ABOUT THE TEAMThe Air Dominance and Strike Aerostructures Engineering Team is responsible for designing and analyzing advanced structural parts for Group 5 air vehicles and missile platforms. Air Dominance and Strike Structures Engineers own the full development lifecycle, from conceptual to detailed design and analysis of primary and secondary structures, ensuring high-performance, resilient, and scalable mechanical systems that meet the demands of complex, contested environments.
WHAT YOU'LL DO- Serve as the engineering authority dispositioning Material Review Board (MRB) non-conformances for metallic and composite primary and secondary structures on Group 5 air vehicles
- Perform structural substantiation analysis - static strength, fatigue, damage tolerance, and buckling - using first-principle hand calculations and finite element methods to support use-as-is, repair, and scrap dispositions
- Write clear, defensible disposition packages that restore airworthiness and meet program certification requirements
- Develop and continuously improve MRB work methods, tools, and standard dispositions to scale the process as production rates increase
- Monitor trends in recurring non-conformances and drive root cause and corrective action (RCCA) efforts with Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, and Materials & Processes (M&P)
- Coordinate directly with Quality Assurance, Manufacturing, Design, and M&P to resolve non-conformances quickly without compromising structural integrity
- Conduct trade studies to evaluate repair versus rework versus scrap decisions, balancing schedule, cost, and performance
- Provide on-the-floor engineering support during builds, including occasional travel to manufacturing and integration sites
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS- Bachelor's in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience
- 5+ years of experience in aerospace structural analysis, with direct experience dispositioning non-conformances (MRB, liaison, or stress engineering)
- Strong understanding of static strength, fatigue, damage tolerance, and load path analysis for metallic and composite structures
- Proficiency with finite element analysis tools (NASTRAN or equivalent) and classical hand-calculation methods
- Experience analyzing and substantiating repairs for both metallic and composite aircraft structures
- Excellent written communication skills - able to produce clear, technically rigorous disposition packages under schedule pressure
- Self-driven with strong autonomy and adaptability in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
- Ability to travel up to 50% to vendors, production, and test sites as needed to support hardware builds and troubleshoot issues directly
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS- Prior MRB signature/delegated authority on a production aerospace program
- Experience with high-rate or rapidly scaling production environments
- Familiarity with military airworthiness and structural substantiation standards (e.g., MIL-HDBK-5, MIL-STD-1530)
- Experience with composite laminate fastened and bonded structure repair
- CATIA or Siemens NX proficiency
- Hands-on experience in an aircraft manufacturing or depot repair environment
- Broad experience across a range of aircraft or missile programs
