Also requires the ability to perform all the processes and procedures\nrelated to the complete fabrication, assembly, test, and rework of Solar Array rigid\npanels, and wings, flex panels and wings, and mechanism assemblies.\nDevelop experimentally, or from engineering design information, the layout, parts\nfabrication, assembly and installation operations for incorporating major changes to or\nfor new solar arrays and mechanisms and structures to develop the physical design to\nmeet required specifications.\nWork from drawings shop orders, test procedures, and other authorizing documentation\nto independently perform fabrication and assembly of solar arrays, and mechanism,\nincluding but not limited to cell and substrate bonding, cell inspection, cell repair,\nsubstrate repairs, wiring/soldering, FCC installation, wire/connector termination, welding\nand brazing, and electrical tests. Install subassemblies such as solar array panels,\ndeployer assemblies, hinge assemblies, boom assemblies, dampers, wire harnesses, and\nelectrical/mechanical actuating mechanisms as required to complete the top assembly.\nAdjust, align, and functionally check the operation of mechanisms and mechanical\ncomponents.\nWork closely with authorized liaison personnel and suggest design changes for\nengineering approval when part or assembly cannot be made or installed as designed, or\ndoes not seem to meet functional demands, or where such changes will simplify\nfabrication, assembly, installation, test, and maintenance of solar array and mechanism\ndevices.\nDetermine or lay out interface points required for building or installation of solar arrays\nand mechanisms to ensure subsequent mating of fabricated or installed parts and\nassemblies and to determine location or prevent interference with other systems,\nstructures and installation. Perform all necessary operations to prove the functioning of\nsolar array mechanical and electrical systems and components. Fabricate, assemble, and\nclean Solar Array additive manufactured (3D Printed) parts for the use of shop aids, and\nflight for Solar Arrays and Mechanisms.\nWork with, or without, tooling in performing fabrication, repair, modification, assembly,\ninstallation, functional test and checkout operations of solar array structures,\nparts, assemblies, mechanical and electrical systems. This includes disassembly,\nmodification, repair and installation of mechanical and electrical systems and theirrelated parts and assemblies.\nInstruct others, as required, in the initial fabrication, assembly or installation of the\ndeveloped solar array parts and assemblies. Perform wing deployment, illumination and\nother mechanical and electrical tests as required.\nBasic Qualifications\nNormally requires ten years of experience in various solar array and mechanism\nclassifications. Complete knowledge of methods and requirements for fabricating and\nassembling structures and assemblies. Possess a good working knowledge of the\nphysical and working characteristics of structural materials.\nRead and interpret all types of engineering drawings and shop sketches.\nWork from incomplete design information and fill in detail from practical experience,\ntypical construction, and accepted practices. Work to tolerances as required for the type\nof work described herein.\nAbility to read and interpret detail assembly and installation blueprints, drawings, wiring\ncharts, wiring diagrams, and other authorizing documents. Working knowledge of basic\nelectrical principles, including continuity and insolation resistance checks.\nMust possess all certifications as required.\nDesired Skills\nAbility to obtain a security clearance\nPay Information\n$30.93 - $58.42\nAt Lockheed Martin, we know mission success starts with taking care of our people.
