About The Position

The Sustainment Engineer Specialist provides electrical engineering expertise to evaluate, analyze, and resolve nonconforming conditions involving aircraft systems and components in production, maintenance, and repair environments. The role assesses discrepant hardware, develops corrective actions, and prepares clear, traceable Material Review Board (MRB) engineering dispositions that meet program, regulatory, and airworthiness requirements.

The position works with engineering and production teams to resolve issues, maintain workflow, and support aircraft delivery commitments. It may involve off-shift or overtime work as needed. The employee works in aircraft hangars, flight lines, and manufacturing facilities, and must be able to board and exit aircraft and maneuver through restricted areas, including wings, fuselage compartments, and fuel tanks, using appropriate safety gear. The role requires the ability to obtain and maintain a DoW Secret Clearance.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree and four years of technical engineering experience in an aircraft depot repair, aircraft maintenance, or aerospace component manufacturing environment; or a graduate degree and two years of such experience; or, in lieu of a degree, at least eight years of such experience.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DoW Secret Clearance.
• Ability to board and exit aircraft and maneuver in restricted areas such as wings, fuselage compartments, and fuel tanks using appropriate safety gear.
• Support off-shift or overtime work as required to meet program schedules and aircraft delivery commitments.

Nice To Haves

• Active Top Secret or Secret Clearance.
• Direct experience performing MRB engineering activities, including nonconformance evaluation, repair development, and formal disposition generation.
• Practical experience leading engineering tasks or small projects in a fast-paced production or maintenance environment.
• Understanding of aircraft certification processes, including Military Commercial Derivative Aircraft certification, FAA Supplemental Type Certification (STC), and Military Airworthiness Certification.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document engineering dispositions clearly and concisely.
• Familiarity with stress analysis fundamentals and their application to MRB dispositions.
• Proficient knowledge of engineering fundamentals, manufacturing processes, material properties, and engineering documentation practices.
• Ability to interpret and work from engineering drawings, specifications, tolerances, and technical data packages.
• Experience evaluating nonconformances and performing root cause analysis within a production or maintenance environment.
• Ability to coordinate with cross-functional teams including Quality, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Program Managers, and Design Engineering.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate nonconforming conditions and determine appropriate engineering dispositions using critical thinking and engineering problem-solving.
• Review and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, models, tolerances, and technical documentation to support MRB decisions.
• Generate clear, concise MRB dispositions, including rework instructions, repair solutions, and technical justifications.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing, Quality, Design Engineering, and Supply Chain to resolve production issues and maintain workflow efficiency.
• Conduct or support root cause analysis and corrective-action initiatives for nonconformances and recurring production problems.
• Communicate effectively across engineering and production teams, both verbally and in writing.
• Provide guidance, mentoring, and technical leadership to junior engineers.
• Support off-shift or overtime work as required to meet program schedules and aircraft delivery commitments.
• Work in aircraft hangars, flight lines, and manufacturing facilities; board and exit aircraft and maneuver in restricted areas using appropriate safety gear.
• Ensure MRB activities comply with engineering standards, airworthiness requirements, and applicable certification frameworks.
• Maintain accurate documentation, traceability, and records of MRB actions in accordance with quality and regulatory requirements.
• Perform other duties as assigned by the Supervisor.
