Fabricate complex assemblies from technical blueprints, utilizing modular hole-grid tables and dedicated hard fixtures to achieve exact alignment and manage thermal distortion.
Responsibilities
Set up, configure, and utilize custom and modular tooling fixtures to securely lock workpieces to master datums, ensuring absolute repeatability across production runs.
Employ use of CMM Arm for locating, aligning and positioning. Using hard pins, V-blocks, and edge locators to eliminate manual measuring and achieve precise part geometry.
Implement aggressive distortion management strategies, including rigid clamping sequences to combat thermal shrinkage and prevent warping.
Execute high-quality welds (TIG, MIG, Flux-Core) on various metals and shapes according to strict blueprint engineering specifications and tolerances.
Inspect finished weldments against master reference points to verify compliance with structural and dimensional design constraints.
Operate all types of tools necessary to the job, including but not limited to wire feed welder, plasma cutter, oxygen and acetylene cutting torches, hand drill, hammer, needle gun, chisel, utility knives, putty scraper, disk sander, rivet gun, impact wrench, huck gun, grinder, clamps, combination square, automatic welder and tape measure
Weld in all positions such as vertical, flat, vertical lap and overhead
Set up various parts and assemblies for welding
Set machines up for carbon and stainless steel of various gauges
Place and move blocking, braces and jigs to hold parts
