Aerospace Mechanical Failure Analyst

As a Failure Analyst - Mechanical Design Engineer II here at Honeywell Aerospace, specializing in investigation aerospace components, you will play a critical role in diagnosing and understanding the cause of failures in various aerospace parts.

Your expertise will serve as the backbone for addressing complex business challenges connected to component performance and reliability issues.

You will report directly to our Engineering Manager and you'll work out of our Phoenix, AZ location on a Hybrid work schedule.

Responsibilities


* Conduct in-depth investigations into the causes of component failures, utilizing advanced engineering principles and methodologies with a team approach.


* Apply exemplary engineering investigation competencies to establish the direct cause of the failed components and proactively collaborate with the engineering team to determine root cause and corrective actions.


* Master the connection between metallurgy and part performance to analyze material behaviors under operational conditions.


* Use knowledge of material and process failure phenomena to conclude the direct cause of component failure.


* Leverage detailed knowledge of product functionality to articulate component failure mechanisms comprehensively.


* Collaboratively engage with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to proactively solve problems and improve engineering processes.


* Adhere to standardized Material Engineering Component Investigation (MatEng CI) processes and expectations to ensure consistency and accuracy in investigations.

Qualifications
Must Have:


* Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in a technical discipline such as the sciences, technology, engineering or mathematics.


* Minimum 2 years of experience in Aerospace Engineering performing problem solving investigations which require laboratory analysis.
