Manual Machinist B

POSITION SUMMARY:

Accurately and efficiently machines, assembles, and tests a variety of moderate servomotor products to achieve highest levels of customer quality and mission-critical delivery schedules. Operations include extremely tight tolerance machining, critical testing, performing lock wiring and final detailing functions. Works on products that contain mostly mechanical and some electrical components, single and some dual hydraulic systems, and multiple part families. 

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Performs moderate to moderate assembly/test functions utilizing mechanical skills, hand and power tools, mechanical/electronic tools, test equipment, assembly fixtures, and inspection measurement equipment in a manufacturing environment. 
• Sets up simple to moderate test equipment on a variety of products to measure and record valve or system conformance to test specifications. 
• Sets up test stands with appropriate plumbing for hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, and cryogenic tests from required product specifications. 
• Verifies accuracy of test stand and setup prior to testing and makes necessary adjustments to attain specified test results including test for leakage, flow, and friction.
• Conducts tests using common and/or computerized data acquisition equipment (i.e. LabVIEW) and interprets/records test results on data forms. Uses X‐Y recorders, oscilloscopes, transducers, and other related equipment. 
• Troubleshoots and reworks malfunctions disclosed by test data. 
• Performs diagnostic teardown and rebuilding including evaluation of suitability of components. 
• Produces and inspects assemblies that conform to product specifications. Assembles, tests, and/or solders to customer and/or industry standards. 
• Interprets blueprints, engineering orders, assembly routes, test specifications, service bulletins, customer requirements, and quality directives. 
• Actively implements lean initiatives by identifying and providing suggestions on areas for improvement. 
•  May interface with manufacturing engineering and production control to relay product problems and progress of work. 
• Observes all safety rules and maintains a foreign object damage (FOD) free work area. 
• Assists in training less experienced team members. 
• Ensures all equipment is calibrated in accordance with calibration schedule. 

QUALIFICATIONS:

• 0- 3 years direct industry related experience in assembly/test in a high‐technology manufacturing environment. (school programs will be considered)  
• Demonstrate understanding of simple-moderate products involving electronics, dual systems, and multiple part families. 
• Demonstrate product and process knowledge by applying it to newly learned techniques. 
• Able to research problems and develop solutions, incorporating multiple variables, to successfully repair products to serviceable conditions. 
• Familiar with and able to set up most test fixtures. 
• Able to adapt to procedures, techniques, and/or processes to meet special needs on varied assignments. 
• Proficient in reading and understanding blueprints, route sheets, and test specifications. 
• Strong mechanical reasoning, as well as hydraulic and/or electrical background is preferred. 
• Measurement conversion and fluids theory knowledge required for test applications. 
• Leakage, flow, friction, and pressure knowledge required. 
• Possess effective interpersonal communication skills, as well as the ability to work in a team environment on research and solution development. 
• Able to interpret reports and use standard business software applications. 
• Able to use employee self‐service to access on‐line information and use specialized automated systems (i.e. PMR, TORS, e‐mail). 
• May require specialized certification specific to division requirements (i.e. certified operator, FAA repair license, soldering certification). 
• Ability to effectively demonstrate team member competencies and participate in goal setting, performance feedback, and self‐development activities. 
• Experience performing manual operations (non-CNC dependent) at extremely tight tolerances (+/- 0.001”) with variety of machines including grinders, lathes, mills, honing, lapping, and various drilling operations. 

Pay Range: $23.5/hr.  – $30.45/hr. 

For school graduates, it will be 23.5/hr.
