Full Job Description

POSITION SUMMARY:

Pacific Aero Tech (PAT) is an FAA Part 145 Repair Station specializing in aerospace transparencies and advanced repair development. The Design Engineer is fully accountable for reverse engineering components and creating manufacturable definition, leading, and delivering FAA-approved DER qualification tests for new and existing aircraft window repairs, and developing efficient production systems capable of scaling.

This engineer will own component designs, drive R&D experimentation, author deliverable qualification reports and test results, and deliver compliant engineering data packages that enable PAT to efficiently scale new programs.

This role requires strong initiative and autonomy, familiarity with a controlled production environment, regulatory understanding and fluency, hands-on experimentation capability, and the ability to work in a cross functional team to drive development program milestones.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

1. Reverse Engineering

Be able to measure and understand how to best define a component’s functional features.
Ensure engineering data meets 14 CFR, FAA guidance, airworthiness, and safety requirements for Part 145 repairs.
Understand Design for manufacture and apply GD&T per ASME Y14.5 to all critical features and interfaces.
Understand metrology and be familiar with the approaches to gathering part definition data and variance.
Be able to use the advanced features of SolidWorks to adequately define models and drawings.

2. Research, Experimentation & Technical Development

Design and execute R&D experiments to validate new repair methods, materials, tooling, and processes.
Build and test prototype parts, assemblies, and fixtures; analyze results and iterate designs.
Develop and validate process parameters (thermal, mechanical, material, electrical as applicable).
Translate experimental outcomes into repeatable, production-ready engineering solutions.
Understand Manufacturing processes and tooling design/development.

3. Develop Test Plans for certification

Maintain audit-ready documentation and traceability throughout the program lifecycle.
Serve as the technical focal point between FAA, suppliers, and internal stakeholders.
Produce engineering drawings, models, and data packages using SolidWorks.
Define specifications, acceptance criteria, and standards for repair processes and tooling.
Support or author engineering substantiation, including test reports, analysis, and compliance narratives.

4. FAA Part 145 Integration & Production Enablement

Convert approved DER data into shop-floor-ready work instructions, inspection criteria, and training materials.
Support production during initial implementation and ramp-up of new repair products.
Troubleshoot technical issues in manufacturing and drive corrective engineering actions.
Ensure new designs are robust, repeatable, auditable, and cost-effective, and scalable.

QUALIFICATIONS:

Required

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Materials, Aerospace, or Electrical Engineering (ABET-accredited).
2+ years of hands-on engineering experience in a regulated industry (Aerospace, Medical, etc.), preferably in Part 145 or Part 21 environments.
Demonstrated direct experience with R&D and certification-driven engineering projects.
Strong proficiency in SolidWorks and engineering documentation.
Proven ability to design experiments, analyze results, and defend technical conclusions.
Comfortable working in manufacturing, lab, and shop environments.
Strong understanding of metrology and reverse engineering
Strong Technical Writing skills.
Tooling Design
Experience dealing directly with vendors/suppliers to procure and initiate testing/engineered components/tools.

Preferred

Working knowledge of FAA regulations, DER processes, and conformity expectations.
Experience with aerospace transparencies, bonded structures, or complex assemblies.
Prior responsibility for authoring or defending substantiation data.
Experience translating R&D outcomes into certified, production-released repairs.
Composite Experience
Electrical Design Experience
Qualification testing Experience

PHYSICAL AND WORK REQUIREMENTS

Combination of office, laboratory, and manufacturing environments.
Regular hands-on work with tools, fixtures, prototype hardware, and test setups.
Ability to lift up to 40 lbs and work around chemicals, heat, and production equipment.
Compliance with all PAT safety, quality, and FAA regulatory requirements.
