• Lead major reviews:
  • Critical Design Review (CDR) Review Item Discrepancy (RID).
  • Functional Configuration Audit/Physical Configuration Audit (FCA/PCA).
  • Acceptance Reviews for each deliverable.
• Continuous requirements evaluation and validation (Fracture Control NASA Std 5019, Flow‑Induced Vibration SLS‐RQMT‑166).
• Ongoing evaluation and negotiation of shared engineering responsibilities with Boeing for SLS.
• Driving requirements fulfillment throughout development and production.
• Driving resolution of Review Item Discrepancies (RIDs) generated during reviews.
• Ensuring that test procedures meet validation requirements (Structural Design and Test Factors for Safety for Space Hardware NASA STD 5001).
• Review of test data to ensure compliance.
• Anomaly resolution and Root Cause/Corrective Action closeout.
• Subcontract Data Requirements List (SDRL) Deliverables – Development, Submittal, Tracking and comment resolution.
• Facilitate resolution of production NDE issues.
• Coordinate pour foam process development with Boeing (Foam STM
  0878‑01, Primer STM
  0907‑01, Adhesive STM
  0882‑01).
• Facilitate development of inspection criteria and techniques (ASTM D4541, ASTM D1621).
• Monitor development of required AP facility for primer and pour foam application.
• Support hardware production, issue resolution and monitoring of in‑process testing.
• Lead major projects, providing required engineering analyses and calculations; guide and coordinate work of lower grade engineers, designers and technicians engaged in design, fabrication, test and evaluation of parts, components and systems.
• Act as project coordinator with customer service, manufacturing engineering, production control, purchasing, manufacturing and quality assurance teams during production of first‑article hardware and qualification of items.
• Plan assigned projects and interpret technical data to meet contractual requirements; review customer designs, prepare work schedules and ensure availability of necessary items and personnel.
• Evaluate test and engineering data and implement required design or data changes; recommend program modifications, additions or deletions.
• Control and monitor assigned projects; provide engineering support to planning, tool design, quality assurance, engineering laboratories and manufacturing; perform troubleshooting and maintain liaison with other departments.
• Conduct all required customer liaison during planning and performance of projects; attend customer negotiations to furnish technical data; may direct customer or prospective customer contact regarding proposals and activities as needed. Must be willing and able to travel within the US and to other countries as needed.
• Contact and visit vendors and subcontractors as required; initiate and provide them with all necessary technical documentation.
• Investigate and recommend new equipment, tooling or materials to produce or test products; prepare correspondence related to projects; refer patent matters; support the Material Review Board; review discrepancies with Quality Assurance; maintain awareness of latest developments and report accordingly.
• Additional duties may be assigned.

• BS degree in a related technical field (engineering/physics) from an accredited program; MS in the same field strongly preferred.
• Minimum of 7–10 years experience in an aerospace environment.

• Firm understanding of aerospace engineering fundamentals.
• Working knowledge of fundamental stress analysis methodologies and material properties of metals; fundamental understanding of metal forming and fabrication processes.
• Experience with high‑pressure pneumatic (metal) duct systems and cryogenic duct systems strongly preferred.
• Problem‑solving, independent decision making and good time‑management skills.
• Customer service oriented internally and externally.
• Strong leadership ability.
• Cooperative team player.
• Superior organizational skills and…
