EXPERIENCE

**/****– Present; 40 hours per Week; Machinist; WG-3414-10; last promoted not specified; permanent employee; not on a temporary promotion; FRC East, Cherry Point, NC 28533; Sam Poss, 252-***-****; may contact supervisor.

As a self-motivated machinist, I independently employ extensive knowledge of industrial production operations to setup and effectively utilize machine tools and their accessories to perform rework to accessories and components, to modify and to manufacture aircraft parts. I Manufacture and repair Flight Critical components and Critical Safety Items (CSI) to ensure the quality and integrity of the component has no negative effect on critical safety of flight aircraft systems. Examine parts and components to ensure they conform to specified data. By making sound decisions I make recommendations to Engineers and Aircraft Examiner (E&E) to scrap rather than make repairs if Beyond Economical Repair (BER). I perform all work I.A.W. NAVAIR instruction 4790.2C Naval Aviation Maintenance Program and all applicable FRC East Instructions

Using Machining Technology, I am able to routinely setup, operate, troubleshoot, edit, and program multi-axis Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) mills, (Grob, Toyoda, Shark, Deckel-Maho, Fadal Machining Center, CNC HAAS & CNC Prototrac mill), manual milling and lathe machine tools, CNC Doosan, and also surface grinders to maintain tolerances as close as .0002” or as specified in technical data and perform Statistical Process Control (SPC) to maintain dimensional tolerances. Work with Computer Aided Design (CAD) to digitally scan parts. On a daily basis I work closely with different types of software that aid me in doing my day to day machinist duties such as (GibbsCAM, CAM 2 Measure 10.0, CIMCO, Microsoft word, excel).

As a CNC machinist I routinely check and verify dimensional callouts on parts that I have manufactured, with the use of 3D modeling and the portable Faro Arm. First I would need to download the step file into the CAM2 software, then I can import the model into CAM2 and align it with the world coordinate system. For this to happen you must pick from cad the surfaces you wish to align the model to. Then you must measure points on each of the selected surfaces that were chosen from the cad model. Once the surfaces have been measured an iterative alignment will need to be performed to align the model and the points in the correct orientation. When the alignment is done I will surface point inspect the part. This involves mapping the entirety of the part with points so all features are covered and nothing is missed. Now I take measurements in accordance with the numbers I place on all the features. While measuring these features I create folders in the program. This helps me keep everything neat. After all dimensions and features are measured tolerances are applied by going to the preferences, settings and changing tolerances on your geometries. If any dimensions are out of tolerance the software will let you know. Once I have completed measuring the part, I preserve the part in Corrosion Preventive Compound (CPC) and wrap in plastic protective wrap to keep protected from handling through the facility in accordance with FRC East Instruction 4030.1T.

As the lead prove out machinist, I am tasked with many of the prove-outs for the Grob 550 / 750 5-axis CNC machines. I was also chosen to be a big part in proving out the post for the new Grob 750. These machines have true 5 axis simultaneous movement capabilities. Many of the parts run on these machines will be run as true 5-axis parts and require specialized knowledge, training and understanding of complex CNC strategy. With true 5-axisparts, I must understand the program of the part being run and know exactly what the next movement will be. The slightest miscalculation can result in a collision or failure of these large and complex machines. I also take it upon myself the task of training both senior artisans and new artisans on the Grob 550 / 750 Siemens controller. I also keep both of the Grob machines oiled, cleaned and the work area in compliance with all FRC instructions.

As a mentor and a subject matter expert my communications skills and knowledge allow me to give successful on the job training (OJT), weekly to new hires, co-ops, apprentices and fellow artisans. This would include assigning trainees with various tasks, communicating knowledge of all shop practices, policies, laws, regulations, and all safety procedures. I have made it a goal to help mentor others, pass on good morals and ethics and try to always be available for any need or concern from my fellow employees and management. I try to instill the importance for good housekeeping, tool control and safety to my fellow artisans. I will also ensure my fellow employees receive the proper training on any machinery in the 93552 shop. My trade knowledge and skills enable me to give on the job training to facilitate to them how to set-up a variety of machines and all of their attachments on complex parts and components with close tolerances, referring to the required documentation and technical directives to ensure, and verify correct machining practices are performed.

To ensure all tolerances are met per technical specifications and the depth of rework is controlled, as well as to eliminate unnecessary machining and wasted manpower. My computer skills enables me to instruct artisans and trainees on how to correctly research all current technical data using the following; Instructions manuals (IPB’s), Engineering Specifications, Temporary Engineering Instructions (TEI), Local Engineering Instructions (LES), Manufacture Blueprints from Electronic Storage & Retrieval System (ESRS), and Joint Engineering Data Management Information and Control System (JEDMICS) to attain the latest tech data using the computer base NAVAIR internet. To ensure all critical quality characteristics are met, I would measure, verify and certify work of the trainees to ensure tolerances are within technical specification. I will consult with upper management to ensure all on the job training (OTJ) sheets are turned in so all progress for the employees that I train will be tracked. Also I will recommend what type of training should take place, such as interpretation of blue prints and understanding the controls and limits of machines. I provide technical advice to Quality Assurance Specialist (QAS), Engineering, Aircraft Examiner (E&E), Industrial Engineering Technicians (IET’s), and Artisans in troubleshooting and corrective action to develop procedures and recommendations to eliminate complex problems during the machining process.

I work in conjunction with Examination and Evaluation (E&E) personnel and the Quality Assurance Specialist (QAS) to manufacture, modify, repair, rework, fit, fabricate, assemble, and overhaul aircraft parts, components, and accessories to meet the specified requirements. Some of my additional responsibilities include utilizing computing systems for the review and analysis of engineering drawings, digital solid models, and various other forms of technical data used for manufacturing or repairing aircraft components on Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machines. I have worked with QAS to conduct studies that include quality investigations and quality audits to determine that technical requirements are met and inspect parts to determine if dimensional requirements are correct. As deficiencies are discovered, I work in coincidence with QAS performing Root Cause Analysis so continued deficiencies do not occur. I use Analytical Trouble Shooting, technical methods and investigative techniques to ensure the quality and reliability of products.

Most recently, I was chosen to work on a project for the F-35 program. The part number was VR45598-S002-39990761 Fuel Tank Fitting. This job was chose to run on the Grob 550 5-axis horizontal mill. This particular part needed to be made ASAP in order to get the aircraft back functional. In order to achieve this we had to sift through all the Technical Data, Temporary Engineering Instructions (TEI), Aircraft Specifications and Standards. Then using the information gathered and programming software CAD/CAM generated a manufacturing program for the part. I uploaded the program from SharePoint to see which tools I needed for this job. Now I had to find and set each of my tools using the laser setter in the machine. Once the tools were all set, I combed through the program to ensure there weren’t any errors and the best way to do this was, using the render feature on GIbbsCam. This allows you to watch the entire program run through from start to finish, each operation so you can notice any anomalies. After I rendered my program and saw there weren’t any errors I proceeded cautiously to run the part until the first few operations were complete. Then I was able to take a few measurements to assure I was right where I should be. I then finished running the part until completion. After completion I had to carefully deburr and break any sharp edges. Probably the most important part of this whole process, is the inspection of dimensional tolerances. I did this by using the Faro Arm and Cam 2 software.

Recently, I have worked on part # 75A180210-2003 (Bottom Rib Rudder). This job was run on the Grob 550 5 axis. When I first started proving this part out I noticed an issue with one of the radius’ in the model. I contacted engineering and after some troubleshooting they decided the radius needed to be opened up and they sent me an updated model. When these parts were manufactured the first time there were issues with extreme tool chatter. So myself and the programmer worked together, trying multiple different tool paths and were able to reduce the amount of chatter tremendously. We also made the setup more rigid. We designed and manufactured five fixtures that would be installed on the part during the program at different times to give the part a lot more rigidity. By doing this we were also able to cut the run time down to a third of what it was to make this program more efficient.

I have been working on a job (75A240610-2003 " Rib Rudder Fitting ") with the programmer and engineer. We had to have a TEI " Temporary Engineering Instruction" so that we could add some holes to this part that originally this operation was done with the Jig Bores. So in order to do this the TEI was issued and then we had to have a fixture because of the awkward angle of the hole locations. After the fixture was made and we attempted to run our first part, it had to be checked on the Faro Arm to ensure the hole locations and diameters were correct. In checking the holes, then QA also checked them before running anymore parts since this was the first order of many to come. Everything checked good so we moved ahead in our process to continue manufacturing these.

I have worked closely with Programming, Engineering and QA on PN 652**-*****-*** Sponson. The stock had to be roughed out before it could be heat treated this time because of the extreme amount of material that had to be removed from the center of the stock. We were concerned this would cause some warp and bow in the material so we collaborated together and came up with an idea to design and manufacture a fixture for the stock to clamp to so it would give it more rigidity. After the part was complete I had to debur and clean the part then decipher which dimensions I could hard gage according to the blueprint. Then using the Faro arm I measured each of the remaining relevant dimensions on the print. And lastly I measured the GD&T "Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing points with the Faro.
