This role involves managing internal and external testing programs, overseeing FAA-conformed qualification plans, and ensuring materials and processes meet performance and regulatory standards.

Job Responsibility

  • Set up and manage an internal materials test lab, including mechanical test equipment and procedures
  • Operate and maintain mechanical testing systems for tension, compression, shear, fatigue, and adhesive bonding evaluations
  • Develop and oversee FAA-conformed material qualification programs, executed both in-house and at external laboratories
  • Author and maintain material and process specifications, test plans, qualification procedures, and certification documentation
  • Collaborate with design, manufacturing, and certification teams to ensure materials and processes meet performance and regulatory requirements
  • Analyze test data, support failure investigations, and implement corrective actions
  • Provide technical guidance on materials selection and process development for powertrain systems and composite structures
  • Interface with FAA, DERs, and other regulatory bodies to support certification and conformity activities

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
  • Master’s preferred
  • 10+ years of experience in aerospace or electric vehicle materials and process engineering
  • Hands-on experience operating mechanical test equipment and managing material qualification programs
  • Strong understanding of FAA material qualification requirements under 14 CFR Part 23
  • Familiarity with composite manufacturing, adhesive bonding testing, and resin systems (epoxy, polyurethane)
  • Knowledge of relevant standards including ASTM, MIL, and FAA Advisory Circulars
