• Author clear, complete rework instructions and partner closely with production to communicate tasks, priorities, and expectations
• Manage configuration across the EBOM and MBOM to keep every engine traceable to its correct build state
• Lead teardown and inspection of returned engines, documenting findings and determining whether components are serviceable, repairable, or scrap
• Define and manage upgrade paths that bring legacy-configuration engines to the current standard
• Feed failure findings back to design, quality, and reliability engineering so recurring issues are corrected at the source
• Estimate rework scope, cost, and turnaround time, and coordinate with planning and supply chain to signal hardware demand
• Verify that every reworked engine meets requirements and passes acceptance testing before it ships to the customer
• Maintain accurate as-built records so each engine's final configuration is fully documented after rework

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field; Master's degree preferred
• 5+ years of progressive experience in turbomachinery component manufacturing, aerospace, defense, or high-performance industrial gas turbine industries

• Familiarity with CNC machining, additive manufacturing, and other advanced manufacturing technologies
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities

Preferred Qualifications:
