What YOU will do:

• Lead and oversee the analysis of engineering and aircraft performance datasets, delivering actionable insights to improve product performance and reliability.
• Drive the development, training, and validation of machine learning (ML) models, with applications including predictive maintenance, service time estimation, and performance forecasting.
• Define and standardize validation approaches, acceptance criteria, and performance metrics for analytical and ML models across multiple programs.
• Guide and mentor junior engineers on data analytics and machine learning methodologies, fostering skill development and technical growth within the team.
• Serve as the primary technical liaison with engineering discipline owners, design teams, and external stakeholders to address critical engineering challenges and opportunities.
• Develop and implement best practices for data curation, cleaning, integration, and preparation for analytics and ML workflows.
• Oversee the analysis of strain gauge, structural, thermal, and flight/aircraft data, identifying trends, predictive indicators, and opportunities for system optimization.
• Lead collaborative efforts with design, reliability, service engineering, and customer support teams to provide data-driven recommendations that enhance product performance and address customer needs.
• Conduct advanced statistical analyses to assess quality, completeness, and integrity of engineering and enterprise data.
• Research, evaluate, and implement cutting-edge ML algorithms (e.g., supervised learning, unsupervised learning, clustering, anomaly detection) to solve engineering challenges and improve performance.
• Represent the organization in executive-level presentations, communicating technical recommendations and insights to leadership and customers.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, presentations, and reports for technical and non-technical audiences.
• Advocate for and lead efforts in digital transformation, including leveraging digital thread, PLM systems, and model-based engineering workflows.
• Occasionally travel domestically and/or internationally to support project requirements, supplier engagements, or customer needs.

What YOU will learn:

• You will learn about our growing engineering team in Puerto Rico; What we do? Who we support? How we work?
• You will learn the technologies of today and tomorrow which we count on to maintain world leadership in the aerospace industry.
• You will learn why people enjoy and feel fulfilled by working in our industry.
