  • Provide real-time engineering support to production and MRO teams during structural assembly, fabrication, and modification.
  • Review and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and work instructions for structural components.
  • Ensure manufacturability and support root cause investigations for production issues (e.g., fit, form, corrosion, damage, or rework).
  • Support tooling design, jigs/fixtures validation, and installation sequencing as required.
  • Participate in or lead conformity inspections, audits, and certification documentation processes.
  • Collaborate with DERs, DARs, and airworthiness representatives when required.
  • Interface daily with technicians, inspectors, planners, and quality engineers on the production floor.
