• Primary Responsibility: Review and assess Non-Conforming Material (NC), including parts, deviation requests, and waivers from OEMs and suppliers. This involves evaluating technical specifications, fit, form, function, safety, and regulatory compliance.
• Ensure proper management and segregation of non-conforming parts in accordance with regulatory standards while awaiting review and disposition.
• Collaborate with Design Authorities to determine part repair requirements or usage parameters.
• Conduct assessments related to engineering principles such as tolerance stacks, GD&T interpretation, interchangeability, and repair requirements.
• Obtain and maintain certification as a "Certified MRB Engineer" through customer-provided training.
• Guide and mentor less experienced engineers, providing technical support and training.
• Participate in quality control processes, including Corrective Action Boards (CAB), and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.

Required Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering.
• Experience:
  • Minimum 7 years of experience in gas turbine design, with partial MRB certification for aero-engine preferred.
  • Minimum 15 years of experience for full MRB certification, allowing the engineer to work on multiple engine components.
• In-depth knowledge of Material Review Board (MRB) processes and non-conformance management in regulated industries such as Aerospace & Defense, Medical, and Mass Transit.
• Experience with ERP/MRP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle) for managing and storing non-conformance data.
• Proficiency in reading and interpreting engineering drawings, with strong understanding of GD&T and modern manufacturing processes (metal, composites).
• Demonstrated expertise in quality assurance processes, including part qualification, non-conforming material disposition, and continuous improvement projects.

Desired Skills:

• A customer-focused mindset with the ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills for presenting technical information to customers and regulatory representatives.
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple tasks with minimal supervision.
• Prior experience in developing and mentoring junior engineers is highly desired.

Work Environment:

• Office and/or shop floor environments with occasional physical tasks, including lifting up to 25 lbs.
• Frequent use of a computer for technical work, document review, and data management.
• Ability to work overtime as needed to meet project deadlines.
• Willingness to travel and work on-site at customer locations when required.

Citizenship Requirement:
U.S. citizenship is mandatory for this position due to the nature of the work.
