Job description

Hydrogen Furnace Operator
Department: Manufacturing / Production
Employment Type: Full-Time
Location: Houston, TX
The Mission
We are looking for a Hydrogen Furnace Operator who takes the atmosphere seriously - literally. At Lunar Resources, our furnace operations are not background tasks. They are precision thermal processes that determine whether a hermetically sealed assembly performs at the edge of physics or fails before it ships. If you understand what hydrogen and forming gas atmospheres actually do to a part, and you care about getting it right every time, we want to talk to you.
About the Role
You will own day-to-day operation of our hydrogen and forming gas atmosphere furnaces, supporting brazing, annealing, and thermal processing of precision electromechanical assemblies. The parts running through your furnace include Kovar, stainless steel, copper, and dissimilar metal joints destined for UHV hermetic packages. Process integrity here is not a suggestion - it is the product.
This role is open to candidates at multiple experience levels. If you are early in your career and have a serious foundation to build on, we will invest in you. If you are seasoned, you will hit the ground running and help us raise the bar.
What You'll Do
  • Set up, operate, and monitor hydrogen and forming gas atmosphere furnace cycles for brazing, annealing, and surface preparation processes
  • Execute and document thermal profiles, atmosphere conditions, dew points, and cycle parameters for each run
  • Load and unload assemblies with attention to fixturing, part orientation, and contamination control
  • Inspect outgoing parts for braze quality, surface condition, and dimensional compliance
  • Maintain furnace systems including gas delivery, safety interlocks, thermocouples, and atmosphere controls
  • Coordinate with engineers and welders to sequence thermal processing within the production workflow
  • Flag deviations, process anomalies, or out-of-spec conditions and participate in root cause investigations
  • Keep detailed run logs and support traceability requirements for high-reliability hardware

What We're Looking For
  • Hands-on experience operating atmosphere-controlled furnaces (hydrogen, forming gas, nitrogen, or vacuum) in a production or R&D environment
  • Understanding of brazing metallurgy, thermal profiles, and how atmosphere chemistry affects joint and surface quality
  • Familiarity with dissimilar metal assemblies and the challenges they present in thermal processing (Kovar, copper, stainless)
  • Comfort working with hydrogen safety systems, gas handling equipment, and safety interlocks
  • Ability to read and follow process travelers, work orders, and engineering drawings
  • Attention to detail and a mindset that no shortcut is worth a bad part
  • Extended hours and weekend work may be required to support critical production milestones
  • Must be authorized to work in the United States

Bonus
  • Experience supporting UHV hermetic sealing or vacuum-compatible assembly processes
  • Familiarity with mil-spec or aerospace brazing standards (AWS, AMS)
  • Prior work in a cleanroom-adjacent or contamination-controlled environment
