This occupation requires the layout, parts fabrication, assembly, installation, mating and mechanical checkout of structures, structural components and systems for the purpose of proving research design on new developmental and/or mock-up assemblies. Includes experimental building or modification of prototype test structures from loft and preliminary design information.
Must be able to and normally does perform the following duties:
Develop experimentally, or from research design information, the bench and structural layout work, parts fabrication from raw stock, assembly, installation and mating operations for incorporation of major revisions to, or for, new structures to develop the physical design to meet required specifications.
Work from such general data as provided by preliminary design drawings, loft lines, sketches and/or oral research information.
Work closely with authorized liaison personnel, and suggest, verbally or by sketches, design changes for research approval when part or assembly cannot be made or installed as designed, or does not seem to meet functional demands, or where such changes will simplify fabrication, assembly and installation of laboratory structural components.
Improvise tools, or work without tooling in fabricating, assembling, installing and mating parts and assemblies as necessary. Improvise laboratory aids, handling and test equipment in the performance of the aforementioned duties.
Determine or lay out coordination points required for building of tooling or parts to insure subsequent mating of fabricated or installed parts and assemblies and/or to determine location of, or prevent, interference with other systems, structures or installations. Perform all necessary
operations to prove completion and coordination of structure or mechanical components.
Work with, or without, tooling in performing fabrication, repair, modification, assembly, installation, mating, functional test and checkout operations of structures, structural parts and assemblies, and mechanical systems.
Make complete set-up and operate machine shop equipment as required, making improvised setups with angle plates, blocks, vises, chucks and clamps. Check completed work with machinists gauges to insure that physical dimensions, angles, tapers, surfaces, etc., meet specifications.
