MRB Engineer

We apply intellectual curiosity, passion for aviation, and a commitment to sustainability toward a shared mission of advancing electric aviation. Regardless of position, each team member brings their talent and desire to positively impact the environment and lives of others in a collaborative and inclusive culture.

The MRB Liaison Engineer Specialist evaluates and resolves a variety of engineering-related problems discovered during manufacturing and assembly, both internally and at suppliers. The successful candidate will provide technical dispositions for nonconforming parts and assemblies, ensuring compliance with type design, regulatory standards, and airworthiness requirements. As a key element in cross-functional collaboration between design engineering, manufacturing, quality assurance, and regulatory authorities, this role is pivotal in maintaining the structural and functional integrity of aircraft while supporting efficient production flow.

• Analyze nonconformances in metallic and composite structures, systems installations, motors, batteries, and mechanical assemblies identified on the production line.
• Review engineering documentation and Nonconformance Reports to determine appropriate engineering disposition.
• Collaborate with Design, Stress, Materials & Processes (M&P), EMI, and other engineering departments for complex or out-of-scope deviations requiring elevated approval.
• Develop and validate standard repair procedures.
• Represent MRB Engineering in Material Review Boards (MRBs) and ensure timely resolution of nonconformances to minimize production disruptions.
• Provide technical consultation and drawing interpretation to manufacturing teams and external vendors/suppliers.
• Support root cause analysis and corrective action processes (e.g., RCCA, 8D) in collaboration with Quality and Production teams.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Materials Engineering.
• 5+ years of related professional experience.
• Aerospace MRB experience.
• Strong understanding of aircraft structures and systems, design tolerances, and composite and metallic repair principles.
• Proficiency with 3D CAD software (CATIA/ENOVIA preferred).
• Excellent communication skills to interface with cross-functional and multi-disciplinary teams.
• Self-starter with motivation to see solutions executed to completion.

• Exposure to Digital Thread or Model-Based Definition (MBD) environments.
• Experience with stress justification reports or structural substantiation.
• Experience with various manufacturing techniques and products.

• Ability to ascend and descend ladders and/or stairs.
• Ability to position self for inspection, including confined, elevated, and loud-noise spaces.
• Ability to move and/or transfer materials, equipment, and supplies.
• Ability to use tools, equipment, and technology necessary to perform the job, including dexterity in instrument manipulation.
• Medium work: may involve extended periods on foot.
