What are the responsibilities and job description for the Aerospace Tooling Fixtures Assembly Lead position at SB Tool?

What if you could build the tools that build aircraft?


If you're the person others rely on to turn complex prints into precise, working fixtures—and you enjoy leading from the front—this role is for you.

Imagine Your First 90 Days


Own the build: interpret prints, confirm customer requirements, and execute the build plan. Do the math: calculate unspecified dimensions; choose materials; lay out designs. Pinpoint accuracy: establish reference points and tooling holes using straightedges and precision measuring tools. Lead the crew: fit and assemble tooling components for aerospace customers; coach, inspect, and deliver on time. Fix what's needed: perform repairs and rework to keep tooling production-ready. Communicate visually: prepare sketches/drawings for the fabrication team. Get hands-on: operate lathes, Bridgeports, and grinders as needed. Adapt and assist: take on additional duties to hit milestones.
