Employee will be responsible for the following functions/duties: Lead technical reviews of propulsion and mechanical system modifications supporting T2 engineering packages and sustainment activities. Evaluate engine bleed-air, cooling, thermal management, vibration, and operability impacts associated with aircraft modifications. Review mechanical interfaces including hydraulics, landing gear, brakes, actuators, fuel systems, Environmental Control Systems (ECS), pneumatic systems, and auxiliary power systems. Assess propulsion integration impacts on aircraft performance, operating limitations, engine margins, maintainability, reliability, and supportability. Review contractor-developed engineering analyses, CAD models, installation drawings, substantiation reports, interface definitions, and test plans. Perform limited engineering analyses supporting integration decisions and technical risk assessments. Support propulsion-related hazard analyses including FHA, FMEA, SSA, and technical risk mitigation activities. Coordinate with OEM technical data, engineering authorities, and Government stakeholders to ensure technically sound integration decisions. Support ground testing, engine testing, developmental test, operational test, and flight test planning as required. Participate in Technical Review Boards, Configuration Control Boards, Flight Readiness Reviews, and Airworthiness Review Boards. Coordinate closely with structures, systems engineering, avionics, flight controls, systems safety, and configuration management engineers. Prepare technical memoranda, executive briefings, engineering recommendations, and peer-review comments.
