What You Will Do
As you progress through the MRE certification pathway, your responsibilities will grow to include:
Core Engineering Activities
Review and disposition Non-Conforming Material (parts), Deviation Requests, and Waivers from OEM and supply base, including Aftermarket MRO support (upon certification)
Assess fit, form, function, interchangeability, health, safety, intended use, weight, appearance, and major/minor classification based on technical data
Interact with Design Authority and customer/regulatory representatives as required
Determine or review part repair requirements and usage parameters
Conduct design and design-support engineering activities across the program lifecycle
Acquire, Hold and Maintain MRE (Material Review Engineer) Certification.
Growth & Development Activities
Complete Quest Global’s MRE customer (re)certification training program — provided and supported by the company
Provide technical reviews of peers’ work as proficiency develops
Support OJT/mentorship activities within the Engineering Design discipline
Support business development through daily technical work and client interactions
What You Will Bring
BS in Engineering required (Aerospace, Mechanical, or related engineering discipline)
Equivalent combination of BS Engineering + substantial relevant experience will be considered
Experience
4 years of component-level design engineering experience in one or more of the following industries where nonconforming material processes are subject to government or regulatory oversight:
Aerospace & Defense — gas turbine engines (aero, marine, or industrial); structures, propulsion, rotating machinery, or precision components governed under AS9100/FAA regulatory frameworks
Medical Devices — regulated NCM/MRB processes under FDA 21 CFR Part 820 or ISO 13485
Rail & Heavy Industry — nonconformance programs under FRA oversight or equivalent heavy-industry regulatory frameworks
Automotive — formal MRB/NCM experience within an IATF 16949-compliant environment (OEM customer-approval disposition authority is a differentiator in this context)
MRB (Material Review Board) or non-conformance evaluation experience with signatory or disposition authority is a strong differentiator
Engineering signatory responsibilities — noteworthy
Quality engineering experience and/or certifications (e.g., CQE, AS9100/ISO 13485 familiarity) — noteworthy
Technical Skills
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, including GD&T
Experience reviewing engineering assessments, tolerance stacks, engineering changes, or deviations
Familiarity applying quality requirements and interpreting inspection data
Knowledge of modern manufacturing processes (metals, composites) and associated tooling, gaging, and handling
Familiarity with MRP/ERP systems (Oracle, SAP, CAPP, Solumina, or equivalent)
Familiarity with CAB (Corrective Action Board) processes — a plus
