Boeing Commercial Airplanes is excited to offer opportunities for a Composite Fabricator C to join our Fabrication team in Everett, WA. Employees in this position work with a variety of materials (e.g., plastics, rubber, aluminum) in experimental projects. They may work with autoclaves and ovens used for curing pre-preg materials and coordinate with higher graded shop employees.

• Obtain work from sources (e.g., lead, work orders, shop requests) for daily work assignments.
• Perform planned work, pre-cure rework of materials and post-cure rework (e.g., thermal plastics, rubber, bonded assemblies) as required.
• Operate a computer to access programs required to perform job functions as required.
• Read/interpret blueprints (e.g., tooling, engineering, production) and specifications with higher grade employees, as required.
• Calculate math dimensions using sample parts, sketches or verbal instructions for fabricating details, as required.
• Provide production/tooling assistance to layout dimensions and/or holes when tools are not available to production shop, with higher grade employees if needed.
• Operate hand/power tools (e.g., jitterbug, dotco) for cutting or trimming, as required.
• Work with materials to perform bonding/curing (e.g., thermal plastic, rubber, resins, adhesives) in the experimental and production lay-up process, as required.
• Use precision measuring tools (e.g., calipers, scales, micrometers) to check work performed.
• Coordinate with personnel (e.g., lead, planning, engineering, supervision) to resolve tooling issues, as required.
• Use personal protective equipment when using chemicals (e.g., resins, release agents, paints, sealant, solvents) required in the fabrication process.
• Maintain required certifications used in the fabrication process.
• Use/operate computer programs to operate laser projectors, ply cutters and ultrasonic knife, as required to complete work.
• Operate or assist in the use of lower-rated equipment, cranes, robots, automated former and AGVs (automated guided vehicles) to move tools and materials as needed.
• Must be comfortable working with metals, composites, exposure to moving parts, pinch points, sharp cutters and tools.

• Perform physical tasks that include lifting weights ranging from 10-15 lbs to 15-35 lbs.
• Engage in movements such as reaching, handling, turning, twisting, lifting, lowering, climbing, balancing, bending, kneeling, crouching, and squatting.
• Work in environments that may involve contact with metals, solvents, and coolants.
• Operate in proximity to moving parts and tools, sharp cutters, and potential slipping hazards.
• Adapt to varying noise levels and atmospheric conditions.
• Utilize personal safety gear to protect face/eyes, hands/arms, and feet while performing job duties.

This position is expected to be 100% onsite. The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at one of the listed location options.
