What You'll Do
- Responsible for airframe structural testing, including the fixtures design, the instrumentation design, and analysis predictions, which requires multi-disciplinary skills including structural design, structural analysis, materials engineering, and electrical engineering.
- Perform trade studies, requirements derivation, and establish the overall vehicle configuration based on requirements.
- Complete hand calculations and FEM analysis of primary and secondary aerospace structures.
- Develop company standards for model creation, strength checks, and analysis report generation.
- Compile documentation of stress analysis to support release of engineering drawings and documents.
- Work closely with and mentor designers and junior structural analysts in stress/stability/fracture analysis best practices.
- Provide technical guidance on design concepts (risk vs. cost vs. performance).
- Perform stress analysis of internal loads (FEM), static, fatigue, and/or damage tolerance to support program design, fabrication, testing, and/or structural integrity activities.
- Support test execution and analyze test results to validate and verify that designs meet requirements and specifications.
- Write detailed structural substantiation reports and other technical reports as required in order to obtain FAA airworthiness approvals.
