Position


Overview

  • Coordinate with customer to identify all design and stress requirements for a particular product

  • Evaluate requirements and structural complexity to determine the most effective stress analysis method.

  • Work with design during conceptual phase to optimize load paths.

  • Work with IPT throughout joint definition phase to optimize structure for weight, cost, and producibility while maintaining required strength and durability. Continue to optimize structure during release of detailed engineering.

  • Develop and validate internal loads using classical and finite element (FEM) approaches.

  • Provide detailed stress analysis of metal and composite structures by classical hand stress calculations and FEM analysis utilizing software such as NASTRAN/PATRAN.

  • Analyze ability of product to withstand stress imposed by conditions such as temperature, loads, motion, and vibration.

  • Provide fatigue and damage tolerance analysis as required.

  • Validate design for optimal material selection and corrosion prevention.

  • Support production by resolving manufacturing issues including disposition of rejection tags.

  • Provide fleet support by developing and substantiating repairs.

  • Direct preparation of final stress analysis reports to substantiate that the design satisfies all relevant EASA or FAA regulations and customer requirements.

  • Assist in preparation of test plans, provide technical support during testing, analyze test results and document conclusions.

  • Provide technical leadership and on-the-job training to team of assigned engineers to enhance skill development of junior engineers.
