Job Overview
Applies engineering principles to investigate, analyze, plan, design, develop, implement, test, or evaluate military weapons systems. Reviews and prepares engineering and technical analyses, reports, change proposals, and other technical documentation. Applies engineering experience to perform functions such as system integration, configuration management, quality assurance testing, or acquisition and resource management. Analyzes, designs, develops, implements, tests, or evaluates software, components, or systems related to engineering or functional requirements of military weapons systems, associated support systems, or management information systems.
A Structural Analysis Engineer will use their technical expertise to analyze aircraft structure and systems installations. The engineer will have a thorough knowledge in the field of aircraft structural analysis, a broad knowledge of one or more related disciplines (finite element modeling, classical stress analysis, durability and damage tolerance), and apply their understanding of the principles of structural analysis toward the solution of technical problems. The engineer will be responsible for preliminary and detailed analysis of aircraft structures, structural assemblies and full documentation of structural substantiation based on results.
