Makes alignment and symmetry checks on completed aircraft to determine conformance to engineering specifications.
Prepares and maintains records of tool orders, rejections, new or re‑worked tools and notes deviations from engineering or tool design.
Stamps or otherwise approves acceptable items; rejects and initiates documentation to effect disposition of unacceptable items.
Desired Skills
Knowledge of tool inspection practices, part fabrication, assembly, and installation within field of specialty, of procedure of tool shop practice, and of plastics, used in tool manufacture.
Ability to use and interpret blueprints, loft information, layouts, shop mathematics, and tool shop practices.
Ability to survey tools and families of tools for practicability. Ability to use precision measurement instruments and gauges, to anticipate problems that might arise in the use of the tools and recommend changes and to work out corrections with planning, tool design and tool making organizations while tool is still in build‑up stage.
