Responsibilities:

• • Nonconformance (MRB):

    • Assess, disposition, analyze, justify, determine cause and relay improvements for build discrepancies, errors and other nonconformances

    • Provide guidance on when NC’s are appropriate vs other engineering change options, enforce process standards, and provide streamlined support to quickly address and close.

    • Understand, prioritize, communicate and execute nonconformance against program schedule.

  • Engineering Change:

    • Develop and utilize knowledge of various engineering change options, determine and execute the appropriate change option that creates the shortest path and meets engineering requirements for each unique problem.

    • Document, prioritize, communicate, and track required engineering changes fed back to the spacecraft design organization for resolution.

    • Work closely with manufacturing, quality, planning, and procurement teams to address changes and shepherd them through fruition on the production floor.

    • Contribute to innovative, time saving, and cost-effective improvements to help streamline engineering change and response times.

  • Drawings, Processes and Technical Specifications:

    • Provide guidance to technicians, engineers, and quality assurance engineers related to drawing and spacecraft requirements by overseeing installations; providing training, and information briefs on key topics.

    • Support the development and maintenance of program specific technical specifications, and follow through on execution of these specifications to drive efficiency.

    • Contribute to development and execution of standard repairs, analysis methods, and acceptable defects to streamline defects processing through MRB.

    • Monitor existing processes and nonconformance trends to develop tools and other methods to reduce manufacturing build hours and quality issues, increase production rates, and remove waste from complex processes.

   

  Must-haves:

  • Bachelor’s degree in aerospace, mechanical, industrial or manufacturing engineering

  • Background in the aerospace industry preferred, but not required.

  • 3+ years, 1 years of which were in a manufacturing environment

   

  Preferred:

  • Experience in high reliability electrical systems, such as aviation, motorsports or hazardous environment/intrinsically safe

  • Knowledge of CAD wiring/harness routing and wiring diagrams

  • Experience with amphenol style connectors, specifically pin/depin and mate/demate operations

  • General knowledge of electrical testing and troubleshooting such as circuit tracing, continuity testing, output testing

  • Experience in design and build of primary and secondary composite structures

  • Experience in design and build of metallic structures and fittings

  • Proficient or familiar with hand calculation methods for structural analysis

  • Proficiency preferred in NX CAD, but experience is another CAD package is acceptable

  • Familiar with typical PLM architecture

  • Excel, or similar data analysis software

  • Experience with utilizing, developing, optimizing, interpreting and maintaining process specifications and work instructions

  • Ability to influence without authority, tenacious, and highly energetic

  • Able to adapt to a fast-paced and evolving work environment

  • Confident and competent in communication across departments and at different levels of leadership

  • Experience driving cross-functional changes to address specific technical problems

  • Experience monitoring, tracking, and continually improving design via root cause analysis
