About the job

Job Title: Senior Associate, Mechanical Engineer

Job Code: 46153

Job Location: Greenville, Texas

Job Schedule: 9/80 Regular: Off every other Friday, 1st Shift

Job Description:

Participates in the development of models and drawings for detail parts, assemblies, and installations for aircraft structures to support the replacement of obsolete parts found during aircraft maintenance, modification and repair. The engineer applies engineering design and/or analytical theory with understanding of structural analysis to integrated system design while maintaining awareness of program considerations. Designs will be accomplished using world-class, three-dimensional solid modeling CAD tools. The liaison/sustainment engineering role includes support in the transition from engineering design to manufacturing, assembly and aircraft installation of designed products. This position also includes application of principles supporting aircraft life cycle maintenance (repair, rework and designing replacement parts). This position requires personal interaction with many diverse organizations (aircraft mechanics, manufacturing, program management, customer representatives and other engineering disciplines).
