Role Overview Kodak is looking for Coating Operators to join our team in Kodak’s Advanced Materials and Chemicals Division in Rochester, NY.
Operators work in a variety of roles, all of which are involved in manufacturing the highest-quality light-sensitive coated products in the world. Depending on qualifications and experience, operator candidates will be assigned a role in one of these three teams.
Coating: Our unique and massive coating machines create the PET film base as well as coat light-sensitive materials onto the film base. Operators are responsible for ensuring that the coating machines run smoothly and that the coated products are free from imperfections.
Chemical: Our world-class coated products rely upon the interplay of multiple extremely thin chemical layers. Operators use precisely engineered processes to prepare all materials used in coating, including solvents, dyes, and light-sensitive emulsions. Experience dealing with large quantities of chemicals and understanding chemical Safety Data Sheets is helpful.
Quality: Our coated products are of the highest quality in the world. Operators inspect freshly coated film products for imperfections in structure or sensitivity that would affect their functionality and salability. A background in science may be helpful.
