Develops and recommends solutions to engineering requirements for complex or specialized projects or systems, including program scope, cost and schedule constraints. Applies engineering principles commonly practiced within aerospace MRO (Maintenance, Repair, & Overhaul) associated with hydraulics and aircraft flight controls.
Responsibilities: - Investigates design factors such as function, materials, performance, material interchangeability, costs (non-recurring and recurring), operational efficiency, and contractual requirements. Will require close collaboration with USAF partnership and customer teams as well as multiple Parker divisions.
- Applies scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure the outcome and consequence of process improvements in the areas of testing, assembly/disassembly procedures, component inspection, and component substitution. Interprets and validates test results for accuracy, precision, and areas of improvement. Recommends product qualification procedures and parameters to achieve customer and product reliability and safety standards (e.g. failure analysis). May utilize and interpret predictive models to correlate engineering initiatives with production forecast and cost targets.
- Provides technical information for review with Parker divisional teams across the country using established engineering practices, standards, and documentations methods (e.g. structured design process; customer design reviews). Writes supporting documentation for procedures and technical reports; may write technical responses or proposals for customer.
- Contributes to the completion milestones associated withs specific projects (e.g. create function diagrams and system layouts; review detailed drawings and schematics; define data structure, interfaces and programming logic; analyze material requirements; research customer data item requirements).
- Reviews product specifications to ensure clarity, completeness, form, fit, function, and conformity to aerospace and military standards and procedures. Identifies design errors, omissions and other deficiencies and recommends revisions, engineering change orders and improvement to engineering management or the project team.
- Maintains and further develops professional and technical knowledge through on-the-job training, educational workshops, reviewing technical publications and/or participating in professional associations.
- Shares specialized knowledge with others in the organization while protecting intellectual property rights when representing the company on specific projects or engineering tasks. May lead to mentoring opportunities within the company.
- Will closely monitor test/repair production failures requiring detalied root cause & analysis, corrective action development, and planned execution to deadlines and report outs. Lean concepts and tools are highly encouraged to facilitate improvements in first pass yield and associated processes. These will require collaborating cross functionally within the Hill Operations, Quality, Supply Chain and Manufacturing teams to support delivery of repairs at Hill AFB and with Parker divisions.
