• Strong analysis, design, systems engineering, and mathematical skills.


• Experience with commercial CAD software such as Creo, SolidWorks, or equivalent.


• Knowledge of and experience working to industry standards and specifications (e.g., NASA, AIAA, API, ASME, DNV).


• 15-20 years of experience using commercial analysis tools such as FEMAP, NASTRAN, NASGRO, ANSYS, LS-DYNA, and Mathcad (or equivalent, preferred).


• Familiarity with classical structural analysis references such as Bruhn's Analysis and Design of Flight Vehicle Structures, Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain, Peterson's Stress Concentration Factors, and Machinery's Handbook.

• Evaluate structural integrity for failure modes, including static strength, fatigue, fracture, buckling, stability, and creep.


• Analyze and verify the structural adequacy of mechanical joints, including welds and fasteners.


• Support Project Managers and Integrated Product Teams by contributing to proposals, change requests, design reviews, and other customer-driven engineering activities.


• Prepare presentations, interim reports, and technical summaries based on analysis and test results.


• Develop, coordinate, and obtain approval for formal design certification and approval documentation with customers.


• Support fracture control assessments and fatigue-life analyses for flight hardware.
