• Understand customer requirements and prepare formal, controlled engineering documentation (i.e. structural analysis reports, specifications, etc.).
• Prepare and present design review material in support of technical interchange meetings with suppliers and external/internal customers.
• Review designs for preliminary sizing of structural reinforcements and load path definition for structural modifications.
• Support design process from preliminary/conceptual design through critical/detail design.
• Write, Review or Approve structural substantiation reports that meet technical requirements for the program and certifying authorities (TCCA/FAA/EASA).
• Assess primary structure, secondary structure, and flight test installations from a static strength perspective.
• Perform fatigue and damage tolerance assessments based on customer’s mission profile requirements.
• Perform Material Review Board (MRB) duties in support of operations activities (as required).
