Position Description
Mechanics in this job perform close tolerance rework on aircraft or aircraft parts. Collaborate with engineering to solve problems. Design & fabricate custom tools & fixtures where tools do not work or exist. Employment in this position also requires standing, twisting & bending at the waist, walking, carrying & lifting less than 10 pounds, climbing/balancing, handling, rotation of head/neck, contact with metals, exposure to noise, atmospheric conditions & elevated platforms, & the use of personal safety gear for face/eye, hand/arm, ears & feet. Receive work assignment from various sources coordinate with shop & work priority rejection tags. Locate area to be worked using drawings, IP (Installation Plan), W/O (Work Order), or other paperwork that specifies airplane number, section number, & three point location. Obtain appropriate drawings, Boeing (BAC) specification, documents and/or sketches, using online computing systems, as required. Ensure that correct part numbers & quantity of kitted (pre-picked) or hand picked detail parts, standards & assemblies were issued/selected, by comparing to IP and/or BOM (Bill Of Materials) on drawing. Make sure parts issued are free of visible defects. If parts are not pre-picked, get parts specified from Parts Control Area (PCA), satellite storage carts, roto bin, or other location as required. Ensure that parts selected are effective for the airplane & are free of visible defects. Operate mechanical lifts of various types as required, to locate parts/assemblies into position or to perform assembly work. Locate parts on airplane using reference points such as tooling holes, K holes, or by hand per drawing, O&IR, & tooling instructions. Set up assembly tools per tooling instructions or drawing, as required. Make sure all locators are correct for particular model configuration. Design custom drills, reamers to perform a given task & fill out tool grind request orders, as required. Fabricate detail parts from raw stock to meet repair or modification requirements. Drill, ream, & countersink full size holes in parts/assemblies in sequence & to correct size using drill motor, Winslow, 90-degree power vane, and/or Quackenbush. Set countersinking tools to proper depth, as required. Apply sealant, alodine, primer, adhesives, as required by W/O, IP, or Boeing (BAC) specifications. Operate conventional milling & lathe machines to fabricate custom shop aids as required. Mill or trim clearance on aircraft parts per engineering disposition, as required. Perform various types of single point boring & line hone operations. Verify tool is properly set up per tool usage instruction sheet prior to boring, complete per engineering disposition/IP. Cold work or form various types of aluminum by peening per (BAC) specifications, as required. Repair oversized or crooked holes per Non-Conformance Reports (NCR) & Boeing (BAC) specifications. Fabricate one of a kind boring & milling fixtures to perform close tolerance machining on an aircraft where conventional equipment can not be used. Design, fabricate & operate one of a kind router fixtures for routing on aircraft or aircraft parts where existing tools will not work or are damaged. Check work after completion of each operation and/or completed job to ensure it is complete per drawing, there are no defects & area around job is clean, prior to putting up for inspection.
