Responsibilities

• Detailed hand calc and FEM analysis of primary and secondary aerospace structures, mechanical systems, and pressurized hardware – including aerodynamic surfaces, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, hydraulic actuators, spring loaded mechanisms, landing gear, etc.

• Providing technical guidance on design concepts (risk vs. cost vs. performance), deriving design requirements, specifying qualification approaches and test requirements, and processing test data

• Maintain and report on technical status of numerous independent projects

• Supporting cross organizational teams with input for production activities and configuration development

• Analysis checks for designers and junior structural analysts in stress/stability/fracture analysis and best practices

• Documentation of stress analysis to support release of engineering drawings / documents

• Deep understanding of repair methods and analytical practices for metallic structure

• Improving enterprise analysis capabilities such as creating process automation tools for model creation, strength checks, and analysis report generation
