An opportunity has arisen with our globally renowned aerospace client for a Mechanical or Avionic/Electrical Product Review Engineer to join their Engineering team in Birmingham. Reporting to the Design & Production Engineering Manager, the successful candidate will provide engineering support throughout aircraft production, resolving manufacturing and design non-conformances while ensuring continued airworthiness, product quality and regulatory compliance. This role requires a proactive engineer who is comfortable working both within the engineering office and on the production floor, collaborating closely with manufacturing, installation and design teams to deliver practical engineering solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Investigate manufacturing and design non-conformances (NCRs), conducting root cause and failure analysis to determine appropriate engineering dispositions.
• Develop interim and permanent engineering solutions to resolve production, quality and operational issues in accordance with the client's design standards.
• Produce authorised repair instructions, engineering procedures and technical guidance to support aircraft production and maintenance activities.
• Assess and resolve engineering issues affecting aircraft structures, mechanical systems, electrical and avionics systems, interiors, payloads and functional testing.
• Identify, document and escalate deviations that may impact product design intent, safety or continued airworthiness, liaising with the Design Organisation where required.
• Apply engineering drawings, design data, schematics, supplier documentation and maintenance information to develop effective component recovery and repair solutions.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives by identifying opportunities to enhance engineering processes, production methods and product quality.
• Develop structural repair solutions, conduct basic static strength assessments and support non-destructive testing activities where required.
• Provide technical support to production teams, suppliers and build partners, ensuring compliance with the client's engineering standards and manufacturing processes.
• Represent the engineering function throughout the production environment, working closely with cross-functional teams to resolve complex engineering challenges.
