Job Summary
Job Summary:
Fabrication & Assembly: Perform rigid tube cutting deburring bending flaring swaging soft-hose assembly and fitting installation according to fluid schematics and technical drawings.
Installation & System Integration: Execute precise plumbing layout routing clamping dressing and integration of fluid lines (e.g. thermal management/liquid cooling hydraulic pneumatic or fire suppression systems) on eVTOL airframes and battery modules.
Testing & Inspection: Conduct visual inspections pressure testing (hydrostatic and pneumatic) leak detection (vacuum/helium) and proof testing using dedicated test rigs and measurement equipment.
Troubleshooting & Rework: Identify fluid system faults pressure drops contamination or fitting leaks; perform root-cause diagnosis; and execute reworks tube re-bends or component replacements safely and efficiently.
Documentation & Process Control: Maintain precise auditable records of inspection pressure test logs torque checks and completed work activities in compliance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
Contamination Control & Safety: Adhere strictly to aerospace fluid cleanliness standards cleanroom/clean-bench practices system flushing protocols and workplace safety regulations.
Maintenance & Continuous Improvement: Maintain and calibrate plumbing tools tube benders and pressure test skids; deliver regular updates on work progress meet production schedules and contribute to continuous improvement efforts.
