Plans, lays out, constructs, modifies, tests, and maintains
laboratory test equipment and related structural assemblies used
to test experimental aircraft and space vehicle parts and
assemblies, using precision instruments, handtools, power tools,
and shop equipment: Reads and interprets blueprints, engineering
drawings, and sketches, or receives verbal instructions, to
determine methods and sequence of operations to lay out and
construct mechanical, electrical, electronic, pneumatic, or
hydraulic test equipment and related structures. Lays out and
fabricates parts from assotred materials, such as aluminum,
steel, wood, plastic, and graphite composites, using measuring
instruments and shop equipment, such as saws, shears, drill
presses, lathes, and routers. Fits, aligns, and assembles parts,
equipment, specialized test devices, and structural framework to
bulid test units, using precision measuring instruments, such as
transit and level, power tools, rivets, bolts, clamps, pins, and
other fasteners.
Installs, or assists other workers in
installing, test specimens in test equipment, using hoist,
overhead crane, or related equipment. Assists engineers in
operating test equipment to obtain research data on performance
of experimental parts and assemblies under varying operational
conditions.
Diagnoses test equipment malfunctions and services
and rpeairs equipment as required.
May repair test specimens
damaged during testing to prepare item for retesting. May
specialize in constructing mechanical, electrical, electronic,
pneumatic, hydraulic, or structural test equipment.
