AZ Metallography Lab Technician

This hands-on laboratory role supports coating manufacturing by producing reliable metallographic evidence for engineers and team leads. Responsibilities include documenting samples, taking precise measurements, cutting and mounting specimens, preparing them for microscopic review, and learning hardness-testing procedures. The technician also maintains laboratory supplies, follows ASTM and ISO-related protocols, and operates equipment safely in accordance with company and regulatory requirements. The position suits someone with mechanical and electrical aptitude, strong attention to detail, practical problem-solving ability, and the independence to complete recurring tasks accurately. Trade-school or technology associate-level education is preferred, while experience with metallography, testing equipment, plasma spray systems, or industrial robots would be helpful. After a 3–4 week weekday training period, the regular schedule is Sunday through Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 4 a.m. in Phoenix.
