Initiate, design, implement, and sustain equipment and process upgrades-including unwinding, splicing, web guiding, coating, tension control, drying/curing, moisturization, cooling, laminating, and winding-performing feasibility studies to minimize scrap, increase productivity, and improve quality. Plan sequences of operations, specify processing procedures, establish equipment requirements, and perform continuous testing and measurements (tension, moisture content, temperature, percent solids, pressure) while applying principles of chemistry, physics, and material analysis to component failures and system design allowables.
