DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
  • Review discrepancies between technical data and part condition, ensuring compliance and accuracy.
  • Track, analyze, and report on non-conformances, using data to identify trends and areas for improvement.
  • Lead root cause analysis to address process-related issues, developing and recommending corrective actions.
  • Implement corrective actions and continuously monitor the impact to ensure long-term effectiveness.
  • Create and update work instructions, including part routings and operation sheets, to reflect process improvements.
  • Effectively communicate corrective action plans, progress, and results to stakeholders at all levels within the organization.
  • Research and implement innovative technologies and processes to enhance company capabilities and drive innovation.
  • Serve as a liaison with vendors, suppliers, and customers to support continuous improvement efforts.
  • Analyze end-to-end component repair workflows (receiving, teardown, inspection, repair, assembly, test, and release)
  • Identify bottlenecks in shop processes such as teardown, piece-part repair, and test stand utilization.
  • Improve test stand utilization (automation), capacity planning, and scheduling efficiency.
  • Perform root cause analysis (RCA) on failures, repeat discrepancies, and no-fault-found (NFF) events.
  • Develop and maintain process maps, routing structures, and standard work instructions.
  • Collaborate with engineering, quality, and technicians.
  • Support implementation and optimization of MRO systems (e.g., ERP, MES, TRAX, AMOS, SAP)
  • Ensure all improvements comply with FAA/EASA regulations and OEM manuals (CMMs)
  • Track KPIs such as TAT, first-pass yield (FPY), test yield, and labor efficiency.
  • Support the culture of continuous improvement by mentoring and coaching teams on Lean principles and methodologies.
  • Other duties as assigned.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering or related field
    • OR 3 years of related experience in lieu of degree.
  • 5 years of experience in process engineering, manufacturing, or a related field.
  • Strong understanding of accessory repair operations (mechanical, hydraulic, electrical components)
  • Ability to interpret technical drawings and data.
  • Experience with process mapping, workflow optimization, and data analysis.
  • Familiarity with FAA/EASA Part 145 regulations and component maintenance practices.
  • Effective communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to engage at all levels of the organization.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Power Bi, or similar tools.

PREFERRED REQUIREMENTS:
  • Hands-on experience in a related OEM or MRO Manufacturing/Process Engineering discipline.
  • Experience with specific accessory types (fuel systems, air, etc.)
  • Knowledge of test equipment, calibration processes, and diagnostic systems
  • Familiarity with OEM Component Maintenance Manuals (CMMs)
  • Experience with reliability analysis and failure modes.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to drive continuous improvement initiatives.

OTHER:
  • The selected applicant will be subject to a background check and drug testing.
