Essential Functions & Key Responsibilities

• Develops solutions to a variety of complex or unusual engineering or technical problems or assignments requiring independent judgment and ingenuity to work within engineering protocols in the analysis, design and/or repair development of aircraft structures, power plant component parts, mechanical and electrical systems/structures and subsystems for commercial, military, executive, general aviation, or special purpose applications on operational aircraft.
• Analyzes and interprets engineering proposals and documentation such as drawings, material and product specifications, structural repair manuals (SRMs), component maintenance manuals (CMMs) and illustrated parts lists (IPLs/IPCs) to develop design and/or repair schemes approaches. Analyzes research data to determine feasibility of product proposal. Confers with management to clarify or resolve problems.
• Designs and develops and/or repairs of structural, power plant and other operational and structural components that are used in operating aircraft; this includes producing or assisting in the production of computer aided drawings and engineering reports.
• Develops design and/or repair data packages and obtains FAA approvals through internal and external FAA Designated Engineering Representatives (DERs); troubleshoot failure modes, communicate and interact with customer engineering groups and/or internal personnel for design, development and/or cost effective repair schemes and approvals.
• Designs and develops analytical programs concerned with ground or flight testing, or development of acoustic, thermodynamic, or propulsion systems; conducts analytical studies on engineering proposals to develop design for products.
• Tests models, prototypes, subassemblies, or production items to study and evaluate operational characteristics and effects of stress imposed during actual or simulated operational conditions.
