System Safety Engineer - Technical Specialist II
About The Position
This position guides the successful completion of major engineering programs, or conceives research in areas of considerable scope and complexity supporting the development and production of Gulfstream products and services. The role involves selecting appropriate methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria to resolve complex engineering issues. The engineer will be consulted extensively by associates and others as a recognized authority within the field. They will anticipate and resolve complex issues in creative and effective ways, developing standards and guides for diverse engineering activities. The approach to problem-solving balances technical product, cost, and schedule. The role operates without appreciable direction, with work reviewed from a long-range perspective for desired results. The engineer will exercise latitude in determining technical objectives of assignments and make decisions and recommendations that are recognized as authoritative. Additionally, the role requires maintaining current knowledge of developments in the field of specialty and/or other related aircraft fields to recommend innovations to improve quality and effectiveness of the company product.
