About The Position

The Aircraft Mechanic performs a variety of simple to moderately complex tasks on airplane general, airframe and powerplant systems. This role involves performing maintenance on aircraft, including mechanical and avionics systems, and/or ground support equipment. The mechanic will repair, inspect, and maintain structural, mechanical, and electrical elements of the aircraft. A key aspect of this role is the ability to train others in the use of various diagnostic devices, computers, and hand/mechanical tools, and to provide oversight for aircraft-related maintenance tasks. The position may also include Designated System Inspector (DSI) duties and requires troubleshooting systems to meet customer needs. Documentation of maintenance is critical, adhering to Quality Assurance (QA) and established regulatory requirements. The role also emphasizes Foreign Object Damage (FOD) prevention through regular walks and strict tool control, reporting any issues to a supervisor. Compliance with safety rules and regulations is mandatory, with prompt reporting of any accidents or violations. The mechanic will use NASA’s automated maintenance data system (NAMIS) for equipment records, entering descriptions of work performed and verifying its satisfactory completion. Additional duties may include assembling structural parts, performing aircraft corrosion control (washing, cleaning, detection, removal, treatment, and painting), and checking repairs for serviceability according to specifications and technical publications. The role may require domestic and international travel.
