Overview Spirit AeroSystems designs and builds aerostructures for both commercial and defense customers. With headquarters in Wichita, Kansas, Spirit operates sites in the U.S., U.K., France and Malaysia. The company's core products include fuselages, pylons, nacelles and wing components for the world's premier aircraft. Spirit AeroSystems focuses on affordable, innovative composite and aluminum manufacturing solutions to support customers around the globe. Responsibilities Material Review Engineers represent the entirety of Engineering, as members of the Material Review Board (MRB), in an Aerospace production or preproduction environment. Requires the capabilities to formulate, analyze, substantiate and document dispositions for production non-conformances within the boundaries of Federal Aviation Regulations and OEM delegated requirements. Utilize independent, single signature authority for dispositioning non-conformances on aircraft structural components, systems, functional tests, and wiring / electrical installations under rapid paced production schedules. This decision /disposition process is based upon knowledge of the design and manufacture of machined /sheet metal parts, weldments, non-metals, advanced composites, and/or large-scale assemblies and systems integration. MRB engineers are self-motivated and possess the ability to act decisively, communicate effectively, and demonstrate innovation and resourcefulness when exercising his or her roll in MRB delegated or non-delegated environments. Utilize skills in applying systems-thinking to improve producibility of hardware and in resolution of production problems. Possesses the ability to investigate for root cause and recommend resolution to design discrepancies. Has the ability to manage projects and lead or participate in cross-functional teams to accomplish engineering and manufacturing initiatives. Qualifications Required Qualifications: Bachelors degree from an ABET accredited program with 10 years of relevant experience. Masters degree from an ABET accredited program with 7-9 years of relevant experience. Preferred Experience: Experience with Material Review Board in aerospace production environment. Aerospace or mechanical engineering degree preferred. Experience with composite materials in design. Knowledge of CATIA V5 programs Ability to manage projects and to lead and participate in cross-functional teams to accomplish engineering initiatives. Ten plus years of experience in reading and interpreting aircraft maintenance documents, engineering repair design, and repair substantiation working for an airline, FAA Part 145 Repair station, and/or aircraft OEM Liaison. Knowledge of FAA regulations and Part 145 Repair Station operational criteria. Skill in applying systems thinking to improve maintainability of components and to resolve component performance problems. Knowledge of both production and design processes including aircraft industry standard repair methods. Ability to develop innovative revisions to the design and manufacture of machined parts, sheet metal parts, welded assemblies, non-metals, advanced composite components, and new material integration.
