Requirements

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):
• Bachelor's or Masters of Science Degree from an ABET OR ABET equivalent accredited course of study in Engineering
• 14 or more years of experience in structures, systems, design, or production engineering (Expert - Level).
• 7+ years of experience in prior Materiel Review Board

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):
Liaison engineers that have experience across the following, will be looked for:
• Understanding for materials
o Material types - steel, aluminum, titanium - strength/capabilities
o Material forms – bar stock, forgings, castings and reactions to machining
o Post machining processing

• Understanding machining and machining limitations
o Geometry and sequencing for material removal (multiple pass, speed and feed of cutter)
o Machine practices – machining, broaching, honing, etc
o Load path analysis for complex, integrated shapes – thin walls, undercuts, mismatches
o Surface condition and prep – discolorization, burns, drill/cutter breaks (FOD)

• Understanding of machined part dimensions and tolerance (GD&T)
o GD&T – True position, parallel surface, bonus tolerance, etc - used heavily (GD&T training 77100 Course – minimum)
o Interpret drawing datums, surfaces, profiles for tolerancing
o Examples - requirements between gear/shaft fit up into housings, fit up of housing sections (base and cover)
o Spatial Analyzer analysis/modeling of discrepant conditions
o Metrology - methods, limitations, and interpretation

• Understanding of gears/shafts and gear interaction
o Gear table understanding
o Details - Teeth/spline profiles, runout, measurement over wires
o Install – gear patterns, gear engagement, bearing/shaft fit

• Understanding of material processing
o Heat treat, induction hardening, stress relief
o Shot and glass peening, abrasive blast cleaning, etching
o Plating – cad, chrome, Zi-Ni
o Finishing – anodize, passivate, primer and paint sequence

• Understanding functional test requirements
o Diagnosing impacts to operation and performance at the airplane level
o Range of FT acceptance – RPM, Torque, gaps/clearance

• Understanding of general repair for machined parts
o -M bushings, heli-coils, and inserts on oversized bores and holes
o Blending on machined materials, re-processing, re-finishing requirements
o Corrosion protection post processing rework - seal and primer requirements

Typical Education & Experience:
Expert Level: Education/experience typically acquired through advanced technical education from an accredited course of study in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry (e.g. Bachelor) and typically 14 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience (e.g. PhD+9 years' related work experience, Master+12 years' related work experience). In the USA, ABET accreditation is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard.
