Mechanical Manufacturing Inspector

Job Description:

Description:IAM Hourly represented employees who currently work at the main (Sunnyvale/Palo Alto) unit, Santa Cruz, Vandenburg Air Force Base or Eastern Range facilities must apply to open requisitions on Brass Ring to be considered for the position.

Plan inspection procedures for the complex precision tooling including: patterns, jigs, gauges, tool masters, fixtures, machine dies and machine tools involving closely coordinated locating points, dimensions and tooling holes in several planes not at right angles or parallel to one another, irregular contours requiring spring back and dimensional calculations, multiple acting principles and computation of compound angles. Assemble and use tooling information and data received and obtained from production, tooling, engineering and other departments concerned.

Set up tooling on surface plate or table, angle plate, sine plate, rotary or tilting table or other base in a position suitable for taking precision measurements with precision equipment to check dimensions, hole patterns, trim lines, parallelism and other specifications. Specialize in one of the following tool inspection fields and have a working knowledge of the others: a. Major assembly and/or machine tool jigs, fixtures, and tooling masters. b. Drop hammer, hydro-press and stretch dies. c. Punch press and power brake dies.
d. Wood and/or plaster patterns and masters models. e. Templates and master layouts.

Inspect precision tooling completely and make recommend necessary correction. Make progressive check of tool makers or jig and fixture builders layouts on large or complicated tooling during fabrication. Make alignment and symmetry checks on assemblies to determine their conformance to engineering specifications.

Make progressive check of tool makers or jig and fixture builders layouts on large or complicated tooling during fabrication. Make alignment and symmetry checks on assemblies or completed missiles to determine their conformance to engineering specification.
Write repair orders or recommend correction to tools and request necessary changes in tool design and engineering drawings to conform to current shop practice and tool making methods. Decide whether to have tools reworked or used as is, depending upon number of parts yet to be made. Determine responsible departments to which tooling rework should be charged.
Observe first-run or tool-test tryouts to determine the capacity of tools to produce parts or assemblies in conformance with the design requirements of engineering drawings, and the capacity of tool to produce parts on a quantity basis; analyze and determine corrective action required. Approve the release of tools to be used in the manufacture of production lots.
Prepare records of all new or reworked tools and note any deviations from engineering
or tool design.

Assembly inspection:
Inspect a variety of electrical and mechanical assemblies and equipment such as solar assemblies/arrays, mechanical satellite subassemblies, flight hardware subassemblies and top assemblies, vehicle harnesses and ground support cables, and ground support equipment for workmanship and manufacturing process conformity.
Visually review and compare with acceptable standards such processes and assembly operations as, plating, mechanical operations, polymerics, brazing, welding, swaging, lugging, splicing, routing, torquing and final assembly as related to mechanical and electrical subassemblies. Support hardware test setup and troubleshooting per test processes.

Recording, Reporting and Accept/Reject Responsibility:
1)Record inspection results in appropriate system including documenting non-conformance reports as designated.
2)Verify machine setups and machining tools and methods to work documents.
3)Report findings, particularly non-conforming units to operators, guiding personnel or
supervision. Accept or reject units
