Responsibilities

Develops, integrates, and documents structural requirements to validate Airframe Stress design and Finite Element Modelling and Loadcase assessment
Verifies structural integrity by defining requirements for development of analytical methods, finite element models/simulations and other analysis tools to develop the airframe structural environment, characteristics, and performance of the product
Coordinates with other engineering groups to establish the product's environment
Guides product design and verifies structural integrity by using analytical methods, including classical methods of structural analysis, finite element models/simulations and other analysis tools throughout the product lifecycle to develop the structural environment, characteristics and performance
Understands industry best practices in airframe primary and secondary structure and loadpaths
Develops test plans and configurations, supports test execution and analyzes/reports test results to validate and verify systems and components meet requirements and specifications
Defines and documents certification and test results to substantiate for customers and regulatory agencies that requirements are satisfied
Supports in-service products by investigating failures and analyzing improvements
Works independently under general direction
Works with customers and regulatory agencies to define and maintain certification processes that will ensure requirements are met
Develops analytical processes/tools to improve effectiveness, quality and efficiency of the analysis and repair efforts
Oversees compliance with methodology and processes for stress analysis and finite element modelling
Investigates emerging technologies to develop future product designs to meet projected requirements
Works under consultative direction
Understands the unique challenges of working a Legacy program that was originally certified using 2D drawings, in contrast to a new development program which is purely Model Based
