Job Description

The job allows modification of procedures and practices covering work as long as the end results meet standards of acceptability (quality, volume, timeliness etc.).

• Each ME owns specific parts from the Structures Business’ portfolio and is responsible for supporting production flow as parts fall out of the standard processes or deviate from the Engine Service Manual allowances; a ME will accomplish this by dispositioning the hardware back into processing via a rework loop or by a Departure Record (DR) that has been approved by Engineering and the Customer as an allowable deviation from the Engine Service Manual.
• ME’s are additionally responsible for maintaining current / up-to-date Repair Source Substantiation (RSS) folders- as well as any repair work instructions to ensure compliance with Engine Service Manuals (ESM’s) as they are updated; these updates also retain ACSC’s ability to perform substantiated component repairs.
• In addition to the above core responsibilities, ME’s also work to support Senior ME’s in substantiating new parts and repairs through New Product Introduction (NPI) projects; this brings more parts and repair capabilities into ACSC. ME will be more focused towards hardware newer in the repair space, hardware going through more new repairs, and hardware with a higher degree of repair difficulty.
