About The Position

The Aircraft Mechanic Machinist II produces replacement parts and new parts in making repairs of metal parts of mechanical equipment. Work involves most of the following: interpreting written instructions and specifications, planning and laying out of work, using a variety of machinist's hand tools and precision measuring instruments, setting up and operating standard machine tools. This incumbent is responsible for the shaping of metal parts to close tolerances, making standard shop computations relating to dimensions of work, tooling, feeds, and speeds of machining; knowledge of the working properties of the common metals, selecting standard materials, parts, and equipment required for this work; and fitting and assembling parts into mechanical equipment. In general, the machinist's work normally requires a rounded training in machine-shop practice, usually acquired through a formal apprenticeship or equivalent training and experience. Experience in Computer Numerical Controls (CNC) Mills and lathes programming, set up, operating, and maintaining. Experience with conventional machines: lathes, mills, honing machines and surface grinders. Experience with Omax water jet programming, set up, operating, and maintenance. Familiar with Fagor, Haas, Okuma, and Funuc controllers. Proficient with drawing on Master Cam and Bob Cad programming. Read blueprints, spec, tech manuals, DMWRs, and be able to reverse engineer parts that have no drawings. Proficient with heat treating all types of metals.
