Job Listing Description

Primary Responsibilities:

• Nonconformance (MRB):

  • Assess, disposition, analyze, justify, determine cause and relay improvements for build discrepancies, errors and other nonconformances

  • 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.

  • Understand, prioritize, communicate and execute nonconformance 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 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 nonconformance trends to develop tools and other methods to reduce manufacturing build hours and quality issues, increase production rates, and remove waste from complex processes.

Must-haves:

• Bachelor’s degree in aerospace, mechanical, industrial or manufacturing engineering

• Background in the aerospace industry preferred, but not required.

• 3+ years, 1 years of which were in a manufacturing environment

• Position may require extended work hours, part time second shift and/or weekend work

Preferred:

• Experience in design and build of primary and secondary composite structures

• Experience in design and build of metallic structures and fittings

• Proficient or familiar with hand calculation methods for structural analysis

• Proficiency preferred in NX CAD, but experience is another CAD package is acceptable

• Familiar with typical PLM architecture

• Excel, or similar data analysis software

• Experience with utilizing, developing, optimizing, interpreting and maintaining process specifications and work instructions

• Ability to influence without authority, tenacious, and highly energetic

• Able to adapt to a fast-paced and evolving work environment

• Confident and competent in communication across departments and at different levels of leadership

• Experience driving cross-functional changes to address specific technical problems

• Experience monitoring, tracking, and continually improving design via root cause analysis
