Structural Analysis Engineer

Day to Day

• Structural Analysis: Perform detailed structural analysis of composite materials and finite element models to evaluate their performance under various conditions. Utilize advanced simulation tools and techniques to predict the behavior of composite structures.
• Material Testing: Design and conduct comprehensive tests on composite materials, including mechanical and thermal testing, to assess their properties and performance. Analyze test results to validate material models and ensure compliance with aerospace standards.
• Flight Testing: Coordinate and execute flight test programs to validate the performance and safety of composite components. Collaborate with test pilots and flight test engineers to analyze test data and interpret results.
• Flight Simulation: Develop and apply flight simulation models to assess the performance of composite materials and structures in simulated flight conditions. Ensure simulations accurately represent real-world scenarios to support design and testing processes.
• Design Support: Provide engineering support for the design and development of composite structures, including the evaluation of design requirements, material selection, and optimization of composite layups.
