Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions:

• Determine structural certification path for installations, units, and components.
• Carry out preliminary and detailed stress analysis of aircraft interior units and components using FEA (FEMAP/NASTRAN) and hand calculations.
• Prepare interface loads reports and static test plans/reports, stress analysis reports, comparative analysis reports, etc.
• Manage static testing efforts, including instructing the technician on the setup and verifying its accuracy prior to start of static testing, interfacing with the DER to coordinate static testing and resolve any deviations from the test plan. Assist technician with fabrication of the setup as needed.
• Acts as primary interface with customer stress engineers to identify and assist in articulation of customer requirements and priorities; discuss and resolve technical/program issues and problems.

and provide contract status and updates.
