Meet The Team | Jessika Boström| Mechanical Designer
Tell us about your role in TC TECH’s development team and your main responsibilities?
I am a mechanical design engineer at TC Tech and working on improvements on the TCP system to meet evolving market needs. That includes CAD modelling, analysis, technical documentation, prototyping and more. We are doing extensive testing on our machine which I am involved in, to find our focus areas in the development team and continuously test our improvements. I am also working on assembly instructions and manuals for the TCP system which is an important step when TC Tech starts with volume production.
What do you see as the biggest challenge in developing a production system ready for volume manufacturing of optical films?
Developing a production system ready for volume manufacturing of optical films has several challenges, I think one of the biggest ones is achieving consistent quality. Customers in the optical film industry have high demands on their product, they need to have precise control over thickness, surface smoothness, pattern replication, coverfilm, etc. for every produced substrate. And this must be uniform and repetitive over large production batches. To achieve this we need to work closely with our customers and understand their process and challenges, while focusing on constantly developing the TCP system.

How would you describe the company culture here at TC TECH?
The company culture at TC Tech is creative, innovative and goal oriented. The people that work at TC Tech share a deep knowledge and care for the system, which permeates the atmosphere. Since we are such a small group we all need to work closely together to achieve our common goals.
What advice would you give to someone interested in pursuing a career in technology and design?
Be curious and learn from other’s career paths, there are a lot of forums and industry events to attend to broaden your network. Why not reach out to someone and ask for a mentorship? Technology and design is a very large area, so find what you are interested in and what competences you need to develop to fulfil your ambitions.
