• Hand finish-forms, checks and reforms extruded raw stock and/or partially machine- formed extruded and sheet metal parts having compound and irregular contours.
• Forms parts to final dimensions exercising knowledge of forming characteristics of various metals and their alloys. Makes simple pattern layouts on flat or other metal stock
• Performs drilling, reaming, counter sinking, counter boring, tapping, routing and riveting of detail parts to be used in bonded rotor blades and on final bonded rotor blades using specified tooling.
• Fills and fairs contour surfaces of rotor blades to within .010" tolerances.
• In preparation for bonding, applies adhesive to parts and sub-assemblies. Sets up and operates liquid adhesive spray, brush and roller coat equipment to prepare parts for metal bonding
• During pre-fitting will preform operations such as cutting, burnishing, filing, forming, drilling, reaming, countersinking, counter bore, clamping, bolting and riveting on structural members and adhesive bonded skins
• Fits, install and assembles parts and honeycomb core to structural member, bonding materials, and other details. May patch, replace and rework such assemblies in order to conform to specifications.
• Responsible for bagging such assemblies for curing process. Positions, lays up and sets up parts or assemblies, bonding dies and tools using fiberglass or other types of vacuum blankets. Checks leak rate using monometer. Attaches and installs thermocouples and applies parting agent.

• Work involves operations required to complete honeycomb, composite or fiberglass bonded sub-assemblies and/or matching,
• Assembly and installation work involving drilling, reaming and/or riveting, and the installation of various fasteners to specifications including torque operations on structural assemblies using specified tooling, jigs and fixtures.
• Performs all operations necessary in the location, installation, assembly and integral mating of major structural sub- assemblies and assemblies, working with without specialized tooling and jigs.
• Works the assembly in designated sequence and may perform structural repair and rework on assemblies as directed.
• May perform finishing operations on honeycomb and/or fiberglass bounded subassemblies
• Builds and/or mates structures where the assembly is coordinated or built with tooling which establishes primary locations and, as necessary, lays out and locates rivet, bolt
• Loads jig and does necessary work and/or rework to complete assembly, either in or after removal from jig. Positions and lays up parts, using tooling jigs and fixtures, when available.
• Fits, assembles and shapes parts; determines proper tools (size and length), up to and including the installation of safety wire.
• Fabricates detail parts such as shims, splices, gussets, angles, brackets, doublers, stiffeners, patches, etc. Improvises shop aids to facilitate assembly and installation, as required
• Calculates material out time and expiration dates.

• Understand measuring tolerances.

• Basic computer knowledge.

Must be able to calculate material out time.

• Enhanced production quality by meticulously deburring and inspecting parts for aerospace industry.
• Increased efficiency by utilizing hand tools, power tools, and pneumatic equipment for deburring processes.
• Achieved smoother finishes on parts through precise attention to detail while hand-filing and sanding edges.
• Reduced production delays by promptly communicating issues or concerns to supervisors and team leads.
