What Youll Get To Do : CACI is looking for a
Fabricator/Sheet Metal Technician
to join the Model and Fabrication team at the Naval Surface Warfare Center at Carderock. This position is located in Bethesda, MD and is 100% on-site. This role involves fabricating complex, custom parts and developing innovative solutions for creating scale physical models, which are used to assess vessel structural, hydrodynamic, or signature properties. The technician will use extensive practical knowledge and skills to develop and execute innovative methods for producing high-tolerance components and models. This includes independently planning and completing assignments following Model Fabrication Facility policies and standards. Working Conditions
The technician will frequently work inside and outside of buildings. S/he will work in cold weather. S/he may be working in the hot sun. S/he will work in environments where ventilation or respirators may be necessary. S/he must be safety minded about themselves and others. S/he will check tools and equipment, and see their capacities are not exceeded; and that tools are kept in a safe working condition. Primary Responsibilities
Assisting welders with layout of assemblies Grinding (weld prep, backgrinding) Recording, logging weld parameters Operating Plate Roller (HY100, HY80, SS, and Al) Operating conventional and CNC press break, Box Break, shears Taking measurements utilizing mechanical and ultrasonic equipment (plate thicknesses, out of fairness, etc.) Operating and maintaining OMAX waterjets Operating cranes and forklifts to load and unload materials from waterjet machines. Breaking edges on finished waterjet parts Technical Duties
Develop CNC run codes for punching machine operations and apply qualitative and quantitative methods to determine the most efficient processes to meet fabrication drawing and specification requirements. Leverage expertise in model manufacturing, material properties, industrial processes, metal forming, and inspection methods to select materials and establish cost-effective setups for fabrication projects. Maintain and repair waterjet equipment. Create quotes for waterjet parts required for repairs and maintenance. Determine appropriate bend radii for various ferrous and non-ferrous materials, including aluminum alloys, mild steels, high-yield steels, stainless steels, copper, and bronze alloys. Assess the need for pre- or post-heat treatment, artificial aging, or annealing to ensure materials can be formed with available tools and equipment. Apply analytical techniques and technical expertise to identify the root cause of fit and finish deviations and other fabrication issues. Collaborate with technical specialists and program engineers to develop methods and processes that resolve current issues and prevent similar problems in future tasks. Design, build, and research specialized tooling and fixtures to support the production of complex components, ensuring high-quality models with tight tolerances. Provide schedule projections, including time estimates for developing jigs and fixtures, producing first-order samples or mockups, fabricating components, assembling models, and performing quality control checks and verifications. Independently plan, layout, set up, form, fasten, and construct objects and systems based on oral instructions, sketches, incomplete or complex drawings, or written instructions, with no past precedents available. Conduct tests, collect and interpret data, and document findings as required by model specification sheets. Typical data includes weld parameters, sheet metal thicknesses, geometric measurements, and heat requirements (pre, post, and interpass), along with any additional project-specific data. Collect data using laser tracking equipment, ultrasonic devices, and precision measuring instruments, including calipers, verniers, electronic protractors, squares, height gauges, depth gauges, indicators, and micrometers. Physical
Office, industrial and construction settings; the work requires the employee to spend most of the day standing, kneeling, or sitting in awkward positions. S/he will lift weights from 40 to 80 lbs. S/he will work from ladders and scaffolds, also trenches, and hard to reach places by bending, stretching, and stooping. This position is contingent on funding and may not be filled immediately. However, this position is representative of positions within CACI that are consistently available. Individuals who apply may also be considered for other positions at CACI. What You Can Expect
