• General knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes including surface processing treatments (steel alloys, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, etc.) and manufacturing processes (machining, turning, etc.) commonly used in Aerospace and Defense applications. Support subcontractors with product realization efforts.
• Demonstrated understanding of engineering product development lifecycle: from requirements generation/allocation to transition to production; and contributing to program/project engineering tasks for engineering development programs.
• Demonstrated technical writing skills: engineering documentation, Plans, Reports, Memorandums, PowerPoint Presentations, etc.
• Excellent technical communication skills, written and verbal. Ability to digest technical information, process and tailor it, and convert it to actionable information.
• Technical program management: balance of an Engineer’s attention to detail with Program Manager’s vision for the larger goals.
• Good working knowledge of pneumatics, mechanical, and electromechanical systems and structures.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Self-starter that operates as an individual contributor or within a team environment, balancing multiple priorities in a fast-paced technical development environment.

 

 

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

 

• Previous experience supporting DoD acquisition programs and/or aerospace systems development.
• Familiarity with AS9100, MIL-STD-810, or other DoD and Aerospace quality and compliance standards.
• Hands-on experience with R&M, FTA, FMECA, and/or System Safety.
• Working knowledge of FEA, and structural and thermal fatigue analysis.
• Experience with ERP systems, preferably SAP.
• Experience leading, contributing to, and participating in SETR events.
• Working knowledge of electronics and circuits.
