• Execute verification testing as defined by the mechanical specification and test plan
• Conduct design analysis and testing, both structural and thermal, to prove design will meet customer requirements
• Responsible for understanding customer needs, generating test procedures and finally executing the test
• Generate and/or process engineering change orders (ECO's) as required
• Work directly with mechanical designers on CAD models and part documentation

Structural Engineering

• Structural analysis of aircraft modifications, including design support, and preparation of technical documentation necessary to ensure airworthiness
• Determination of stress levels in primary and secondary aircraft structure, systems, and equipment resulting from applied and induced loads, as well as the comparison of these stresses with material properties to predict failure and structural instabilities given due consideration to applicable failure theories

Sustainment Engineering

• Involved in the installation coordination for design, modification, maintenance, and repair of aircraft structures, mechanical systems, and mission equipment installations

• CAD or analysis (FEA) tools exposure, and/or experience in mechanical design or analysis of electronic systems, structures and mechanisms
• Familiarity with transducer instrumentation, data collection and or automation and software programming for numerical analysis
• Must be able to apply the principles of Structural Mechanics to predict internal stresses and structural instabilities
• Must be able to generate free body diagrams, determine reaction forces, calculate internal loads, and develop shear and moment diagrams
• Working knowledge of one programming language
• Familiarity with finite element methods and fatigue and damage tolerance principles

In compliance with pay transparency requirements, the salary range for this role in California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Washington, and the Greater D.C, Denver, or NYC areas is [$68,000.00 MIN - $126,000.00 MAX].
