Military DoD SkillBridge Program - Advanced Machining & Inspection

Military DoD SkillBridge ProgramThe Military DoD SkillBridge program is an opportunity for Service members to gain valuable civilian work experience through specific industry training, apprenticeships, or internships during the last 180 days of service. SkillBridge connects Service members with industry partners in real-world job experiences under Dept. of Defense Instruction 1322.29. Separating Service members can be granted up to 180 days of permissive duty to focus solely on training full-time with approved industry partners after unit commander provides written authorization and approval. GE Aviation as a Skill Bridge partner offers real-world training and work experience in in-demand fields of work while having the opportunity to evaluate the Service member's suitability for the work. Military DoD SkillBridge participants are not eligible for compensation from GE Aviation, as they continue to receive military compensation and benefits as active-duty service members.Job DescriptionRoles and ResponsibilitiesJob tasks may include:Set up a variety of manufacturing machine tools and/or specialized equipment within businessOperate a variety of manufacturing machine tools and/or specialized equipment such as, millers, grinders, presses, various lathes, etc., both conventional and numerically controlled, to produce hardware that meets close tolerance limitationsUse various precision gages/inspection measuring equipment/fixturing to mechanically and visually, inspect products/hardwarePerform intermediate mathematical calculationsPerforming machine-control offsets to enable the production of products that meet close tolerance limitationsInterpret intermediate level mechanical blueprints, sketches, engineering specifications and/or drawings, etc., to determine set ups, operations, inspections necessary to complete job tasksIdentifying and controlling the processing of quality-related nonconforming and/or noncompliant products and materials, such as the Preliminary Review quality process, etc.Perform related environmental, health, safety, maintenance, quality, production-flow, continuous improvement job duties to support plant machinery, equipment, and manufacturing-related initiatives and programsTraining dutiesMaintain detailed job task documentation, reports, and recordsRequired QualificationsActive Military personnel on their last 180 days before separating from Military ServiceHigh School diploma/GED with a minimum of 2 years of experience in manufacturing machine tool and equipment operations; OrTechnical Certificate from an accredited educational institution with a minimum of 18 months of experience in manufacturing machine tool and equipment operations; OrBachelor's or associate degree in a technically related field from an accredited university or college with a minimum of 6 months experience in manufacturing machine tool and equipment operationsDesired QualificationsDemonstrated proficiency in both the setup of conventional and numerically controlled manufacturing machine tools and equipment and intermediate mechanical blueprint/drawing/engineering specification reading and interpretationExperience in performing intermediate mathematical calculations involving decimals, ratios, and percentagesExperience in use of various precision gages, measuring tools and equipment such as, micrometers, dial calipers, height gages, special fixturing, coordinate measuring machine and/or optical comparatorsDemonstrated use of oral and written communication skillsExperience in quality-related procedures requiring identification and controlling processing of nonconforming and/or noncompliant products and materials, such as the Preliminary Review processExperience in Lean Six Sigma fundamentalsDemonstrated ability in maintaining relationships by recognizing needs and sensitivities of others and cooperating and resolving conflicts that inspire the Team in achieving objectives and deliverablesDemonstrated ability in receiving guidance and supervision, following work rules, safety practices, work procedures; meeting deadlines; and punctuality and attendance standardsThis role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information.
