Responsible for the structural certification aircraft interior units, including all supporting stress analysis. Presents analysis in Interface Loads Reports or Stress Analysis Reports. Creates static test plans to certify aircraft interior units via static testing. Able to determine specific certification requirements from FAA and customer documentation. Participates in the development of new products and technical proposals in order to enable the company to capture new and additional business. Participates in the preparation and presentation of Design Reviews. Directs the evaluation and approval of repair procedures. Should possess the motivation to complete projects on time and represent the company's core values.

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions:

• Determine structural certification path for installations, units, and components.
• Carry out preliminary and detailed stress analysis of aircraft interior units and components using FEA (FEMAP/NASTRAN) and hand calculations.
• Prepare interface loads reports and static test plans/reports, stress analysis reports, comparative analysis reports, etc.
• Manage static testing efforts, including instructing the technician on the setup and verifying its accuracy prior to start of static testing, interfacing with the DER to coordinate static testing and resolve any deviations from the test plan. Assist technician with fabrication of the setup as needed.
• Acts as primary interface with customer stress engineers to identify and assist in articulation of customer requirements and priorities; discuss and resolve technical/program issues and problems.

and provide contract status and updates.
