Job Description
The Fabrication Assembler (FA) Level 1-3 is responsible for building custom, finished aircraft component parts based on unique, customer-specific design requirements. This is not typical assembly line work—the environment emphasizes low repetition and high customization, requiring adaptability, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Successful candidates will thrive in a prototype and development environment, with work complexity ranging from entry-level (Level 1) to subject matter expert (Level 3).
Fabrication and Assembly:
Expertly fabricate and assemble interior panels and assemblies according to precise, program-specific processes. Manage multiple unique projects simultaneously, ensuring each meets stringent quality and customization standards.
Trim to Fit & Customization:
Precisely trim, shape, and fit components to meet unique design requirements, demonstrating advanced customization skills for complex assemblies. Adapt fabrication techniques to accommodate varying materials and design.
Material Handling:
Work with materials like adhesives, resins, honeycomb core, carpet, fiberglass, and aluminum, cutting, laying out, and processing them.
Component Installation:
Install fittings like latches, hinges, and brackets, and prepare panels for adhesive application.
Finishing:
Apply decorative finishes, perform complex bending and assembly using jigs and fixtures, and create high-quality vinyl laminate layups tailored to each project's unique specifications and product combinations.
Tool Operation:
Utilize shop power tools, including routers, table saws, band saws, drill presses, pneumatic tools, rivet guns, specialty grinders, and other fabrication equipment.
Quality Control:
Conduct visual checks, in-process rework, and maintain records.
Troubleshooting:
Identify fabrication and assembly challenges proactively, applying strong problem-solving skills to develop and implement effective solutions that maintain product integrity and schedule.
Following Instructions:
Accurately interpret and adapt technical drawings, specifications, and verbal instructions to deliver highly customized, precision-fit components for each unique program.
Maintaining a Safe Environment:
Adhere to safety protocols and maintain a clean work area.
Job Requirements
Technical Drawings:
Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and schematics.
Tool Proficiency:
Experience using a wide range of hand and power tools, including pneumatic tools, rivet guns, bucking bars, C-squeeze riveters, ratchet wrenches, nut runners, and specialty grinders.
Material Expertise:
Knowledge of materials used in aircraft interior fabrication, including adhesives, sealants, coatings, primers, chemical solvents, paints, composites, and specialty finishes. Understands handling requirements to ensure quality fabrication.
Material Knowledge:
Understanding of materials used in interior fabrication and assembly.
Attention to Detail:
Ensuring accuracy and precision in all tasks.
Problem-Solving:
Ability to diagnose and resolve fabrication issues, adapting techniques and processes to overcome challenges in customized aircraft assembly.
Teamwork:
Collaborating with others to achieve production goals.
Safety Awareness:
Following safety protocols and maintaining a safe work environment.
Experience Levels:
Level 1: 0-2 years in a structural aerospace manufacturing environment preferred. Works on first-stage articles with limited complexity; collaborates with leads/mentors; develops problem-solving skills.
Level 2: 2-5 years of manufacturing experience; interprets, authors, and executes assembly and component test requirements; supports customer First Article Inspections (FAI) and addresses fabrication/quality concerns; develops manufacturing process steps and mentors Level 1 assemblers.
Level 3: 5+ years in aerospace manufacturing; works autonomously on highly complex articles; collaborates with engineering/quality on prototype builds; provides leadership by coaching lower-level assemblers.
But what else? (advantages, specific features, etc.)
Behavioral Competencies:
Collaborates with all levels, leads by example, demonstrates teamwork, reliability, willingness to learn, effective communication, and ability to prioritize and multi-task under pressure.
Physical Requirements:
Occasional lifting up to 50 pounds. Normal hearing and vision required for safe operation on the manufacturing floor.
