Mechanical Engineer

Job Description

This role focuses on mechanical design and repair engineering for aerospace components in a Component Repair Station (CRS) environment. The Mechanical Engineer develops and optimizes mechanical designs, creates detailed CAD models and engineering drawings, and supports repair engineering activities across the full lifecycle of mechanical and electromechanical components. The position integrates advanced R&D, digital design and manufacturing (DDM), and reverse engineering to deliver cost‑effective, compliant repair solutions that extend component life and modernize repair processes.

Responsibilities

* Develop and optimize mechanical designs for aerospace components, ensuring compliance with applicable aerospace standards and quality requirements.

* Create detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies, and engineering drawings using Solid Works to support new designs, repairs, and modifications.

* Support repair engineering activities within a Component Repair Station (CRS) environment, including repair development for mechanical and electromechanical components.

* Perform reverse engineering of existing components to enable repair, redesign, or improvement of form, fit, and function.

* Lead and contribute to research and development initiatives to create new repair methods, tooling, fixtures, and prototype components.

* Apply digital design and manufacturing (DDM) workflows to streamline repair processes, reduce turnaround time, and improve manufacturability.

* Conduct comprehensive failure analysis on components to identify root causes, document findings, and recommend corrective and preventive actions.

* Prepare high‑quality engineering documentation, including repair instructions, deviation requests, technical reports, and engineering change documentation.

* Collaborate closely with operations, quality, supply chain, and regulatory teams to ensure compliance with FAA/EASA Part 145 requirements and aerospace quality standards such as AS9100 and ISO 9001.

* Design custom tooling and fixtures to support repair and manufacturing operations, ensuring safe, efficient, and repeatable processes.

* Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and digital design and manufacturing principles to enhance efficiency and reduce cost.

* Support and participate in engineering change management processes to control design updates, repairs, and process changes.

* Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives focused on quality, reliability, cost reduction, and process optimization in the repair and manufacturing environment.

* Coordinate and manage engineering tasks and small projects, applying project management practices to meet schedule, quality, and technical objectives.

Essential Skills

* Proven mechanical engineering experience with strong aerospace component design expertise.

* Hands‑on experience working in a Component Repair Station (CRS) or closely related repair environment.

* Advanced proficiency in Solid Works for 3D modeling, assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings.

* Strong background in mechanical and electromechanical component design and optimization.

* Experience with repair engineering, including development of repair schemes and technical dispositions.

* Proficiency in reverse engineering to recreate or improve existing components and assemblies.

* Practical understanding of manufacturing processes and how they influence design and repair decisions.

* Experience with engineering change management processes and documentation.

* Ability to prepare clear, accurate engineering documentation, including repair instructions, deviation requests, and technical reports.

* Familiarity with aerospace quality standards such as AS9100 and ISO 9001.

* Ability to collaborate effectively with operations, quality, supply chain, and regulatory teams.

* Strong analytical skills to perform failure analysis and recommend corrective actions.

* Solid project management capabilities to plan, prioritize, and execute engineering tasks.
