  • Perform production engineering analysis supporting Failure Review Boards (FRBs), including fault tree analysis, root cause investigations, and corrective action evaluations.
  • Execute Manufacturing Readiness Assessments (MRAs) and evaluate manufacturing risks, production capacity constraints, and readiness for increased production demands.
  • Monitor supplier performance, support Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) initiatives, and provide recommendations regarding obsolescence management and industrial base health.
  • Prepare technical assessments, information papers, briefing materials, and recommendations for TAGM leadership regarding manufacturing, cost, schedule, performance, and risk considerations.
  • Other duties as assigned in support of mission and business requirements.
Basic Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain a Secret Security Clearance.
  • Experience supporting Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) or engineering projects within a manufacturing environment.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Minimum one (1) year of production engineering, manufacturing engineering, or production environment experience.
  • Experience performing engineering analysis associated with production, manufacturing, quality, or sustainment activities.
  • Experience utilizing Microsoft Office applications in a professional engineering environment.
  • Experience supporting Department of War acquisition, production, or sustainment programs.
  • Experience serving as an Engineering Technical Lead or IPT Lead.
  • Experience supporting Failure Review Boards, root cause investigations, and corrective action implementation.
  • Experience conducting Manufacturing Readiness Assessments (MRAs) or production readiness evaluations.
  • Experience supporting supplier management, supply chain risk management, or industrial base assessments.
