Product Review Engineer 1\2
Researches and builds knowledge of Boeing and engineering design principles in order to develop repair solutions to product/process issues for Material Review Board (MRB) repairs on F/A-18. Assists with analyses, root cause analysis and drafting dispositions for design non-conformances. Identifies analyses fleet data, collects and evaluates data on customer findings for product/process improvement opportunities that may include recurrent product support issues. Supports activities to identify deviations that could impact design intent and safety. Participates in Material Review Boards and Integrated Product Teams (IPTs). Assists with the design of interim structural repairs to restore damaged structure to original design strength capability.
Applies basic knowledge of Boeing design and/or engineering principles to develop interim or final engineering solutions to product/process issues throughout aircraft component repair process. Analyzes, conducts failure analysis, root cause analysis and troubleshoots to understand root cause. Provides assistance to identify repair solutions. Provides written dispositions for routine design non-conformances. Supports activities to identify deviations that could impact design intent and safety and product/process improvements. Develops routine customer correspondence for continued safe operation and maintenance of equipment. Ensures supplier and build partner comply with Boeing standards. Represents the engineering community in the local repair facility. Recommends simple non-destructive test procedures, tools, standards. Conducts simple static strength analysis to validate interim design repairs so they meet original design intent.
