• Analyzes conducts root cause analysis and develops dispositions for production non-conformances.
• Applies knowledge of Boeing design principles to assess and resolve product/process issues through the product lifecycle.
• Applies engineering principles to research technical operational and quality issues in support of executing final engineering solutions.
• Identifies documents analyzes reported problems and communicates deviations that could impact design intent and safety recommends and manages resolution.
• Develops and implements product/process improvements.
• Supports Integrated Product Teams IPT and participates in design reviews.
• Represents the engineering community from initial build through the production and post-production environment.
• Ensures supplier and build partner compliance with Boeing standards.
• Develops customer correspondence for continued safe operation and maintenance of equipment.
• Participates in on-site disabled product repair teams accident investigation and support teams.
• Analyzes damage repair or structural modification to determine appropriate jacking and shoring prevent collateral damage and assure a safe work environment.
• Designs interim structural repairs and conducts static strength analysis.
• Develops non-destructive test procedures tools and standards.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Masters of Science Degree from an ABET OR ABET equivalent accredited course of study in Engineering
• 3-15+ years of professional experience within manufacturing, parts, production and/or liaison engineering
  • Ideal experience will be involved in structures, systems design or production engineering, specifically within aerospace industry
• Experience in working with nonporous metals (Al, Ti, SS) and their forms (bar, forgings, casting)
• Experience in machining for complex geometry, recognizing load paths on thin walls, undercuts, mismatches
• Experience with reading, interpreting, and application of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) for machine parts
• Experience working with gear details and/or interaction between drive components
• Experience with material processing for metals (e.g. heat treat, peening, plating)
• Experience in functional test and diagnostic of drive components (actuation systems)
• Experience with MRB repair of machined parts (bushings, blends, post processing)
• Experience working with MRB (Material Review Board) activities
• Hands-on experience with materials and manufacturing processes

Preferred Qualifications Desired Skills/Experience:

Liaison engineers that have experience across the following will be looked for:

• Understanding for materials
  • Material types - steel aluminum titanium - strength/capabilities
  • Material forms - bar stock forgings castings and reactions to machining
  • Post machining processing
• Understanding machining and machining limitations
  • Geometry and sequencing for material removal multiple pass speed and feed of cutter
  • Machine practices - machining broaching honing etc
  • Load path analysis for complex integrated shapes - thin walls undercuts mismatches
  • Surface condition and prep - discoloration burns drill/cutter breaks FOD
• Understanding of machined part dimensions and tolerance - GD&T
  • GDT - True position parallel surface bonus tolerance etc - used heavily GDT training 77100 Course - minimum
  • Interpret drawing datums surfaces profiles for tolerancing
  • Examples - requirements between gear/shaft fit up into housings fit up of housing sections base and cover
  • Spatial Analyzer analysis/modeling of discrepant conditions
  • Metrology - methods limitations and interpretation
• Understanding of gears/shafts and gear interaction
• Understanding of material processing
• Understanding functional test requirements
• Understanding of general repair for machined parts

This position is fully onsite, and requires the candidates to be in the Portland, OR area or relocating themselves here fairly quickly. Thus, local or regional talent will be prioritized. Interested and qualified candidates are encouraged to apply with resume clearly showing qualifications.
