• Investigate OEM and aftermarket engineering data such as engineering drawings, MRO manuals, and field history to understand original design with intent of creating technical data used to return non-conforming hardware back to service.
• Apply mechanical design principles to complete tolerance stack-ups, balance calculations, bearing area analysis, thread shear capability, and other mechanical assessments.
• Establish repair concept, repair design, and validation substantiation requirements for technical dialog or engineering authorizations relating to repairs and alterations.
• Obtain internal technical approvals from Structures, CIPT Design, Materials, or Aero. Additionally, secure FAA regulatory approval and coordinate with the end user.
• Continuously develop or improve design processes and engineering standard work
• Interface with engine center staff, project engineering, and program management to secure priorities and understand programmatic issues.
• Cultivate relationships with shop floor inspectors, powerplant engineers, and production engineers to improve customer experience.

Qualifications You Must Have:​

• Bachelor's Degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and 2+ years prior relevant experience or an Advanced degree.

• Experience in an aerospace overhaul environment such as assembly and disassembly of aircraft powerplants.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously with strong organizational skills. Assertive, results-driven, and adept at problem solving, with excellent judgment and professional maturity.
• Participation in process improvement efforts.
