Associate Material Review Engineer

Position Responsibilities

Material Review Engineers represent the entirety of Engineering, as members of the Material Review Board (MRB), in an Aerospace production or preproduction environment. Requires the capabilities to formulate, analyze, substantiate and document dispositions for production nonconformances within the boundaries of Federal Aviation Regulations and OEM delegated requirements. Utilize independent, single signature authority for dispositioning nonconformances on aircraft structural components, systems, functional tests, and wiring/electrical installations under rapid paced production schedules. This decision/disposition process is based upon knowledge of the design and manufacture of machined / sheet metal parts, weldments, non-metals, advanced composites, and/or large-scale assemblies and systems integration.

This decision/disposition process is based upon knowledge of the design and manufacture of machined / sheet metal parts, weldments, non-metals, advanced composites, and/or large-scale assemblies and systems integration.
