• Ensure engineering data meets 14 CFR, FAA guidance, airworthiness, and safety requirements for Part 145 repairs.

• Understand Design for manufacture and apply GD&T per ASME Y14.5 to all critical features and interfaces.

• Understand metrology and be familiar with the approaches to gathering part definition data and variance.

• Be able to use the advanced features of SolidWorks to adequately define models and drawings.

Research, Experimentation & Technical Development

• Design and execute R&D experiments to validate new repair methods, materials, tooling, and processes.

• Build and test prototype parts, assemblies, and fixtures; analyze results and iterate designs.

• Develop and validate process parameters (thermal, mechanical, material, electrical as applicable).

• Translate experimental outcomes into repeatable, production-ready engineering solutions.

• Understand Manufacturing processes and tooling design/development.

Develop Test Plans for Certification

• Maintain audit-ready documentation and traceability throughout the program lifecycle.

• Serve as the technical focal point between FAA, suppliers, and internal stakeholders.

• Produce engineering drawings, models, and data packages using SolidWorks.

• Define specifications, acceptance criteria, and standards for repair processes and tooling.

• Support or author engineering substantiation, including test reports, analysis, and compliance narratives.

FAA Part 145 Integration & Production Enablement

• Convert approved DER data into shop-floor-ready work instructions, inspection criteria, and training materials.

• Support production during initial implementation and ramp-up of new repair products.

• Troubleshoot technical issues in manufacturing and drive corrective engineering actions.

• Ensure new designs are robust, repeatable, auditable, and cost-effective, and scalable.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, materials, aerospace, or electrical engineering (ABET-accredited).

• 2+ years of hands-on engineering experience in a regulated industry (Aerospace, Medical, etc.), preferably in Part 145 or Part 21 environments.

• Demonstrated direct experience with R&D and certification-driven engineering projects.

• Strong proficiency in SolidWorks and engineering documentation.

• Proven ability to design experiments, analyze results, and defend technical conclusions.

• Comfortable working in manufacturing, lab, and shop environments.

• Strong understanding of metrology and reverse engineering.

• Strong Technical Writing skills.

• Tooling Design.

• Experience dealing directly with vendors/suppliers to procure and initiate testing/engineered components/tools.
