DIMENSION CONTROL TECHNICIAN 4

The Role

Lays out, fabricates, and assembles a variety of standard and nonstandard major jigs, fixtures, tool masters, master tooling gauges, and related tooling involving compound angles and complex contours where the establishment and coordination to exacting tolerances of numerous tooling holes and reference points between several planes are required. Performs measurement surveys using photogrammetry, total stations, laser trackers or other electronic 3-D instruments. Uses computer aided designs (CAD) graphic user interface software for design. Plans work to be performed and determines methods and sequence of operations working from tool design drawings or own designs. Sets up and operates optical instruments to check overall and detailed alignment, fit, or adjustment of assemblies. Develops and designs holding devices and jig and fixture details. Prepares operational sequences and shop drawings covering parts fabrication and assembly to be performed by others. May monitor and verify quality in accordance with statistical process or other control procedures.

This position is responsible for performing complex and varied technical duties supporting Accuracy Control, construction validation, and process improvement throughout hull construction. The role frequently acts as a lead worker and technical resource, providing guidance to technicians, craft, and project teams. Work requires advanced knowledge, independent judgment, and the ability to coordinate with both internal and external stakeholders.
