• Design Collaboration:
  • Collaborate with design engineers to optimize component designs for weight, strength, and performance requirements.
• Material Selection:
  • Recommend appropriate materials and manufacturing processes based on stress requirements, cost considerations, and project timelines.
• Compliance & Certification:
  • Ensure designs comply with relevant aviation regulations (e.g., FAA, EASA) and collaborate with certification authorities throughout the approval process.
• Documentation:
  • Generate clear and concise technical reports, stress notes, and other documentation to capture analysis results and support internal and external reviews.
• Continuous Improvement:
  • Identify opportunities to enhance analysis methods, tools, and practices, contributing to increased efficiency and reliability in the engineering process.
• Collaboration & Mentoring:
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams (e.g., manufacturing, quality, supply chain) to resolve technical issues.
  • Share technical knowledge and mentor junior team members.
