• Work closely with design engineers to solve real-world engineering problems
• Produce and check design substantiation reports
• Act as the technical authority for analysis, including subcontractor work
• Influence designs early to improve manufacturability, cost, and performance
• Support planning, mentoring, and continuous improvement of analysis methods

What were looking for

• Strong experience in stress analysis & hand calculations (Mathcad)
