Aerotek • Rolling Meadows, IL • 1d ago

Job Title: Brazing Machine Operator

Job Description

In this specialized entry-level role, you will perform manual torch brazing primarily on copper-to-copper joints as a critical step in manufacturing high-conductivity power distribution components for electric vehicles and industrial power systems. You will use manual oxygen-fuel torches to create high-strength, leak-proof bonds and ensure the quality and reliability of copper busbars, terminals, and tubes.

Responsibilities

Set up and operate hand-held oxygen-fuel torches to heat copper components to the correct temperature for proper alloy flow.

Apply flux and filler metals, including silver and phosphorus-copper alloys, to create clean, high-conductivity joints between copper plates, terminals, and tubes.

Clean and degrease copper surfaces prior to brazing to ensure proper bonding and joint integrity.

Use jigs and fixtures to align parts accurately according to blueprints, drawings, and work instructions.

Remove flux residue and oxidation after brazing to maintain clean, reliable joints.

Perform visual inspections of completed joints to verify complete capillary action, proper wetting, and overall bond integrity.

Follow detailed blueprints and technical drawings to set up workpieces and confirm correct dimensions and alignment.

Operate and handle hand and power tools safely and efficiently as part of the brazing and preparation process.

Strictly follow safety protocols related to pressurized gas cylinders, open flames, ventilation, and general shop safety.

Maintain a clean, organized work area and support general labor tasks as needed to keep production running smoothly.

Why Work Here?

You will join a global organization that designs and manufactures innovative technologies used in everyday vehicles, equipment, and aircraft, giving you the chance to contribute to products that have a real-world impact. The company supports financial and career growth through programs such as profit sharing, a strong 401(k) match, and opportunities for advancement. You can benefit from a referral program, sign-on incentives after becoming permanent, and regular company outings and events that foster a collaborative and engaging culture. Team members enjoy perks like catered lunches, access to special experiences such as premium sports suites based on performance, and unique recognition programs that celebrate contributions. The environment emphasizes long-term stability, professional development, and a supportive workplace where skilled technicians and engineers work together to solve complex problems.
