Job Description:

We are pioneers. We were the first to break the sound barrier and to design the first functional jetpack. We were aboard NASA’s first lunar mission and brought advanced tiltrotor systems to market. Today, we are defining the future of on-demand mobility. At Bell, we are proud to work for an iconic company with superb talent, rapidly creating novel and coveted vertical lift experiences.

Job Responsibilities:
  • Performs any phase of inspection necessary to check dimensional characteristics of gear teeth and their components.

  • Sets up, lays out and inspects a variety of machined gears and splines by performing both functional and analytical type checks to deter mine allowable deviations in dimensions making decisions as to whether or not they are within acceptable limits using a wide variety of precision measuring devices such as inspection machines, equipment, instruments, gages, etc.

  • Makes inspections on first run gears and other gear type parts and determines whether or not they are acceptable for production runs.

  • Makes necessary machine setups to accomplish all types of gear inspection involving numerous inspection tolerance dimensions, coordinated dimensions, irregular surfaces requiring coordination in several planes where accumulation of tolerances are critical factors.

  • Performs layout operations on graph paper where readings are recorded to determine if proper involute, runout, tooth spacing, etc. are within specified tolerances.

  • Makes hairline decisions where dimensions are not shown on blueprints or are not a matter of shop practice.

  • Inspects all types of gears and other gear type parts such as, but not limited to, curvic tooth splines, spherical splines, involute splines, spur gears and spiral bevel gears.

  • Sets and calibrates inspection equipment as required to meet test specifications and settings.

  • Records serial numbers, part numbers, stock removal and other information necessary for future reference.

  • Aids, guides and instructs lower grade inspectors in all phases of gear inspection work and performs the more complicated duties involving hairline decisions.

  • Performs receiving inspections as required.

Job Requirements:

Tools & Equipment Used:

  • Precision measuring instruments such as involute machines, red liners, optical comparators, Rockwell machines, profilometer, dividing heads, etc.

  • Also uses calipers, height gages, micrometers, measuring wires, indicators, gauge blocks, layout instruments, inspection stamps and a variety of other precision measuring instruments.

Experience & Other Requirements:
  • Five years gear inspection experience.
