• Perform precision drilling, countersinking, and hole preparation on composite, plywood, and metallic structures to specified drawing tolerances.
• Prepare surfaces for structural adhesive bonding and apply structural adhesive bonds according to specifications and standard operating procedures.
• Install structural fasteners, including rivets, blind fasteners, and threaded inserts, to the required torque, spacing, and quality specifications.
• Trim composite and plywood parts, edges, and bond lines to net dimensions while maintaining tight tolerances and high-quality finishes.
• Use calipers, micrometers, torque tools, and hand tools to measure, assemble, and verify components accurately.
• Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) to ensure consistent, compliant, and repeatable assembly and inspection processes.
• Perform quality inspection activities to verify that assemblies and components meet engineering drawings, specifications, and ISO 9001 quality standards.
• Conduct testing and basic troubleshooting on mechanical and electro-mechanical assemblies to identify issues and ensure proper function.
• Support root cause analysis activities to identify, document, and correct defects or process issues.
• Perform preventive maintenance on tools, equipment, and fixtures to maintain reliability and accuracy.
• Contribute to lean manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives, including the application of Six Sigma and other process improvement tools.
• Document work performed, inspection results, and any nonconformances in accordance with quality and procedural requirements.

• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and schematics.
• Proficiency in mechanical assembly and electro-mechanical assembly.
• Demonstrated ability to perform precision drilling, countersinking, and hole preparation on composite, plywood, and metallic structures to drawing tolerances.
• Experience preparing surfaces and applying structural adhesive bonds.
• Skill in installing structural fasteners, including rivets, blind fasteners, and threaded inserts, to torque and spacing specifications.
• Ability to trim composite and plywood parts, edges, and bond lines to net dimensions.
• Proficiency using calipers, micrometers, torque tools, and hand tools for measurement and assembly.
• Experience following standard operating procedures (SOPs) and detailed work instructions.
• Background in quality inspection and working within ISO 9001 quality systems.
• Ability to perform testing and troubleshooting on mechanical and electro-mechanical assemblies.
• Experience with root cause analysis to identify and resolve product or process issues.
• Familiarity with lean manufacturing practices.
• Understanding of Six Sigma principles.
• Ability to perform preventive maintenance on tools and equipment.

• Experience working with defense-related or high-reliability products is beneficial.
• Prior exposure to structured quality environments such as ISO 9001 is advantageous.
• Hands-on experience with electro-mechanical troubleshooting and diagnostics.
• Comfort working from detailed engineering documentation, including drawings and SOPs.
• Experience participating in continuous improvement initiatives, including lean and Six Sigma projects.
