MRB Analysis Engineer, Fury

ABOUT THE TEAM
The Air Dominance and Strike Aerostructures Engineering Team is responsible for designing and analyzing advanced structural parts for Group 5 air vehicles and missile platforms. Air Dominance and Strike Structures Engineers own the full development lifecycle, from conceptual to detailed design and analysis of primary and secondary structures, ensuring high-performance, resilient, and scalable mechanical systems that meet the demands of complex, contested environments.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Serve as the engineering authority dispositioning Material Review Board (MRB) non-conformances for metallic and composite primary and secondary structures on Group 5 air vehicles
• Perform structural substantiation analysis — static strength, fatigue, damage tolerance, and buckling — using first-principle hand calculations and finite element methods to support use-as-is, repair, and scrap dispositions
• Write clear, defensible disposition packages that restore airworthiness and meet program certification requirements
• Develop and continuously improve MRB work methods, tools, and standard dispositions to scale the process as production rates increase
• Monitor trends in recurring non-conformances and drive root cause and corrective action (RCCA) efforts with Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, and Materials & Processes (M&P)
• Coordinate directly with Quality Assurance, Manufacturing, Design, and M&P to resolve non-conformances quickly without compromising structural integrity
• Conduct trade studies to evaluate repair versus rework versus scrap decisions, balancing schedule, cost, and performance
• Provide on-the-floor engineering support during builds, including occasional travel to manufacturing and integration sites

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of experience in aerospace structural analysis, with direct experience dispositioning non-conformances (MRB, liaison, or stress engineering)
• Strong understanding of static strength, fatigue, damage tolerance, and load path analysis for metallic and composite structures
• Proficiency with finite element analysis tools (NASTRAN or equivalent) and classical hand-calculation methods
• Experience analyzing and substantiating repairs for both metallic and composite aircraft structures
• Excellent written communication skills — able to produce clear, technically rigorous disposition packages under schedule pressure
• Self-driven with strong autonomy and adaptability in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
• Ability to travel up to 50% to vendors, production, and test sites as needed to support hardware builds and troubleshoot issues directly

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Prior MRB signature/delegated authority on a production aerospace program
• Experience with high-rate or rapidly scaling production environments
• Familiarity with military airworthiness and structural substantiation standards (e.g., MIL-HDBK-5, MIL-STD-1530)
• Experience with composite laminate fastened and bonded structure repair
• CATIA or Siemens NX proficiency
• Hands-on experience in an aircraft manufacturing or depot repair environment
• Broad experience across a range of aircraft or missile programs
