Mechanical Engineering and Machine Learning. In this role, you will analyze aircraft services and engineering datasets, uncover performance insights, and develop predictive models that support forecasting, field performance and reliability initiatives.
A solid understanding of
mechanical engineering fundamentals will help you interpret technical data and collaborate effectively with subject matter experts. This
analytics-focused role works closely with engineering discipline owners, offering opportunities for professional growth and meaningful contributions to data driven reliability improvements.
This position will sit at our
Aguadilla, PR location. You must be residing in Puerto Rico at the time of starting employment. Relocation is not offered.
This role is categorized as
hybrid, with 3 days onsite and 2 days remote following the schedule assigned by the Manager.
What YOU will do:
- Analyze engineering and aircraft performance datasets to generate actionable insights for product performance and reliability.
- Perform data curation, cleaning, integration, and preparation for analytics, modeling, and machine learning workflows.
- Work with strain gauge, structural, thermal, and flight/aircraft data to extract features, identify trends, and detect anomalies or predictive indicators.
- Develop, train, and validate machine learning (ML) models (e.g., supervised learning, unsupervised learning, clustering, anomaly detection) for applications such as predictive maintenance, service interval estimation, and performance forecasting.
- Define validation methods, acceptance criteria, and performance metrics for analytical and predictive models.
- Generate data-driven insights and recommendations for design, reliability, service engineering, and customer support teams.
- Conduct statistical analyses to evaluate the quality and completeness of engineering or enterprise data.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to support investigations and continuous improvement initiatives using enterprise data resources.
- Prepare technical documentation, presentations, and reports for both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Occasionally travel domestically and/or internationally to support project requirements.
What YOU will learn:
