Composite Fabricator Security Clearance

Position: COMPOSITE FABRICATOR with Security Clearance
Duties
1. Improves, modifies, fabricates, and designs repairs for low observable assemblies, sub-assemblies, and components ensuring proper weight to strength ratios are met and maintains structural and low observable integrity requirements including associated aircraft structural composites.
2. Performs a variety of extensive evaluations of weapons systems using a variety of complex tools and assessment equipment to assess that the proper radar cross section (RCS) signature according to the associated technical order data, mission requirements and other policy regulations, instructions, and guidance. Inspections will be done on weapons system structure, LO coating, and LO materials.
3. Performs repair, application, and maintenance of corrosion preventatives and paints on aircraft, powered, and non-powered AGE (aerospace ground equipment). Identifies metal corrosion. Performs necessary testing to identify type of corrosion present by examination with magnifying equipment, chemical and mechanical methods. Treats aircraft engines in accordance with applicable technical publications. Identifies, blends, stores, controls, and disposes of hazardous materials such as acids, caustics, alcohols, solvents, cleaners, primers and surface coatings used for corrosion removal, treatment and protection in accordance with applicable directives.

4. Collects, compiles, and records LO systems data for maintenance scheduling, statistical analysis, trending, and historical record. Performs data searches and reports findings as directed. Manages an array of related databases and spreadsheets to capture and catalog data elements for trending, information sharing working groups, and benchmarking. Responsible for documenting, obtaining, applying, securing, and protecting classified records, documents, hardware and software.

Analyzes trends in deficiencies, provides engineers and other entities with devised repair procedures, performs prototype repair while providing instructions to other employees.
5. Performs other duties as assigned.
