As an Aircraft Engine Mechanic (Title 32), WG-8602-5/8/10, you will certify acceptable performance, test, repair, trouble-shoot, operationally check and modify aircraft turbine and auxiliary power units, and associated propulsion system components. Major duties include:

• Troubleshoot malfunctioning engines and interrelated propulsion system components, determines degree of disassembly or certification required, repairs or replaces defective components, diagnostic computers and associated hardware.
• Analyze malfunctions using schematic and wiring diagrams, blueprints, manufacturer's specifications, computer diagnostics data, inspection findings, trending data and aircrew debriefs.
• Perform engine run operation on installed and uninstalled engines to troubleshoot malfunctions or verify findings.
• Troubleshoot, modify, repair, and perform sequential disassembly and assembly of gearboxes and auxiliary power units.
• Perform evaluations that must be accomplished at critical points in the repair/build-up process using a variety of quality characteristics, consisting of complete systems or components and assemblies that undergo many steps in a repair process and have highly critical tolerances.
• Perform test cell operation of engine and aircraft run up, analyzes operating parameters, makes final adjustments and verifies that engine is operating within acceptable parameters for safe operation in the aircraft.
• Perform scheduled and special evaluations on installed engines, auxiliary power units, and associated airframe-mounted systems.
• Interpret Engine Management trend data and investigates trend anomalies to eliminate catastrophic engine failure or damage by the prediction and detection of adverse trends towards known failure modes before they occur.
• Requisition, process, and account for supply assets as required by the repairable processing system.
• Examine recurring malfunctions and initiate corrective actions by submission of quality deficiency or software deficiency reports.
• Perform computer data entry of engine and component information such as component location, status and tracking information into the Core Automated Maintenance System (CAMS) for fighter aircraft, and G081, (CAMS for Mobility) for multi-engine transport aircraft.
