Qualificações

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Materials Science, or field related to aerospace coatings.
• 5+ years of experience in aerospace structural analysis and design, preferably in aerospace or defense or a closely related discipline.
• Master’s degree preferred and 8+ years of experience in the field or related area, Active security clearance is a plus.

Responsabilidades

• Material Selection & Design: Choose or formulate specialized paints, primers, thermal barrier coatings, and diffusion layers for metal and composite substrates.
• Process Engineering: Develop and refine manual or automated spray application, curing methods (such as infrared curing), and surface preparation steps.
• Testing & Qualification: Run performance tests for oxidation, thermal shock, mechanical wear, and salt-spray corrosion to qualify new coating systems.
• Quality & Defect Troubleshooting: Investigate coating failures, reduce porosity or delamination defects, and apply Lean or Six Sigma tools to improve first-time yields.
• Regulatory Compliance: Make sure finishes meet environmental rules, chrome-replacement mandates, and aerospace specifications.
• Process Development: Create, optimize, and maintain specialized finishing techniques such as Air Plasma Spray (APS) or Electron Beam Physical Vapor Deposition (EBPVD).
• Robotics & Tooling: Program and calibrate automated and robotic coating systems, such as FANUC setups, for turbine and engine components.
• Testing & Inspection: Use dimensional tools, XRF analyzers, hardness testers, and CMM equipment to evaluate alloy composition and coating thickness.
• Repair & Compliance: Draft technical repair instructions in line with 14 CFR regulations (such as Parts 25, 43, and 145) and coordinate with FAA-designated engineering representatives (DERs).
• Root-Cause Analysis: Troubleshoot delamination, thermal shock failure, or surface porosity, applying corrective actions to boost production yields.
• Contribute to technical reports, proposal efforts, and technical planning for new programs.
