Mechanical Engineer

Apogee has an exciting new opportunity for a Mechanical Engineer supporting a Special Mission C-130 undergoing simultaneous Programmed Depot Maintenance (PDM) and aircraft modification. This is an on-aircraft production-floor engineering role embedded on the depot PDM/Mod line. The engineer will provide real-time technical direction to maintenance/mod teams develop and disposition structural and corrosion repairs and troubleshoot mechanical and pneudraulic systems while ensuring strict compliance with Air Force Technical Orders (TOs) and heavy aircraft maintenance/modification practices.

This position requires significant depot-level aircraft MRO experience (PDM/heavy maintenance/modification environment) and is not a desk-only engineering role.

• Provide on-aircraft engineering support forC-130 heavy maintenance and modificationactivities occurring concurrently on a depot line.
• Develop evaluate and dispositionstructural repairs(including damage assessment repair approach selection and coordination of repair execution).
• Evaluate and dispositioncorrosionon aircraft structure/components; supportcorrosion prevention and controlactions and documentation.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues with aircraftmechanical and pneudraulic systems such as:
  • Flight controls (primary/secondary)
  • Landing gear and associated pneudraulic components
  • Environmental control systems and related mechanical interfaces
• Interpret and applyAir Force Technical Orders engineering data drawings and depot maintenance/mod instructions to ensure airworthiness and compliance.
• Support deficiency investigations and documentation (e.g. engineering assist requests quality escapes discrepancy reports) and provide timely depot-floor resolutions.
• Participate in and support program events and technical reviews (TIMs PDR/CDR CCBs AW activities FATs as applicable).
• Coordinate with IPT members (structures systems avionics/integration logistics QA) to ensure work is safe technically correct and schedule-aligned.
• Support sustainment and integrity programs as applicable (OSS&E ASIP/MECSIP/AVIP corrosion programs).

Minimum Experience:

Citizenship: Must be a US citizen
Clearance: Must possess an Active Secret clearance
Education: Bachelors degreein Mechanical Engineering Aerospace Engineering or related field.

Years of Experience:

• 12 years of experience in the respective technical/professional discipline 5 years of which must be in the DoD or other USG ISR/SOF organizations
• Significant depot-level aircraft maintenance/MRO experiencesupportingheavy aircraftin one or more of the following environments:
  • Programmed Depot Maintenance (PDM)
  • Depot modification/upgrade lines
  • Heavy maintenance/structural repair/mod centers
• Demonstrated experience applyingAir Force Technical Orders (TOs)in a depot or heavy maintenance/mod context.

Preferred Qualifications:

Additional Experience:

• C-130 (any variant) depot/PDM/modification experience; Special Mission aircraft experience a plus.
• Experience with airworthiness/certification activities and configuration governance (CCB AW).
• Familiarity with integrity programs (OSS&E ASIP/MECSIP/AVIP) and corrosion programs.
• Experience supporting depot documentation workflows (e.g. engineering dispositions MRB-like processes DRs).
• Experience with aircraft drawings 3D/CAD viewing tools and basic analysis tools relevant to structures/systems.
