Standards Compliance:

Apply

AIAA S-113

(and related space/launch vehicle standards) to assess ordnance, explosive devices, pyrotechnic separation mechanisms, pressure vessels, and mechanical/propulsion subsystems across all design and production phases.

Peer Reviews & Milestone Gates:

Participate in technical baseline reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, MRR, FRR), ensuring objective evidence supports mission assurance criteria before moving to integration and flight test.

Nonconformance & Root Cause Analysis:

Evaluate Material Review Board (MRB) dispositions, deviations, and waivers. Oversee Failure Review Boards (FRBs) to determine root cause and ensure proper corrective/preventative actions (CAPA) are implemented.

Hardware Acceptance & Verification:

Review and approve Qualification and Acceptance Test Procedures (QTPs/ATPs) and corresponding test results. Serve as the on-site engineering witness during critical testing events as required.

Bachelor of Science in STEM Field with 7+ years supporting missile defense or large-scale, complex DoD programs. Strong preference for Aerospace, Mechanical, and Electrical engineering.

Standards Expertise:

Demonstrated working knowledge and practical application of

AIAA S-113

(or closely related launch/flight vehicle criteria such as

AIAA S-114, SMC-S-016, TOR

standards, or

NASA-STD-8739/AFSPCMAN

equivalents).

Technical Review Skills:

Proven ability to interpret technical drawings, schematics, engineering change orders (ECOs/ECPs), and manufacturing work instructions to verify build integrity.

Communication:

Strong technical writing and presentation skills, capable of defending engineering assessments to government program leadership and contractor teams. Preferred Qualifications Direct experience supporting MDA programs (e.g., Targets and Countermeasures, GMD, THAAD, Aegis BMD).
