The MRR Engineer supports the Material Review Board process for a Part 27 normal category rotorcraft manufacturer, evaluating nonconforming parts, materials, and assemblies produced under the company's FAA Production Certificate (PC) and Type Certificate (TC). This role determines appropriate disposition — use-as-is, rework, repair, or scrap — for airframe structures, dynamic components, avionics, and mechanical systems, ensuring all decisions preserve continued airworthiness and comply with FAA Part 21 quality system requirements.

The role works closely with Design Engineering, Manufacturing, Production Certificate holders' Quality System, and DERs/ODA Unit Members where engineering disposition authority is required.

• Review nonconformance reports (NCRs) for helicopter structures, dynamic components (rotor systems, drivetrain, controls), and mechanical/electrical systems against Type Design data and engineering drawings.
• Perform engineering evaluation of dimensional, material, and process nonconformances against Part 27 airworthiness standards, including structural margin and fatigue/life-limited part implications.
• Coordinate with Design Engineering and, where required, Designated Engineering Representatives (DERs) or ODA Unit Members for dispositions requiring engineering approval or Type Design data changes.
• Draft and route repair schemes; ensure repairs to critical/life-limited parts (e.g., rotor blades, mast, transmission components) receive appropriate structural substantiation.
• Participate in MRB meetings, documenting rationale and maintaining traceability per the company's FAA-approved Quality System.
• Support root cause and corrective action (RCCA) investigations for recurring nonconformances, particularly on dynamic and flight-critical components.
• Interface with Supplier Quality on nonconformances from vendor-supplied parts (e.g., castings, forgings, composite structures, electrical/avionics components).
• Maintain MRB records and disposition logs to support FAA audits, Production Certificate surveillance, and continued airworthiness recordkeeping.
• Investigate repeat non conformances and suggest design…
