Make an Impact In this engineering-focused role, you'll drive metrology process improvements and instrumentation readiness within production and test operations at an FAA Part 145 Repair Station. This is not a technician position. Instead, you'll serve as a key engineering resource responsible for strengthening measurement systems, improving calibration workflows, reducing metrology-driven downtime, and ensuring critical test equipment is available when needed.

Your work will directly support operational efficiency, product quality, regulatory compliance, and the reliability of aviation repair and overhaul activities.

What You'll DoLead Metrology Process Improvements Review, update, and standardize metrology procedures across dimensional, torque, electrical, pressure, flow, and temperature measurement systems.

Develop controlled workflows for calibration, repair, replacement, and escalation processes.

Establish best practices that improve instrumentation readiness and measurement reliability.

Drive Equipment Reliability and Readiness Analyze failure modes across mechanical, electrical, and thermal measurement systems.

Implement process controls that minimize unplanned test rig and production downtime.

Conduct lifecycle assessments and recommend equipment replacements, upgrades, and backup strategies.

Improve Performance Through Data and Metrics Develop and monitor key metrics related to calibration workloads, overdue gages, equipment health, and lifecycle conditions.

Identify trends and opportunities for continuous improvement.

Support organizational efforts to improve measurement system effectiveness and operational performance.

Collaborate Across Functions Partner with Metrology, Repair Engineering, and Operations teams to resolve systemic instrumentation and readiness issues.

Serve as the technical focal point for SOOT dispositions.

Coordinate cross-functional efforts to drive sustainable process improvements and equipment availability.

Required Qualifications Associate's, Bachelor's, or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

Demonstrated proficiency with multi-discipline metrology equipment, including:
