About The Position

Oversee all engineering and sourcing requirements. The Electromechanical Engineer develops, reverse engineers, evaluates, tests, and technically substantiates aviation replacement parts, with a strong understanding of mechanical and electromechanical aircraft components. The role manages engineering activities for assigned FAA PMA projects and multiple reverse-engineering projects simultaneously. The position reviews specifications, maintenance and component manuals, service bulletins, and other technical data. It may require use of standard measurement tools to gather dimensional data. The engineer creates 3D CAD models, dimensional data reports, manufacturing drawings, and FAA certification reports and data packages. The role also checks engineering drawings for accuracy and completeness and evaluates mechanical and electromechanical assemblies and related components. The role requires a bachelor's degree in a related engineering discipline and a minimum of five years of related experience and training, or an equivalent combination of education and experience. The employee may travel up to 15% and works in moderate noise levels.
