Job Listing Description

Primary Responsibilities Include:

Nonconformance (MRB):

• 
  

  Review, assess, disposition, analyze, justify, determine cause and relay improvements for build discrepancies, errors and other non-conformance's

  
  
• 
  

  Provide guidance on when NC’s are appropriate vs other engineering change options, enforce process standards, and provide streamlined support to quickly address and close.

  
  
• 
  

  Oversee, understand, prioritize, communicate and execute non-conformance's against program schedule.

  
  

Engineering Change:

• 
  

  Develop and utilize knowledge of various engineering change options, determine and execute the appropriate change option that creates the shortest path and meets engineering requirements for each unique problem.

  
  
• 
  

  Document, prioritize, communicate, and track required engineering changes fed back to the spacecraft design organization for resolution.

  
  
• 
  

  Work closely with manufacturing, quality, planning, and procurement teams to address changes and shepherd them through fruition on the production floor.

  
  
• 
  

  Contribute to innovative, time saving, and cost-effective improvements to help streamline engineering change and response times.

  
  

Drawings, Processes and Technical Specifications:

• 
  

  Provide guidance to the liaison team, technicians, engineers, and quality assurance engineers related to drawing and spacecraft requirements by overseeing installations; providing training, and information briefs on key topics.

  
  
• 
  

  Support the development and maintenance of program specific technical specifications, and follow through on execution of these specifications to drive efficiency.

  
  
• 
  

  Contribute to development and execution of standard repairs, analysis methods, and acceptable defects to streamline defects processing through MRB.

  
  
• 
  

  Monitor existing processes and non-conformance trends to develop tools and other methods to reduce manufacturing build hours and quality issues, increase production rates, and remove waste from complex processes.
