Requirements:

SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE WG-06: specialized experiences in the inspection, repair, modification, removal, installation, troubleshooting, and data documentation of Low Observable (LO) signature systems and structures. The applicant must have the competencies to work LO aircraft designs and structures. Experienced in conducting testing procedures, prevention of metal corrosion, and material failure. Skilled in applying RCS signature reduction techniques and design elements and skilled in the use of various complex tools and equipment. The applicant must have the working knowledge of metal strength characteristics (annealing, tempering, and normalizing); along with composite and LO material characteristics and experienced in selecting proper materials for repair actions. Must have a working knowledge of health hazards associated with maintenance and proper mitigation procedures, such as decontamination and housekeeping. Skilled in assembling and repairing aircraft parts and components using specialized fasteners, classified adhesives and advanced composites. The applicant must have the working knowledge of assigned computer systems such as, IMIS, IMS, ALIS, SAS, and/or LOHAS used for maintenance planning, technical instruction, and maintenance documentation. Competent in identifying proper repair materials using engineering drawings to ensure correct radar band frequency is being mitigated. Skilled in verifying materials that match engineering drawings using reflectometer probes. Experienced and skilled in fabricating repair parts from RAM, cutting tools, and adhering these parts to aircraft surfaces and fasteners using vacuum bags, fixtures, and other pressure inducing processes. Skilled and experienced in applying scrim (gauzelike) materials to RAM and aircraft surfaces in preparation for RAM cover strip installation. Experiences included installing RAM cover strips to panel and skin gaps; applying RAM pastes to aircraft surface gaps, voids, and gouges; sanding and skiving RAM and RAM pastes to required aircraft contours; and repairing LO treatments on polycarbonate transparencies using edge sealing compounds, adhesives, primers, and conductive films.
