  • Reverse engineer and troubleshoot electrical and mechanical aircraft components.
  • Use automatic and manual measuring techniques to capture and document dimensional data.
  • Establish measurement tolerances using accepted industry practices and review of next higher assembly fit.
  • Create, revise, and review designs using CAD software, materials science considerations, metrology plans, and related engineering inputs.
  • Prepare documentation required for regulatory certification, including transmittal letters, certification plans, test plans, and substantiation reports.
  • Research technical requirements and collaborate with subject matter experts to evaluate, select, and adapt procedures for design changes and problem resolution.
  • Review aircraft instructions and other aviation technical information for continued airworthiness to define and adapt project requirements.
  • Support supply chain development of manufacturing methods and processes, including vendor identification and selection, purchasing requirements, and drawing interpretation.
  • Provide engineering support for quality-related questions involving drawing interpretation, manufacturing inspection methods, and customer feedback.
  • Coordinate First Article and project conformity inspection activities across Supply Chain, Quality, Engineering, FAA representatives, and management.
  • Participate in root cause corrective action and preventive action initiatives.
  • Prepare technical packages according to customer or operator requirements.

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in a technical discipline.
  • 3+ years of experience supporting the realization of engineered products, including drawing creation, supplier selection, and quality activities related to product conformity.
  • Strong organizational skills with meticulous attention to detail.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while applying strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong technical capability, including technical writing, CAD programming, GD&T, and ASME Y14.5 drawing methodologies.
  • Working knowledge of quality inspection methods, including automatic and manual measuring equipment.
  • Knowledge of basic manufacturing methods such as milling, turning, grinding, and brazing.
  • Ability to understand FAA certification requirements and other civil aviation authority requirements.
  • Reverse engineering product development experience.
