ABOUT THE ROLE
PowerTech is a leading innovator in propulsion technologies, specializing in cutting-edge microjets, turbofan engines, and internal combustion engines. We are dedicated to advancing propulsion systems through rigorous testing, precision engineering, and robust manufacturing processes.
The End-of-Line Assembler is responsible for the final assembly and end-of-line operations of turbine systems, including the preparation of engines for acceptance testing and their finalization after test. This role requires a high level of attention to detail, manual dexterity, and adherence to strict quality and safety standards.
The assembler will perform final assembly operations following technical drawings, work instructions, and engineering specifications, and will support the test team by mounting units onto test adapters and fixtures, assisting with rigging and de-rigging, and performing post-test operations such as final configuration, preservation, marking, and packing. Due to the nature of the product, special care must be taken when handling delicate parts to avoid damage and ensure optimal performance.
This position involves performing fine adjustments, torque applications, and verifications throughout the end-of-line process to meet tight tolerances and functional requirements. The EOL Assembler is also expected to identify and report any discrepancies, maintain FOD (Foreign Object Debris) discipline in the assembly and test areas, and contribute to continuous improvement and product reliability.
