About The Position

The Associate, Mechanical Engineer works within a multifunctional hangar team to develop engineering solutions for aircraft life-cycle sustainment. The role includes designing, modifying, and repairing aircraft structures, mechanical systems, and mission equipment, and supporting the transition from engineering design to manufacturing and installation. The engineer applies structural analysis and repair-design skills to solve problems of varying complexity, manages multiple concurrent tasks, and makes decisive recommendations. The position requires collaboration with aircraft mechanics, manufacturing, program management, customer representatives, and other engineering disciplines, as well as understanding customer needs and communicating engineering rationale effectively.

The engineer works in aircraft hangar and manufacturing environments and may need to access confined aircraft spaces, including fuel tanks, wings, and fuselage, using appropriate safety gear. Flexible work schedules may be required to meet mission needs. The position requires eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.

Requirements

• Be pursuing a bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Aeronautical, or Civil Engineering, or have completed a bachelor's degree within the last 12 months.
• Be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Apply critical thinking and problem-solving to aircraft sustainment challenges.
• Perform static analysis and evaluate Durability and Damage Tolerance using Finite Element Analysis.
• Manage multiple concurrent tasks and priorities decisively.
• Collaborate effectively within multifunctional teams, including mechanics, manufacturing, program management, customer representatives, and other engineering disciplines.
• Communicate engineering rationale clearly to technical and non-technical audiences in writing and verbally.
• Support the transition from engineering design to manufacturing and installation.
• Work in aircraft hangar and manufacturing environments and access confined aircraft spaces with appropriate safety gear.
• Support flexible work schedules as mission requirements dictate.
