Ability to generate and review detailed analysis reports and aircraft type certification documents
Ability to communicate clearly and succinctly in written and visual form
Attention to detail, strong organization, and time management skills
Self-starter, team player, and a desire to work in a fast-paced environment

Lead the development of major structural airframe assemblies from preliminary design through certification, and manufacturing ramp up
Apply in depth understanding of load paths, design best practices, and hand calcs to design robust structural configurations
Provide technical guidance on design concepts (risk vs. cost vs. performance)
Demonstrate structural integrity of static strength, stiffness, stability, fatigue, durability, damage tolerance, and other requirements through hand calculations and finite element methods supported by test
Preparation and publication of stress analysis documentation
Support design reviews and release of parts
Support component and assembly tests, including definition, planning, requirements, and report writing
Conduct analysis in support of MRB
Review and approve design dispositions and analysis substantiations upon request throughout the product lifecycle.
Assist design, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain groups with process improvement opportunities and root cause analyses.
Collaborate with suppliers and engineers from loads, design, M&P, structural test and certification throughout the entire product development process from prototype to high-rate production
