Knowledge of aerostructure, fastener design, materials, and fabrication methods.
Knowledge of statistical concepts and engineering methods to characterize product behavior.
Experience executing modal, structural vibration, and other analyses using NASTRAN/PATRAN or ANSYS.
Ability to develop hardware designs that meet specified thermal environments.
Experience with thermal analysis of electronics enclosures, circuit card assemblies, or airborne stored equipment.
Proficiency in creating high‑tolerance mechanical part and assembly drawings.
Production support experience with basic measurement tools.
Strong interpersonal and communication skills; ability to work independently or as part of a team.
