Summary of Experience:
Aerostar Aerospace: 3/15 – 4/16
Manual Machinist:
Set up manual mills, lathes, drills, saws, and grinders to machine aerospace parts, castings, and forgings to meet aerospace engineering standards and close tolerances as shown on prints sketches and verbal instruction. Set up and assemble fixtures to hold castings and parts. Measure and check parts and castings using micrometers, calipers, scales, height gages, optical comparators.
HONEYWELL (IDEXCEL): 9/13 – 2/15
MANUFACTURING TECHNICIAN:
Build prototype parts and assemblies for engineering as needed from prints, sketches and verbal instruction to meet engineering standards.
HAR-PHILL MACHINE: 5/12 – 9/13
MACHINE OPERATOR:
Operate CNC 5 Axis Mills with Fanuc controls. Editing programs as needed. Changing cutters and tooling as needed. Checking close tolerance holes and locations on shafts.
SPIRIT AEROSYSTEM: 2/08 – 5/12
6 AXIS NC SKIN DRILL SYSTEMS:
Download job using Fanuc controls, vacuum skin panel down on to hard tooling, locating tooling holes on part to locating holes on tool, set proper tool length on drills and cutters, probe part using Renishaw Probe checking for correct orientation between tool and machine, set up machine, run program containing G codes drilling all holes, routing cutouts, and mill finished profile, edit programs, calculate machine feels and speed for soft and hard metals. Monitor the feeds and speeds of machines during the machining process. Measure dimensions of finished work-pieces to ensure conformance to specifications. I also have the ability to determine causes of operating errors and to find a solution to the problem. Sign paperwork out and complete job on SAP system, then send job out to next operation using shuttle.

LABORATORY TECHNICIAN: The Boeing Company 1986 - 2005
As a Laboratory Technician, in the Test Organization, fabricate tooling for test, machine test coupons, with specified edge finishing. Machine, assemble and deliver parts to Structural Test Technology (Engineering) for aluminum, titanium, steels and composite test program. (Test coupons require much tighter tolerances, with many test variable, requiring greater attention to details than under normal manufacturing conditions.) Operated all the various machines listed above performing turning, boring, facing and threading parts such as castings, forgings, and bar stock.
MACHINIST – BLUESTREAK: The Boeing Company 1986 - 2005
Fabricated one time parts to fill shortages and/or rework as well as building prototype parts, with varying tolerance and edge finishes, for factory requirements. Built tools and drill fixtures in support of manufacturing of prototype parts.
FLIGHT TEST OPERATIONS: The Boeing Company 1986 - 2005
In Flight test I built electrical cables using specified connectors, conducted ringing of cables to check for continuity and for the presence of a short, I also performed some soldering of pin connections. In another area of the shop I fabricated instrumentation panels using metal breaks, shears, drills, disc sanders and various hand tools.
MANUFACTURING HELPER: The Boeing Company 1986 - 2005
Deburring various parts and holes, edge finishing with specified edge radius, using finishing machines and hand tools.
