About The Position

The Engineering, Science and Analysis (ESA) Strategic Capabilities Unit comprises the technical talent and organizational leadership that enables the successful delivery of high-impact discriminating technologies for our customers’ missions. Our collaborative, cross-functional teams are committed to innovation, integrity, continual learning and strong execution. This position involves joining a multi-disciplinary team to meet cost, schedule, and technical requirements for assigned projects within Paint work centers. The role includes developing, implementing, and commissioning materials and process (M&P) plans for tactical hardware, assisting with efforts to qualify new materials and processes in paint lab, printed circuit lab, tetra etch, and metal finishing. The individual will be mentored by experienced Materials and Process (M&P) Subject Matter Experts (SME). Responsibilities include reviewing engineering drawings, providing feedback on materials selection, producibility, and process specifications, and participating in teams to develop and investigate new paint tools, equipment, and manufacturing techniques. This may involve applying advanced technologies, scientific principles, theories, and concepts. The role also entails troubleshooting hardware anomaly root causes and corrective actions, establishing and refining the paint and coatings engineering strategy, and collaborating with Manufacturing and Materials Engineers to develop new strategies and processes. Designing, researching, and developing new applications for business opportunities may also be part of the role. The position requires coordinating and conducting tests for coating validation, providing documentation, and implementing corrective actions. Research projects may be designed, developed, and executed. Maintaining compliance with safety, AS9100, and audit requirements is essential. Collaboration with Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering to develop best practices for paint and etch tooling, performing failure analysis on paint-related hardware anomalies, and developing Standard Operating Procedures are also key duties. Applying manufacturing engineering techniques and maintaining good customer relations are expected. The role involves uncovering and resolving issues associated with operational programs in Paint, participating in and leading process validations, and engaging in group discussions and meetings. Maintaining a regular work schedule and effective working relationships within the department and company is required. Performing other duties as necessary is also part of the role.
