The role of a Screening Operator at TTM is critical within the PCB manufacturing process. This position is responsible for applying a protective coating, known as soldermask, on the surface of printed circuit board panels. The soldermask selectively exposes holes and pads to enable precise solder application. Operators use both manual and automatic screening systems, such as the Printar automatic screening system, and engage in processes including screening, exposing, developing, and curing the soldermask. The Screening Operator must also conduct careful inspections to detect defects, ensure full coverage, and avoid ink contamination.

This role operates primarily on the second shift from 3:00 PM to 11:30 PM, Monday through Friday, although initial training may require attendance on an alternative schedule. The Screening Operator must adhere strictly to safety and environmental standards, including regular use of safety equipment and compliance with hazardous waste regulations (RCRA). Essential skills for this position include solid math capabilities, strong attention to detail, familiarity with chemistry and electroplating processes (preferred but not mandatory), and the ability to follow detailed instructions both verbally and in writing.

Physical requirements for the role include the ability to lift up to 50 pounds, work in noisy environments where hearing protection is supplied, and stand for extended periods. While no prior experience is required, a high school diploma or GED is necessary, and candidates are trained on the job. Preference is given to those with prior PCB or general manufacturing experience.
