About The Position
The Sustainment Engineer Specialist provides technical expertise in evaluating, analyzing, and resolving nonconforming conditions on aircraft systems and components in production, maintenance, and repair environments. The role applies electrical engineering principles to assess discrepant hardware, develop corrective actions, and generate clear, traceable MRB engineering dispositions in compliance with program, regulatory, and airworthiness requirements. The position collaborates with cross-functional teams to resolve production issues and maintain workflow efficiency, supports root cause analysis and corrective actions, and provides technical guidance to junior engineers. MRB activities must comply with engineering standards, airworthiness requirements, and applicable certification frameworks, with documentation maintained to quality and regulatory requirements. The role is onsite in Greenville, Texas, and follows a 9/80 schedule: 80 work hours over 9 out of every 14 days, with every other Friday off. Off-shift or overtime work may be required to meet program schedules and aircraft delivery commitments. The employee must be able 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 work in aircraft hangars, flight lines, and manufacturing facilities, including boarding and exiting aircraft and maneuvering in restricted spaces using appropriate safety gear.
- Ability to support off-shift or overtime work as required.
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 and ability to clearly and concisely document engineering dispositions.
- 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 in 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 skills.
- Review and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, models, tolerances, and technical documentation to support MRB decisions.
- Generate clear, concise, technically sound 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 related to nonconformances and recurring production problems.
- Communicate effectively with engineering and production teams through written and verbal communication.
- 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.
- Navigate aircraft hangars, flight lines, and manufacturing facilities; board and exit aircraft and maneuver in restricted areas, including wings, fuselage compartments, and fuel tanks, using appropriate safety gear.
- Ensure MRB activities comply with engineering standards, airworthiness requirements, and applicable certification frameworks.
