Job description

Manufacturing Technician Precision Mechanical Assembly

Mechanical Fitter required to join an 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 expanding and seeking Precision Mechanical Assembly Technicians. The ideal candidate will have experience as a Mechanical fitter, ideally through an apprenticeship, with exposure to and familiarity with non-return valves, flow control valves, solenoid valves, cold gas thrusters, or other fluidic components used in the space industry.

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

Responsibilities

1. Perform precision assembly and testing activities in a Class 8 clean room environment.
2. Test the integrity of assembled systems using high-pressure gases and leak detection equipment such as helium mass spectrometers.
3. Clean components in preparation for assembly and testing using automatic particle counting equipment and patch sampling techniques.
4. Conduct electrical testing.
5. Perform gas flow testing of valves, thrusters, and fluidic components to ensure they meet tolerances prior to assembly.
6. Use digital voltmeters, oscilloscopes, data acquisition systems, and high-voltage dielectric and insulation resistance test equipment.
7. Engage in material joining processes including manual TIG welding, orbital welding, and compile weld inspection reports on parts and test pieces.
