Job description

Reporting directly to the Engineering Manager, you are the technical focal for production

Your objectives and mission:

Within the Engineering & Industrialization Department, the Repair Process Engineer ensures that all repair activities are technically robust, compliant with aviation regulations and aligned with the Maintenance Organisation Exposition (MOE).

This includes managing technical publications, ensuring accuracy of authorised data, supporting production, analysing reliability and rework trends, governing controlled documents such as TCNs/CCNs/MDI/MDR, and ensuring safe and compliant execution of Part-145 repair activities.

MAIN ACTIVITIES

1. Technical Data & Regulatory Compliance

• Review OEM technical publications including CMMs, SBs, SILs, IPCs and supporting data for accuracy, completeness and applicability.

• Review and verify CMM accuracy together with the Product Safety Engineer (PSE) and Design Approval Holders (DAH) to ensure only authorised repair data is used.

• Ensure compliance with Part-145 requirements, SMS, HF and HSE regulatory frameworks.

• Translate OEM changes into controlled shop documents (repair instructions, work instructions, process sheets, inspection checklists).

• Review, validate and manage controlled engineering documents, including:

  • Technical Change Notices (TCNs)

  • Customer Change Notices (CCNs)

  • Manufacturing Deviations (MDI/MDR)

  • Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs)

• Ensure only current, approved and controlled technical data is used in the shop environment.

2. Repair Process Definition & Industrial Support

• Maintain, validate and continuously improve repair routings and processes in M3.

• Review standard hour deviations and support production in recovery, optimisation and sustainment plans.

• Provide daily engineering support to troubleshoot deviations, concessions, MDI/MDR requests, process breakdowns and urgent technical queries.

• Implement CCNs and customer-specific instructions into industrial/repair documentation.

• Train technicians on updated repair processes with emphasis on safety, Human Factors and regulatory considerations.

3. Reliability, Technical Investigations & Rework Trending

• Analyse rework trends, repeat defects, scrap and escape patterns to identify systemic issues.

• Perform investigations using 8D, 5-Why, Ishikawa and other recognised root-cause analysis methods.

• Support reliability monitoring and premature failure analysis for repaired products; assist with customer and field investigations.

• Benchmark repair methods with global Safran repair stations to harmonise documentation and adopt best practices.

• Review TCN/CCN/MDI/MDR/NCR trends to identify documentation gaps, method weaknesses or improvement needs.

4. Continuous Improvement & Method Optimisation

• Participate in QRQC, 8D investigations, Kaizen, Lean and 5S activities to stabilise repair processes and minimise Human Factors risks.

• Improve tooling usability, ergonomics, documentation clarity and overall method robustness.

• Integrate lessons learned from investigations (TCN, CCN, MDI/MDR, NCR) into process updates.

• Ensure all improvements maintain full compliance with regulatory and MOE requirements.

5. External Interface, Collaboration & Stakeholder Alignment

• Collaborate with PSE, DAH and OEM Engineering to resolve technical data discrepancies and validate authorised repair content.

• Work with global Safran repair stations to align repair methods and share technical learning.

• Support customer queries, reliability dialogues and technical meetings when required.

• Provide engineering support during customer, OEM or authority audits by demonstrating control of repair processes, documentation and deviation governance.

Any other task as assigned.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechatronics or a related engineering discipline.

• 2-3 years of experience in industrialisation, methods engineering, process engineering, capability development or equivalent roles in aerospace or high-reliability manufacturing.

• Strong understanding of Part-145, industrial readiness, SMS, HF, HSE and process qualification/validation expectations.

• Ability to read, interpret and validate OEM technical publications including CMMs, SBs, SILs, IPCs, AMMs and approved design data.

• Experience managing controlled documents such as TCNs, CCNs, MDI/MDR, NCR and familiarity working with Design Approval Holders (DAH) and Product Safety Engineers (PSE).

• Practical experience with ERP systems (e.g., M3), documentation control systems and repair routing/standard hour management.

• Working knowledge of Lean and continuous improvement tools including QRQC, 8D, Kaizen and process optimisation methodologies

• Strong analytical, technical writing and problem-solving skills, with the ability to support shop investigations and regulatory audits.

• Effective communication skills with the ability to collaborate across Production, Quality, Engineering, PSE/DAH and OEM stakeholders.
