Mechanical Inspector
CurrentMartin-Baker are the world leader in the design and manufacture of aircraft ejector seats. As you can imagine, right-first-time operation is a critical requirement of our product. In the role of inspector, I carry out numerous visual and mechanical checks on various in-house manufactured sub-assemblies to ensure correct operation in service. The range of equipment used spans from hand held gauges to specialist-manufactured machinery that subject each test piece to a range of forces under simulated conditions of altitude. Computer-logging of results follows the completion of each successful test.
