• Experience with Aircraft Primary Structures on Boeing Commercial Derivatives – Commercial and/or Military applications (737, 747, 757, 767 & 777)
• Experience in aircraft fleet support engineering or related product sustainment engineering, sizing, designing and developing structural repairs

POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES (LEVEL 4):

• Leads development, integration and documentation of structural requirements to establish the system design.
• 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
• Develops and uses Finite Element Models
• Understands proper application of loads in FEMs
• Understands industry best practices in airframe primary structure and loadpaths
• Guides product design and verifies structural integrity by using and developing analytical methods, finite element models/simulations and other analysis tools throughout the product lifecycle to develop the structural environment, characteristics and performance.
• Leads development of test plans and configurations, supports test execution and analyzes/reports test results to validate and verify systems and components meet requirements and specifications.
• Develops analytical processes/tools to improve effectiveness, quality and efficiency of the analysis and repair efforts
• Ensures compliance with methodology and processes for stress analysis, DaDT analysis, and finite element modelling in the accomplishment of work
• Defines and documents certification and test results to substantiate for customers and regulatory agencies that requirements are satisfied.
• Supports in-service products by leading investigations into failures and analyzing improvements.
• Develops analytical processes/tools to improve effectiveness, quality and efficiency of the development effort.
• Works under minimal direction.
