Production Engineer

Support the MDA Targets and Countermeasures team: verify that missile flight hardware and propulsion systems are designed, built, and tested to baseline, with AIAA S-113 mission assurance and supplier oversight. Req: TLS-26-031 | Location: Huntsville, AL (On-site) | Clearance: Secret | Level: Sr. | Experience: 7+ years | Education: Bachelor's (4-yr) Key Responsibilities: Design & Build Verification: Audit prime contractor engineering designs, drawing packages, manufacturing processes, and assembly records to ensure end items are built strictly to approved baseline specifications and flight-worthiness requirements. AIAA S-113 & Standards Compliance: Apply AIAA S-113 (and related space/launch vehicle standards) to assess ordnance, explosive devices, pyrotechnic separation mechanisms, pressure vessels, and mechanical/propulsion subsystems across all design and production phases. Peer Reviews & Milestone Gates: Participate in technical baseline reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, MRR, FRR), ensuring objective evidence supports mission assurance criteria before moving to integration and flight test. Nonconformance & Root Cause Analysis: Evaluate Material Review Board (MRB) dispositions, deviations, and waivers. Oversee Failure Review Boards (FRBs) to determine root cause and ensure proper corrective/preventative actions (CAPA) are implemented. Hardware Acceptance & Verification: Review and approve Qualification and Acceptance Test Procedures (QTPs/ATPs) and corresponding test results. Serve as the on-site engineering witness during critical testing events as required. Supplier Integration & Oversight: Lead Integrated Product Team (IPT) meetings with supplier partners to maintain rigorous schedule alignment, track deliverables, and drive rapid technical problem resolution. Required Qualifications: Security Clearance: Active DoD Secret Education & Experience: Bachelor of Science in STEM Field with 7+ years supporting missile defense or large-scale, complex DoD programs. Strong preference for Aerospace, Mechanical, and Electrical engineering. Standards Expertise: Demonstrated working knowledge and practical application of AIAA S-113 (or closely related launch/flight vehicle criteria such as AIAA S-114, SMC-S-016, TOR standards, or NASA-STD-8739/AFSPCMAN equivalents). Technical Review Skills: Proven ability to interpret technical drawings, schematics, engineering change orders (ECOs/ECPs), and manufacturing work instructions to verify build integrity. Communication: Strong technical writing and presentation skills, capable of defending engineering assessments to government program leadership and contractor teams. Desired Qualifications: Direct experience supporting MDA programs (e.g., Targets and Countermeasures, GMD, THAAD, Aegis BMD). Hands-on experience evaluating pyrotechnic devices, initiation systems, electro‑explosive devices (EEDs), solid rocket motors, or high‑reliability electro‑mechanical assemblies. U.S. citizenship and an active security clearance are required. Telesis is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. #J-18808-Ljbffr
