• Establish a baseline GSE framework that can be replicated across future sites

What You Bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or equivalent practical experience
• 6+ years of experience in aerospace manufacturing engineering, sustainment engineering, or GSE development
• Experience supporting in-service aircraft in a flight line, sustainment, or operational environment
• Hands-on experience with ground support equipment, including defining or deploying equipment

• Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
• Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
