout, concentricity, and clearances to spec. • Rotating-assembly   work: bearing and seal installation, shaft alignment, and rotor balancing or runout verification. • Mechanical fits and   joining:   press, shrink, and slip fits; threaded and fastened joints to torque spec; brazing or soldering as applicable. • Cleanliness and contamination control for close-clearance parts, including FOD prevention. • Leak, pressure, and vacuum or evacuation procedures, with the test documentation that goes with them. • Familiarity with rotating equipment or sealed (hermetic / semi-hermetic) compressor assemblies. Preferred Qualifications • EPA 608 or other refrigerant handling certification. • Experience in low-volume or prototype-to-production (NPI) manufacturing environments. • Experience contributing to design-for-manufacturability or design-for-assembly. • Lean, 5S, or continuous improvement exposure. • Trade certification, associate degree, or equivalent   demonstrated   hands-on experience. • Basic experience with   Solidworks   E Drawings/CAD • Experience training and developing technicians or   building out   a small assembly   team, and   interest in growing into that as the function scales. Physical Requirements • Stand, bend, reach, and perform detailed hand work for extended periods. • Lift and carry up to 25   lbs   regularly, and up to 40   lbs   occasionally with   assistance   or lifting aids. • Fine motor dexterity and close-vision work with small components and hand tools. • Use required PPE and work safely in a shop and light-manufacturing environment. Come be   a part of an exciting clean energy technology startup in beautiful Loveland, CO. You will join an ambitious, talented group decarbonizing the industrial heat sector. AtmosZero is seeking a Compressor Technician to build the precision compressors at the heart of our Boiler 2.0 system. This is hands-on mechanical assembly work first, then as we scale distribution, the right person will have the opportunity to grow into building and leading a small team of technicians, setting the assembly   standards   and training the people who follow. We would be excited to find someone interested in that path.
