Understanding of fatigue, fracture mechanics, and structural life prediction methods.
Experience with MIL-STD, ASTM, or other DoD technical specifications and inspection protocols.
Must possess an active Top Secret clearance with eligibility for SCI.
Desired
NDI Level II or III certification in one or more methods.
Experience with digital structural analysis tools (e.g., FEMAP, NASTRAN, ANSYS).
