The AWT group is comprised of chemists, engineers, physicists and various technical specialists who conduct R&D focused on novel warhead concepts for advanced weapon systems and emerging and disruptive energetic materials technologies. It conducts the majority of the work in a variety of on-site laboratories and facilities but also conducts testing at various ADF test ranges throughout the country.
The mechanical tradesperson/precision machinist will have the following skills;
- Ability to act under limited direction and determine the best manufacturing processes
- Experience with high precision machining e.g. warhead, fuze and vacuum components;
- Experience with NC machine tools with and without Conversational Controllers, e.g. lathes, mills and wire cutters;
- Understanding of, and experience with machine cutting tools;
- Use of casting moulds and associated vacuum systems;
- Ability to understand and produce detailed engineering drawings;
