You’ll apply deep technical expertise, independent judgment, and innovative thinking to solve critical problems and develop new approaches that improve aircraft products, processes, cost, and schedule.

Your expertise will help shape engineering standards, guide multidisciplinary teams, and advance technologies that support the future of aerospace.

• Take responsibility for complete engineering projects of significant complexity within established program scope.

• Make authoritative technical decisions and recommendations that influence broad engineering activities.

• Apply advanced engineering principles, theories, and concepts using extensive technical expertise.

• Lead the development of innovative engineering principles, ideas, standards, and guidelines.

• Independently identify improved methods and processes to optimize technical performance, cost, schedule, and quality.

• Plan and lead investigations into complex technical areas where established engineering precedents may not exist.

• Generate and communicate technical requirements to external suppliers and multidisciplinary engineering teams, including Powerplant, Environmental Control, Structures, Electrical, and Mechanical.

• Use Smar Team and CATIA to review proposed designs and engineering workflows.

• Develop and support EAR-approved test plans and reports.

• Provide manufacturing liaison support, including Material Review Board (MRB) integration.

• Lead and implement continuous improvement initiatives related to Materials and Processes.

• Work collaboratively with engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, and other stakeholders to resolve critical technical challenges.

• Perform other duties as assigned.

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related applicable technical discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

• 5 - 13+ years of experience in a specific technical discipline or 10-15+ years of broad engineering experience across multiple technical disciplines.

• Extensive experience solving complex engineering problems requiring innovative and advanced technical solutions.

• Demonstrated ability to work independently and make authoritative technical decisions.

• Strong understanding of Materials and Processes Engineering and continuous improvement principles.

• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.

• Ability to balance technical requirements with product performance, cost, schedule, and quality.

• Ability to work full-time onsite.

• Advanced degree in engineering or a related technical discipline.

• Aerospace or aircraft manufacturing experience.

• Materials and Processes Engineering experience developing and communicating technical requirements to external suppliers and multidisciplinary engineering teams.

• Experience with Smar Team and CATIA.

• Experience producing EAR-approved test plans and results reports.

• Demonstrated success with manufacturing liaison and MRB integration.

• Experience implementing continuous improvement projects within an M&P environment.

• Experience developing engineering standards and guides for diverse technical activities.
