Process Engineer

Infosoft, Inc.

Rockford, TN

This temporary, entry-level position is within the Healthcare Diagnostic division, focusing on the day-to-day manufacturing of scintillator materials for PET molecular imaging applications. The role operates in a production-oriented environment centered on process execution, equipment operation, documentation, and scaling from development to large-volume manufacturing.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and execute day-to-day manufacturing process steps for scintillator material production, including:
• Preparation of liquid precursors
• Nanomaterial synthesis
• Powder processing
• Calcination
• Milling
• Sieving
• Operate production equipment daily to support pilot and large-volume manufacturing, including:
• Forming
• Precursor material preparation and synthesis
• Support process control, sample tracking, chemical inventory, batch documentation, data entry, and processing of experimental and production data.
• Collaborate closely with R&D, engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to:
• Transfer process knowledge
• Troubleshoot production issues
• Improve workflow
• Expand manufacturing capabilities
• Follow EHS requirements for chemical handling, powder processing, thermal equipment, laboratory housekeeping, and safe production operations.
• Perform daily operation of production and laboratory equipment.
• Support controlled material-processing steps.
• Work in close collaboration with the R&D team to ensure process stability, repeatability, and day-to-day production of material precursors.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Process Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or a related technical field.
• Hands-on experience in a laboratory, pilot production, manufacturing, or technical process environment.
• Ability to operate equipment safely and follow detailed procedures.
• Ability to maintain process discipline and document work accurately.
• Strong attention to detail.
• Strong data organization skills.
• Reliability and ability to work effectively in a team-based production environment.
• More than six months of hands-on training in critical processing steps.
• Demonstrated reliability, strong work ethic, and ability to contribute effectively in a technical manufacturing environment.

Highly Desirable Skills

• Experience with chemical precursor preparation, nanomaterial synthesis, powder processing, thermal treatment, or advanced materials manufacturing.
• Familiarity with material characterization and process-support equipment such as ICP-MS, DSC-TGA, particle size analysis, BET testing, porosity measurements, light output, decay time, or timing performance testing.
• Prior hands-on training in scintillator material production, equipment operation, or related advanced materials processing.
