Senior Liaison Engineer, Sustaining (R6024)

We're hiring a Senior or Staff Liaison Engineer to be the engineering point of contact for hardware issues affecting V-BAT production, testing and fielded aircraft. This person holds engineering authority for nonconformance (NCR) and Material Review Board (MRB) dispositions, which covers anything that isn't simply reworked to print, including use-as-is and repair. They pull in Structures, Thermal and Design when they need specialist input to confirm a path forward. 

The ideal candidate is the person Production and Quality go to when they ask, "I have this problem, how do I solve it?" They own the answer from start to finish: the disposition, the rework or repair instructions, the drawing updates, and the long-term corrective action that keeps the problem from coming back. Composite repair experience is essential. This role is focused on liaison and sustaining engineering, not new-product design. 

Experience as a liaison or MRB engineer on aircraft or UAS production.

Experience classifying structural versus non-structural repairs, or writing standard repair procedures or structural repair manuals.

Working knowledge of composite materials, processes and inspection methods, such as prepreg, wet layup, bonding, cure cycles, tap testing and ultrasonic testing.

Familiarity with workmanship standards for wire harnesses and electronic assemblies, such as IPC/WHMA-A-620 and IPC-A-610.

Familiarity with metallic and plastic manufacturing processes, finishes and common defect modes.

Ability to assess structural margin, or experience working closely with stress and thermal analysts.

Experience in an AS9100 quality environment.

Experience with Siemens NX and Teamcenter.

Experience supporting fielded aircraft and customer operations.
