Advanced Failure Analyst Engineer

Advanced Failure Analyst Engineer (Finance)

As an Advanced Mechanical Design Engineer for Component Investigation, you will [TM1] specialize in conducting investigations on Heat exchangers and other Environmental Control Systems (ECS) related aerospace metallic hardware that no longer perform as expected, and play a critical role in diagnosing and understanding the cause of failures in various aerospace parts. Your expertise will serve as the backbone for addressing complex business challenges connected to component performance and reliability issues.

• Conduct in-depth investigations into the causes of component failures, utilizing advanced engineering principles and methodologies with a team approach.
• Perform laboratory work as needed for the investigation including part sectioning, sample preparation, photography, microscopy, and SEM/EDS evaluation.
• Establish the direct cause of the failed components and proactively collaborate with the engineering team to determine root cause and corrective actions.
• Master the connection between metallurgy and part performance to analyze material behaviors under operational conditions.
• Use knowledge of material and process failure phenomena to conclude the direct cause of component failure.
• Leverage detailed knowledge of product functionality to articulate component failure mechanisms comprehensively.
• Collaboratively engage with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to proactively solve problems and improve engineering processes.
• Adhere to standardized Material Engineering Component Investigation (Mat Eng CI) processes and expectations to ensure consistency and accuracy in investigations.
• Maintain laboratory facility, equipment, and consumables for metallography and component investigation, including capital planning to meet current and future needs
