About the team
The Air Dominance and Strike MRB Mechanical Engineering Team supports the production, sustainment, and airworthiness of Group 5 air vehicles and missile platforms. The team is focused on keeping fielded and in-production systems flying — evaluating nonconforming hardware, driving Material Review Board (MRB) dispositions, resolving production issues, and ensuring mechanical subsystems meet performance and safety
What you’ll do
- •Lead and grow a team of mechanical sustainment engineers responsible for evaluating nonconforming mechanical hardware and determining engineering dispositions on fielded and in-production Group 5 air vehicles
- •Hire, mentor, and develop engineers on the team, including establishing a path to MRB signature/delegated authority for team members
- •Set technical standards and review complex or high-risk dispositions and repairs, acting as an escalation point for the most difficult nonconformances on mechanical subsystems, actuation, and structural-mechanical interfaces
- •Own team workload and prioritization, ensuring dispositions and repairs are generated accurately and on schedule to keep production flowing
- •Partner with Manufacturing, Quality, Design Engineering, and Supply Chain leadership to resolve cross-functional blockers and align on priorities
- •Drive root cause and corrective action (RCCA) programs across the team to reduce recurring nonconformances and production escapes
- •Build and continuously improve MRB processes, tools, and standard work for mechanical hardware as production rates increase
- •Report on team throughput, nonconformance trends, and open risk to engineering and program leadership
- •Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers on MRB discipline, mechanical fundamentals, and cross-functional coordination
- •Travel to vendor, production, and test sites as needed to support hardware builds and troubleshoot issues directly
