    • Perform riveting and other aircraft fastening methods to a high structural standard.
    • Install fabricated or repaired sheet metal components on aircraft undergoing avionics modifications.
    • Assist avionics teams by routing wires, removing structures, and prepping work areas for modification activities.
    • Ensure all work is performed in accordance with FAA regulations, aircraft maintenance manuals, L2 Aviation RSQCM, and approved technical documentation.
    • Construct jigs, dollies, and special tools needed for structural fabrication or repair.
    • Research and identify structural solutions to meet engineering objectives.
    • Maintain awareness of program schedules and proactively report any risks or delays to leadership.
