Mechanical Engineer – C‑130 Corrosion Prevention and Control Program Support Mechanical Engineer - C-130 Corrosion Engineering and Technical Operations Mechanical Engineer – C‑130 Corrosion Prevention and Control Program Support Mechanical Engineer - C-130 Corrosion Engineering and Technical Operations Location: Warner Robins, GA Travel: 15-25% Job Summary We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer with strong analytical, diagnostic, and technical documentation skills to support the USAF C-130 Corrosion Prevention and Control Program. This role involves engineering analysis, initiating changes to aircraft drawings as directed by the government using Auto CAD-LT software, corrosion-related systems evaluation, and technical assessment of C-130 aircraft. The position requires proficiency in engineering change processes, structured problem-solving methodologies, and aircraft maintenance data interpretation. Primary Engineering Responsibilities CAD Configuration Management - Maintain, update, and validate aircraft marking drawings and associated Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) in accordance with USAF technical data requirements. USAF TDY Engineering Assessments - Perform on-site corrosion and mechanical system evaluations at USAF installations worldwide, including data collection, photographic documentation, and engineering recommendations. CPAB Technical Coordination - Engineer and manage all technical aspects of the annual Corrosion Prevention Advisory Board (CPAB), including Teams environment setup, briefing capture, A/V system configuration, and post-processing of technical presentations. Aircraft Corrosion Engineering Support - Contribute to development and implementation of corrosion mitigation strategies for C-130 airframes across active duty, reserve, and guard units. OSHA-Driven Engineering Initiatives - Support facility-level compliance efforts involving mechanical systems, safety engineering, and hazard mitigation. Technical Reporting - Produce After-Assessment engineering reports and end of the year Corrosion Prevention and Control Final Technical Report including findings, data analysis, and recommended corrective actions. Program Integration - Work directly with the C-130 Corrosion Manager to align engineering activities with program-level objectives. Required Technical Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or closely related discipline. Proficiency with Auto CAD-LT and engineering change management workflows. Experience with aircraft structures , corrosion science , preferred. Ability to interpret and provide recommended changes to technical orders, maintenance data, and engineering drawings. Strong analytical skills with experience applying engineering problem-solving frameworks . Ability to work independently in field environments and collaborate within a small technical team. Willingness to travel 15-25% for USAF assessments. Impact of the Role This position directly influences aircraft structural integrity, corrosion mitigation strategies, and long-term fleet readiness. Your engineering work will support mission-critical decisions affecting C-130 sustainment across the Air Force enterprise. #J-18808-Ljbffr
