About The Position

Oversee engineering and sourcing requirements. The Electromechanical Engineer develops, reverse engineers, evaluates, tests, and technically substantiates aviation replacement parts. The role requires a strong understanding of mechanical and electromechanical aircraft components and involves managing engineering activities for assigned FAA PMA projects. The position reviews technical documentation, gathers dimensional data using standard measurement tools when needed, creates 3D CAD models and dimensional reports, and prepares manufacturing drawings for aftermarket parts. It manages multiple reverse-engineering projects and develops reports and data packages for FAA certification submissions. The engineer also checks drawing accuracy and completeness and evaluates a range of mechanical and electromechanical assemblies and components. The role requires communication, technical reading and writing, mathematical reasoning, attention to detail, Microsoft Office skills, familiarity with ASME Y14.5 standards and aerospace manufacturing processes, and SolidWorks 3D CAD experience. A bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering discipline and at least five years of related experience and training, or an equivalent combination, is required. Travel may be up to 15%.
