The HUNCH CNC Machining Mentor is responsible for supporting the High School Students United with NASA to Create Hardware (HUNCH) program and its objectives. The NASA HUNCH program provides an innovative, strategic, education partnership pairing NASA’s unique capabilities and experience with the ingenuity of high school and intermediate students in creating authentic hardware and softgoods for NASA to use in support of missions and research. The HUNCH CNC Machining Mentor will direct the HUNCH CNC Machining in support of high school students and teachers at partner schools in the successful fabrication and processing of aerospace products for NASA.
Description:
The HUNCH CNC Machining Mentor position will provide CNC machining expertise and oversight to technical teams performing flight hardware development and manufacturing activities supporting the International Space Station Program. It should be stated that hardware production is not performed at all HUNCH schools and those participating schools are made up of students and teachers with varying levels of expertise. Some will be prepared to produce certified flight hardware immediately and on an on-going basis, while others may be just beginning in the program and require training to reach the desired level of expertise.
This position will develop the manufacturing plan for multiple hardware manufacturing projects through the full development life cycle. Typical job functions will include review of drawings and requirements for Flight and Non-flight hardware, preparation of the manufacturing plan, and the equipment to be utilized, programming, set-up, tooling, machining, de-burring and cleaning of the hardware produced. Because HUNCH aims to produce students with an in-depth exposure to all aspects of a project, students should be exposed to these manufacturing tasks where possible.
