Previous solder certification.
Ability to wear PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
Utilizes simple engineering drawings, engineering change notices, schematics and similar data which broadly depict the work to be performed.
Installs parts, subassemblies and assemblies where locations are pre-determined, obtained from adjacent parts or located by simple measurement from fixed points.
Assembles optical and mechanical assemblies consisting of a number of optical elements and mechanical components. Assures proper orientation of optical elements and uses care in placing into position optical and mechanical components. Bonds optical elements into mechanical housings and prepares RTV rubber compounds, epoxies, and UV cements in accordance with directions provided. Places elements in housing and centers using mechanical centering tools such as pins and shims. Utilizes existing set-ups of auto collimation, zygo machine and other optical alignment equipment during assembly build. Measures and records step heights between optics and housing.
Performs visual, continuity, pressure, leak, in-process checks as may be required to verify completed work.
Performs tapping, reaming, scraping, filing, lapping, adjusting, collimating and measuring.
Fabricates simple wire harnesses, assemblies, and subassemblies of electrical, electronic, electro-mechanical, and electro-optical devices.
Performs simple fabrication and assembly operations utilizing microscopes, drill presses, pin presses, torque wrenches, soldering and de-soldering tools, various hand tools, simple measuring instruments and continuity buzzers.
Performs simple operations such as wire cutting, soldering, stripping, bending, splicing, bundling, wire routing, marking, crimping, swaging, connector fabrication, mixing, bonding potting, embedding, encapsulation, drilling with tooling or pilot holes where tolerances are not critical, routing, riveting, optical handling, optical cleaning, simple optical assembly, , touch-up brush conformal coating and chem film, and other similar activities associated with production assembly operations.
