Overview of the Position:

Assist in the reverse engineering and drawing creation of FAA approved aftermarket aircraft parts by programming and operating a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) using PC-DMIS or OGP Zone3 and other precision measuring tools, and providing feedback and recommendations to engineers regarding part features, drawing layout and GD&T usage.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Proficiently run existing PC-DMIS or OGP Zone3 programs and write basic programs used to collect part data to assist in the reverse engineering of aircraft parts
• Competently use basic precision hand tools, such as an Optical Comparator, Micrometer, Height Gage, etc. to provide consistently accurate inspection of components and assemblies
• Analyze and review part blueprints and provide feedback and recommendations related to drawing layout and proper application of GD&T concepts
• Create and run repeatable part programs of any complexity on the CMM using MC-DMIS and gather dimensional data.
• Provide training and mentorship of others in the care, operation, and programming of Coordinate Measuring Machines
• Create and update relevant training materials
• Occasionally use precision hand tools, such as an Optical Comparator, Micrometer, Height Gage, etc. to provide accurate inspection of components and assemblies
• Use 3D CAD software to align and modify models and evaluate part scan data.
• Collaborate closely with engineering and metrology groups to ensure department goals are achieved
• Use precision metrology measurement tools to analyze parts/features
• Create dimensional data reports in Excel
• Manage time effectively and consistently meet task deadlines
• Perform special projects or assignment to support department

Other Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
