Description:

Primary Role:

Performs mid-level, complex mechanical assemblies utilizing automated/semi-automated assembly equipment. Executes precision functional testing including pressure, fluid flow, standard leak, and specialized Helium leak testing

Key Responsibilities:

Advanced & Automated Assembly:

Set up and operate or semi-automated assembly equipment (e.g., automated fastening systems, or computer-controlled torque systems). Perform complex, multi-tier mechanical assemblies requiring tight tolerances, intricate internal components, and precise alignments

Pressure, Flow, and Leak Testing Hydrostatic & Pneumatic Pressure Testing:

Set up and safely operate high-pressure test benches to verify structural integrity and proof-pressure limits

Flow Testing:

Connect and execute fluid/airflow testing to validate that components meet specific volumetric or mass flow-rate requirements

Helium Leak Testing:

Operate specialized Helium mass spectrometer leak detectors. Perform hard-vacuum or sniffing testing techniques to detect micro-leaks to strict aerospace leak-rate specifications Inspection & Quality Control Interpret complex aerospace blueprints, schematics, engineering drawings Review and validate data logs from automated test equipment to ensure compliance with acceptance criteria Process Control & Efficiency Monitor test fluid cleanliness, system pressures, and gas supplies (Helium/Nitrogen), proactively replacing filters or culinders to prevent downtime Maintain cycle-time awareness, tracking actual assembly and test times against standards to optimize throughout Stage and manage production flow using the ERP system, ensuring immediate transition between assembly and testing cells Troubleshooting & Maintenance Diagnose and resolve common test stand alarms, fixture leaks, and assembly Perform routine maintenance and daily calibration verification on test benches, gauges Mentorship Demonstrate a willingness and ability to mentor and train Assembly teammates on proper mechanical techniques, equipment operation, and safety

Requirements:

Experience with finite assembly Experience with conducting pressure, flow, and leak testing
