Mission description
The Fabrication Assembler (FA) Level 1-3 is responsible for building custom, finished aircraft component parts based on unique, customer-specific design requirements. This is not typical assembly line workthe environment emphasizes low repetition & high customization, requiring adaptability, craftsmanship, & attention to detail. Successful candidates will thrive in a prototype & development environment, with work complexity ranging from entry-level (Level 1) to subject matter expert (Level 3). Fabrication and Assembly: Expertly fabricate & assemble interior panels & assemblies according to precise, program-specific processes. Manage multiple unique projects simultaneously, ensuring each meets stringent quality & customization standards Trim to Fit & Customization: Precisely trim, shape, & fit components to meet unique design requirements, demonstrating advanced customization skills for complex assemblies. Adapt fabrication techniques to accommodate varying materials & design Material Handling: Working with materials like adhesives, resins, honeycomb core, carpet, fiberglass, & aluminum, cutting, laying out, & processing them. Component Installation: Installing fittings like latches, hinges, & brackets, & preparing panels for adhesive application Finishing: Apply decorative finishes, perform complex bending & assembly using jigs & fixtures, & create high-quality vinyl laminate layups tailored to each project's unique specifications & product combinations Tool Operation: Utilizing various shop power tools, including routers, table saws, band saws, drill presses, pneumatic tools, rivet guns, specialty grinders, & other fabrication equipment Quality Control: Conducting visual checks, in-process rework, & maintaining records Troubleshooting: Identify fabrication & assembly challenges proactively, applying strong problem-solving skills to develop & implement effective solutions that maintain product integrity & schedule Following Instructions: Accurately interpret & adapt technical drawings, specifications, & verbal instructions to deliver highly customized, precision-fit components for each unique program Maintaining a Safe Environment: Adhering to safety protocols & maintaining a clean work area Behavioral Competencies: Collaborates well with all levels within the team Leads by example Has a teamwork attitude Reliable and trustworthy Enjoys learning & developing new skills Ability to communicate well with others Ability to prioritize, multi-task effectively, & work under pressure Technical Drawings: Ability to read & interpret technical drawings & schematics Attention to Detail: Ensuring accuracy & precision in all tasks Material Knowledge: Understanding of materials used in interior fabrication & assembly Physical Requirements: Occasional lifting of up to 50 pounds. Hearing & vision within normal ranges is essential for safe conduct on the manufacturing floor & to meet job responsibilities
Tool Proficiency: Experience using a wide range of hand & power tools, from basic hand tools to advanced shop equipment such as pneumatic tools, rivet guns, bucking bars, C-squeeze riveters, ratchet wrenches, nut runners, & specialty grinders Material Expertise: Deep knowledge of a broad range of materials used in aircraft interior fabrication, including adhesives, sealants, coatings, primers, chemical solvents, paints, composites, & specialty finishes like liquid nitrogen treatments. Understands the unique properties & handling requirements of each material to ensure quality fabrication Problem-Solving: Proven ability to diagnose & resolve fabrication issues, adapting techniques & processes to overcome unique challenges inherent in customized aircraft assembly Safety Awareness: Following safety protocols & maintaining a safe work environment Level 1:0-2 years of experience in a structural aerospace manufacturing environment preferred. Primarily works on first-stage articles with limited complexity. Collaborates closely with team leads and mentors for guidance & support. Demonstrates strong mechanical aptitude & a willingness to develop problem-solving skills Level 2: 2 to 5 years of manufacturing experience, with proficiency in interpreting, authoring, & executing assembly & component test requirements. Handles articles of moderate complexity, working alongside leads or managers to resolve issues. Supports customer First Article Inspections (FAI) & independently addresses fabrication & quality concerns. Develops & understands manufacturing process steps to fabricate & assemble customized products. Applies strong problem-solving skills & mechanical aptitude to troubleshoot & improve processes. Begins coaching & developing Level 1 assemblers, sharing knowledge & best practices to support team growth. Level 3: 5 years of experience in aerospace manufacturing, demonstrating advanced mechanical & electrical aptitude and knowledge. Works autonomously on highly complex articles, proactively identifying issues & implementing effective solutions. Collaborates with engineering and quality teams on prototype builds, offering design improvement recommendations for current & future products. Exhibits expert-level problem-solving abilities & technical insight. Provides leadership by coaching & mentoring lower-level assemblers, fostering skill development & promoting continuous improvement within the team. At Safran Cabin, we welcome diverse contributions & provide equal employment opportunity to all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex/gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/gender expression, marital status, pregnancy, age, national origin, ancestry, disability/medical condition, military or veteran status, citizenship status, genetic characteristics or information, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, & local laws
