Job description

Cleanroom Production Technician required to join a precision aerospace production team to work in a cleanroom environment on the assembly, integration, and testing of aerospace devices.

Our international Aerospace and Defence client is going through a continued period of expansion and is looking for Precision Mechanical Assembly Technicians. The ideal candidate will have experience as a Mechanical fitter, ideally through an apprenticeship, with exposure to and knowledge of the following: non-return valves, flow control valves, solenoid valves, cold gas thrusters, or any fluidic components for the space industry.

Training and skills development will be provided. Extended working hours may be required to meet production targets.

Responsibilities

1. Precision assembly and test activities in a Class 8 clean room.
2. Testing the integrity of assembled systems using high-pressure gases and leak detection equipment such as helium mass spectrometers.
3. Cleaning components in preparation for assembly and test activities using automatic particle counting equipment and patch sample counting techniques.
4. Electrical testing.
5. Gas flow testing of valves, thrusters, and fluidic components to ensure components are within tolerance prior to assembly.
6. Using digital voltmeters, oscilloscopes, data acquisition systems, high voltage dielectric, and insulation resistance test equipment.
7. Material joining processes including manual TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, orbital welding, and compiling weld inspection reports on parts and test pieces.
