rocket engine manufacturing operations such as machining, metal
forming, welding and brazing, cleaning, heat treating, NDT and
material handling. This position is responsible for manufacturing
engineering activities through the application of engineering
procedures and analysis, evaluation and solution of technical
problems encountered in the application of manufacturing methods,
facilities, processes, materials and tooling. -This position
supports the design, fabrication, modification and evaluation of
manufacturing operations; conceive and plan projects involving
major production activities, exploration of product and/or
processes problems, definition and selection of new concepts and
approaches in manufacturing operations. Conduct technical
investigations involving the application of technical principles;
prepare technical analysis, recommend manufacturing methods and
processes required to meet design objectives on new or improved
products and/or processes; and coordinate technical matters
relating to fabrication drawing interpretation, rework,
manufacturing difficulties and specifications. -Essential
Functions:
- Must be able to obtain a US security clearance as a job
requirement
