- Partner with Manufacturing, Quality, Design Engineering, and Supply Chain leadership to resolve cross-functional blockers and align on priorities
- Drive root cause and corrective action (RCCA) programs across the team to reduce recurring nonconformances and production escapes
- Build and continuously improve MRB processes, tools, and standard work for mechanical hardware as production rates increase
- Report on team throughput, nonconformance trends, and open risk to engineering and program leadership
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers on MRB discipline, mechanical fundamentals, and cross-functional coordination
- Travel to vendor, production, and test sites as needed to support hardware builds and troubleshoot issues directly
Qualifications
- B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent experience
- 10+ years of mechanical engineering experience, including direct experience evaluating nonconformances and dispositioning hardware in a production, depot, or maintenance environment
