a complete finite element model;
- Works with suppliers to select the appropriate COTS or custom
fabricated component to meet design engineering needs;
- Knows, understand and interprets industry and customer M&P
specifications to support design compliances;
- Works with other disciplines internally or externally (supplier
and customer) to ensure that thermal, electrical and system
requirements are met;
- May act as Cognizant Engineer (CogE) from cradle-to-grave for a
given design; -Assembly & Acceptance Test
- Works safety with mechanical tools, chemical cleaning solutions
and bonding adhesives;

composite polymers and thin films to ensure compliance to
engineering requirements;
- May supervise or trouble-shoot assembles of electro-mechanical
products in a clean-room environment or test laboratory;
- May supervise or trouble-shoot assemblies of electronic
components including surface mount soldering of fine wires and
parts under a microscope;
- May supervise or trouble-shoot routine test equipment for
development, qualification or acceptance testing; -Diagnostics and
Root Cause - Corrective Action (RCCA)
- Trouble-shoots manufacturing errors for lightweight deployable
structures, electro-mechanical assemblies or components;
- Suggests continuous improvement ideas for drawings, procedures,
work instructions, shop orders and lab work requests;
- Provides advice on preventative and corrective actions to
Engineering and Quality; -Technical Documentation
- May review receiving or in process inspection including
verifications of certificates of conformance and test records from
suppliers alongside Quality Engineers or Inspectors;
- Ensures accurate completion of shop orders, work instructions,
product test and inspection records;
- May write Manufacturing Work Instructions or Shop Orders based
on experience and skill level;
- Must understand aerospace drawings and lab work requests (LWRs)
including competency in the interpretation of technical
requirements such as geometric dimensioning & tolerance (GD&T)
standards;
- Works with Engineers, Lab Technicians and Suppliers' Reps to
update drawings and procedures that govern the manufacturing
process; -Development & Qualification Testing
- Write Test Plans and Procedures to govern in-process,
acceptance and qualification testing of prototype and flight
hardware;
- Defines the development and fabrication of unique test set-ups
to meet engineering requirements;
- Leads the planning, execution and interpretation of designed
experiments (DoE) to identify and characterize critical process
factors;
- Analyses and post-processes test data to meet engineering
requirements;
- Assists with the installation and validation of process and
test equipment;
Team Work & Communication
- Communicates with technicians, quality and the program office
on product performance and functionality issues;
- Contributes to the development of work instructions, batch
records, equipment logs;
- Provides technical support to customers on telecons and during
design reviews and technical interchange meetings;
- Drives and supports engineering-related action item
closure;
Safety
- Follows all safety guidelines and reports unsafe conditions to
a supervisor;
