Production Technician I (Weekday 2nd shift)

The Technician I Production performs calibration and functional tests on subassemblies and end items

of moderate complexity in accordance with established procedures. The Technician I also performs

more complicated testing under close direction in support of high-volume production test operations.

 Perform assigned testing operations within assigned functional area

 Create non-conformance reports including detailed description of testing performed,

resulting failure and initial root cause investigation results

 Interpret and work in accordance with work orders, and engineering drawings, functional and

acceptance test procedures, failure reports, manuals and all other applicable engineering and

production specifications

 Calibrate or otherwise adjust assigned units by such means as potentiometer adjustment,

clocking or other positioning, shimming, tension or coil adjustments, bearing and gear

adjustments, as appropriate for specific unit; Make required mathematical calculations for

voltage, resistance, current, impedance, amplification, flow rate and mass, mechanical

dimensions and adjustments

 Perform automated testing and performance testing using a variety of automated testing

equipment and special test console to simulate in-service specifications, including but not

limited to: vibe, burn in, thermal cycle and leak test, or hydraulic testing

 Perform manual testing involving setup, adjustment, operation and interpretation of results

from standard and special purpose test equipment, applicable to assigned product area, such

as differential and multi-meters, signal generators, power supplies, bridges, oscilloscopes,

altitude chamber, flow meter and hi-pot, or hydraulic valves

 Test units in other programs not normally worked on, and units of greater complexity under

close supervision

 Practice safe work habits as established by OSHA and Crane policy
