Job description

The Senior Production Technician – Aerospace Plumbing will support day-to-day technical operations related to fluid and pneumatic system fabrication, routing, testing, installation, and troubleshooting for advanced aircraft applications. In this role, you will perform tube bending, hose assembly, fitting installation, and system integration in accordance with engineering drawings, plumbing schematics, work instructions, and strict aerospace quality requirements. You will work both in-house and on-site as needed to ensure leak-free, high-reliability fluid power, cooling, and environmental control interconnections.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

Fabrication & Assembly: Perform rigid tube cutting, deburring, bending, flaring, swaging, soft-hose assembly, and fitting installation according to fluid schematics and technical drawings.

Installation & System Integration: Execute precise plumbing layout, routing, clamping, dressing, and integration of fluid lines (e.g., thermal management/liquid cooling, hydraulic, pneumatic, or fire suppression systems) on eVTOL airframes and battery modules.

Testing & Inspection: Conduct visual inspections, pressure testing (hydrostatic and pneumatic), leak detection (vacuum/helium), and proof testing using dedicated test rigs and measurement equipment.

Troubleshooting & Rework: Identify fluid system faults, pressure drops, contamination, or fitting leaks; perform root-cause diagnosis; and execute reworks, tube re-bends, or component replacements safely and efficiently.

Documentation & Process Control: Maintain precise, auditable records of inspection, pressure test logs, torque checks, and completed work activities in compliance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

Contamination Control & Safety: Adhere strictly to aerospace fluid cleanliness standards, cleanroom/clean-bench practices, system flushing protocols, and workplace safety regulations.

Maintenance & Continuous Improvement: Maintain and calibrate plumbing tools, tube benders, and pressure test skids; deliver regular updates on work progress, meet production schedules, and contribute to continuous improvement efforts.

Qualifications & Key Requirements

Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in Aerospace Plumbing, Fluid Systems Assembly, Tube Bending, Pressure Testing, and Installation (preferably in Aerospace, eVTOL, Aviation, or Defense manufacturing environments).

Education: ITI / Diploma in Mechanical, Aeronautical, Automobile, Electrical, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent practical experience).

Technical Proficiency:

Ability to read and interpret fluid schematics, mechanical engineering drawings, piping & instrumentation diagrams (P&ID), and work instructions.

Deep understanding of rigid tubing materials (aluminum, stainless steel, titanium), benders, flaring tools, medium/high-pressure fittings (AN, MS, AS, Swagelok), and hose crimping.

Hands-on expertise with liquid cooling loops (crucial for eVTOL battery/powertrain thermal management), hydraulic lines, or pneumatic systems.

Proficiency operating pressure test benches, helium/vacuum leak detectors, and precision torque tools.

Quality & Safety Standards: Direct working knowledge of aerospace fluid cleanliness standards (e.g., AS4059, ISO 4406), pressure safety protocols, and quality control systems.

Skills & Attributes: Strong mechanical troubleshooting capabilities, meticulous attention to detail, solid communication skills, and safety-conscious workflow.

Mobility: Willingness to travel and support integration at customer or flight-test sites as required.

Competitive salary and benefits package.

Opportunities for professional growth and development.

Work on exciting and challenging projects that push the boundaries of manufacturing.

Be part of a dynamic and innovative team.
